Oh and by the way, this used to work but has stopped working as of a couple of weeks ago:
I 'rented' a US address at myus.com and had American Express list that as my primary address on my credit card. At that point I could purchase from the Sony store with my regular credit card. I will try the trick again with a VPN account making my PC appear to be US based (the same trick I use to rent VUDU movies ;-)
The lengths you have to go through to circumvent these old-world rights issues based on ancient concepts as 'windows' and geographies... If I wanted to, I could obtain everything I want without paying a dime and here I am, subscribing to the notion that the rights owner deserves to make money and consequently find myself hindered to the maximum degree...
