U.S.-based reader Sandy recently contacted us with a quandary: s/he (sorry, Sandy, we weren't sure!) is desperately attempting to track down a new copy of Billiard Action. Unfortunately, there appears to be one major obstacle: the game is only available in the UK and Europe, and Sandy is struggling to find anywhere that will send European games to the States. Ebay is one obvious answer, we suppose, but it has its downsides. Can any of our fantastically wise readers help out?Incidentally, we feel Sandy's pain here -- it doesn't happen often, but occasionally a Europe-only release will be cruelly out of our grasp. Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is one recent example of this, and Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat? will become another, when it launches tomorrow.
For the rest of you, where do you import your DS gear and games from? We all know about the likes of Play-Asia and NCSX, and as excellent as they are, are there any smaller sites you feel are just as worth buying from?
When we saw this yesterday, we couldn't help but feel a stab of jealousy, because there are loads of people out there 
This is such a good week for releases that we're not sure if we'd rather be here at home or over in Europe, where DS owners can get a taste of Tingle this week! Not that we're displeased with the array of titles available anywhere, frankly. If only every week could be this week.
With the news -- following long-discussed 
Japanese gamers get all the good stuff!
At least we have one instance where Europeans aren't getting the shaft, having to wait long periods of time for games already released in the US. It would seem that Tingle's upcoming RPG romp is going to be released in Europe sometime in 2007, according to a report from Cubed³. Personally, even not living in Europe ourselves, we're hoping this turns out to be true as it would mean the chances of a US release are greater.
