Was just making sure. Thanks!

So presumably this will not be available to anyone outside of the US/Canada?

You could get some US PSN codes and buy it that way. I think that is how EU people buy stuff off the US store and vice versa.

I created an American PSN account simply by using a friend's address, but from memory, you aren't able to use a credit card to purchase anything unless it's linked to that name/address?

I'm talking about a US PSN code.

I'd do some research first, but this may work for you. Although I believe that making a PSN account that is not your residential region is against TOS. Not sure if they have ever reprimanded anyone for doing so. I'd research before going this route.

If they bothered to make their content available in more regions, people wouldn't have to circumvent the cumbersome system!

From a consumer point of view that makes complete sense, make content available everywhere. But the business side of things is not that simple. If they don't think MLB 13 would sell in the EU, UK, other regions they don't have much reason to go through the cost and process of publishing the game in those regions.

Fair point, I know it's a multi-faceted issue and probably a discussion for another thread, so I won't side track this any further.

Just wanted to know where fellow Aussies were importing from. I'm happy enough to use Play Asia, but will download it just the same if I can.
