Well in terms of importing, PSN might be the easiest and cost effective route for those outside of NA. But I don't know if its allowed to be done since I've never bought anything from out of region. Maybe ask in the EU import thread, someone probably knows more there, but that thread might be more focused toward the physical version.

I think the game will be avaliable in EU PSN also, they just don't offer it as a preorder. The Show 12 VITA game was there in Europe, so this years PS3 version will be. My only problem with EU store is, that 59 USD = 59 EURO, so the games are a lot more expensive. I've bought some US PSN cards for my US PSN account, then preordered the game.

If you are able to transfer funds for your US account, you'll be able to purchase any game you want. I already pre-ordered the game (The Show) from the store, although I live in Europe.
Actually I have bought plenty of games from the US store......
It is true, that they won't accept European credit cards, but you can add funds to your account by buying those "Live cards" from various sites, or by using PayPal(which is a new way to add money to your PSN wallet).
I just wish it would be Tuesday already........

He has his location listed as UK. From the EU thread.

Intriguing. The PayPal option sounds great and any opportunity to purchase items in US$ is fantastic for Aussies right now. If I buy it through "my" American account however, will I still be able to play it on my PS3 under my own usual PSN ID, or will it forever be associated with the other one?

I've downloaded games on from another account and played the game on my main account before. I can't remember if any of those had online passes though. Also not sure if it would be region locked since you main account would be from outside NA.

I think though you can from some searching online.
