Somehow I'm wondering if Sony is in on this...because it seems like the ball is in their court. (still waiting for a PSN code in the United States here [I don't use NA because to me that signifies the mainland US and not Alaska and Hawaii])

Is it Sq-Ex's (my shorthand of Square-Enix) fault or is this all the fault of Sony EU dropping the ball somewhere along the line...or is it the fault of both companies?

What I said is covered in that long post at the top of the page, seems like even my question is answered by that post.
