meh, i almost always import DS games now, even if they're coming eventually.
I bought Phoenix wright 3 and had it fast-couriered from play-asia, cost me 50 bucks (would have been 40 but for the extra postage, didn't feel like waitng a couple of weeks)
When this FINALLY gets here (probably in the middle of next year) I could have the privilege of spending 70 bucks instead. Not worth it.
Maybe if Aussie shops charged prices in proportion to the rest of the world I'd buy here again, but it's not going to happen.
Best experience yet (for ridiculousness) was when I bought Trauma Centre off the shelf, 2 days after it was released here, in early 2007. It contained advertising for SBK, coming in 2006..... i laughed all the way home that after almost 2 years of 'work' bringing it south, they didn't bother removing the advertising for a game that died over a year ago....

Someone might shoot me for this, but I've never played a Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy game.
I import a lot of games these days. Firstly because we're left waiting at least two months or so for most games, often much longer. Secondly, because the Aussie dollar is strong at the moment and the US dollar is weak, it's cheaper to import games (even after postage). And thirdly, it's easier to find the exact title you want. So it's makes sense on all counts.
