But that doesn't appear to be an issue for online selling.
I see what you're saying about Amazon (I've bought books from Amazon UK myself, when there was a 2 month lag between the UK and US release dates), but the best info we have is that this is precisely the issue that's keeping Sony Connect from moving into, say, Europe.
