Technically my first import was a Dragon Ball Z game for the SNES. Though, at the time I didn't know it was an import, a friend of mine traded me for it and he had dug out grooves into the back of the cart. I mean, I knew it wasn't a US cart, or even english, but it never occured to me until I started importing PS1 games that it was an import. I can't recall my first PS1 import anymore.

Why don't you break it down for us where the extream importance in the semantics of the difference is. Because, reading the definition, it leads me to beleive that when you buy a game that came from another country you're buying an "import" as in "imported". Are you trying to point out the "ing" ending? Because I don't think anyone used it. What possessed you to make a one sentence comment like this then not explain why?

Buying an imported game within your own country still constitutes as buying an import. Just because you aren't doing the importing yourself doesn't change this. You were just instigating things.
