I just import because of the price, which is easily half than the price in Germany.

No... i think ur heavily overexaggerating now. Games in the UK can't be that cheap can they?
Can you give me a tip from which UK webstore to order games?

Here just some comparisions between some wii games on amazon.de (A) and play.com (P), I made two weeks ago. But remember, that this UK-based store isn't giving a direct exchange rate. They include higher shipment costs in the Euro price there.
Need for Speed Undercover A: 44,95 € P:19,49 €
Rayman's Raving Rabbids TV Party A: 36,95 € P: 19,49 €
Sim City Creator A:33,99 € P: 15,49€
FIFA 09 A:49,95 € P:23,49 €
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games A: 39,99 € P: 23,49 €
But remember, that this UK-based store isn't giving a direct exchange rate. They include higher shipment costs in the Euro price there. So given you would really get your games for the exchange-rate of 1 Euro= 1,17 GBP
It looks even better for importing.
Ghostbusters PS3 A: 64,95 Euro P:39,99 GBP = 46 Euro or 51 Euro they want with their "special" exchange rate.
Prototype PS3: A:59,95 Euro P:P:39,99 GBP = 46 Euro or 51 Euro they want with their "special" exchange rate.
Virtua Tennis Wii: A: 45,95 Euro P:29,99 GBP = 35 Euro or 38,99 Euro (again their "special")
But the key to the price difference is, that the prices in the UK drop way faster than in Germany. That's what I was referring to, when I said, that the price could sometimes easily be half of it. It's hard to find a wii game i.e. anywhere below 20 Euro, while it's easier in the UK.
