All this about the rechareable battery in the SP (kinda like-a mobile), if it was imported from Japan, would it be able to charge up from a UK household?

Wouldn't you need a stepdown?...or something?

It's just im seriously considering importing since its released 2 days before my bday in Japan.

Have you included import tax?

It is almost certain that you will have to pay it.

Jap - Feb 14th
US & UK - Late March (26th?)
But it wouldn't be the first time if Ninty let the UK date slide a month or three.

Like you, if Nintendo would launch globally then I would have bought from SR. But as it is, I found out about the GBASP on the special reserve news - only to find they didn't sell them, and the quickest I could get one was from Japan!
Very reasonble it was too, as they offered everything needed for the UK.

GBA SP - £80.20 + free adaptor plug.
Stepdown Transformer - £3.20
Headphone converter - £4.99

Including 1-3 day express postage from Hong Kong it all came to less than 100 quid. Pretty good if you ask me.
