Other Solution: Make friends with a Japanese girl, and let her sneak a few games past.

Typically 6 months or more, after US releases, when they arrive here. And the price? Whilst games sell for around US$50 over there, they're usually AU$90 here (~US$83).
Holy poo poo, that's insane. What the hell goes through these people's minds when they're deciding how to translate the price from country to country?
Its called FOREX and i know people who make MILLIONS from buying and selling foreign money due to rising and falling exhchange rates.
and i still don't understand why wee can't have global release dates for anything...i agree it is like a giant sofa king wee todd ed.

I feel sorry for Zinga.
But well I think I remember reading somewhere that Zinga doesn't really play games on his PSP much so it's sorta fine.
