Having to wait a month is pretty good, previously we've been left waiting over sixth months. They do at least seem to have learned that if they don't release the games sooner over here, everyone is just going to import. I remember last year, getting Pokemon Emerald back in May, finishing it, getting bored and putting it away, going back to it, getting bored, and then noticed that it wasn't even released here in the UK until October. That's pretty damn bad.
Anyway, I just got an email from the site I'm importing from, and they said they've begun to ship the orders, so I should have it by Thursday/Friday next week. A little better than expected, but I still have exams in the way.
