i tried this a while ago and couldnt find anywhere cheap enough to make it worthwhile, plus the risk of import duty could end up with it costing even more than the UK RRP.

You'll probably a step down convertor or a new UK power supply unit depending on the country of origin. If you get a Jap one the supplied adapter will be 110v, if you wish to use the supplied PSU then a step down convertor is needed or alternatively just buy a UK spec PSU. I imported a Jap original DS in white a few years ago and had to do the same thing.

As for importers try play-asia.com

I've bought from there a few times. They are reliable and pretty fast.
