I can't even get to the Sony Connect store since I get a message saying that it is not available in my area. I know how to beat this by proxys but the bank credit card is harder to fake. I have a few ideas but I get tired of having to out-think this kind of crap. I will never understand why companies limit their market.

From what I gather, you don't need to enter your credit card info just to register. And once you register, you'll have your 50$ credit to spend. Either way, I can tell you once I get mine

Yes, you can buy dead-tree books from Amazon USA, but have you tried buying an
e-book there? And the reason, I think, is simple: publishers give Amazon and Sony permission to sell books only in U.S., for other territories they need to make contracts with local publishers.
