Is there any easy solution to ordering EU games from the US using an EU account?

A PSN card will do the trick.

Oh cool, so a PSN card bought in the US will work on an EU account? Good to know as I want this game.

So if downloaded via eurpoean account, it could still be played by a user based in US -hence the trophies would count towards my main account?

And why wouldn't a typical credit card gift card (visa ex) work in lieu of a PSN gift card? No worries as I believe a 7-11 near me has PSN cards, but not all are as fortunate.

Trophies, definately. I have US PSN games and their in my EU/UK 'username' so thats not an issue.

As for the cards (this goes for ^^ NipGrip ^^ too), im fairly certain you've got no chance with this. Theres no such thing for Europe as far as im aware, and i highly doubt a dollar based (or Yen etc for that matter) would be accepted, for the same reason they wont let you use your CC details on other stores.
Stupid really, but they're trying to enforce the limits they've agreed to. In this case they've let PS3 EU have it, and 360 NA, no exceptions, and sony will have to be seen to do everything within their power to enforce that.

Might be worth looking to do a game swap with someone on a forum where you can see they've a trustworthy reputation for doing this. Ive done it with overseas friends (sent them money and asked them to purchase it, or trade if we already have something the other wants etc).
