Yeah, it's incredibly annoying to say the least. Thankfully the price difference for importing one and getting a PAL one locally isn't too drastic, so I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. Lol I'm guessing it will be £180 when it releases here. It was just a shade under £200 to import the US after import fees, postage and currency conversion. However it's just if I had known, I obviously would have gone for a PAL version. >.< Ah well it doesn't matter. XD

Also, my apologies if I sound ungrateful. XD I am ofcourse very happy with the one I have and appreciate the trouble you went through to forward it for me.
