Why does Sony treat EU gamers like we have the plauge? (PSN card rant)

[Nerdkiller likes BD]

I'm really getting sick of this. I don't get how Sony has the cards available in Japan and are coming into the US soon, but where does Europe come into? Why haven't they brought the cards over here yet? I don't have a credit card (my father won't let me use his) and I want to download stuff off the network, but I just don't get why the EU is left out of the equation. (I'm sure it'll come eventually) Hell, even the Oz gets exclusive downloadable content on their store (we get no exclusive content) and the games that come out in the US take months to get over here, Probably because of all the languages needed to be translated, but I'm not entirely sure (eg, Pain, came out late last year, finally coming over to Europe this month). Can I have your thoughts on this?
