U.S. gamers looking to get their grubby mitts on that ridiculously ornate version of Heavy Rain won't, it turns out. One of SCEA's reps confirmed to VG247 that the pricier version won't make the trip across the pond. We're so sorry to upset you with this news, but feel quite fine saving your wallet's soul: money.
Sadly, SCEA wasn't willing to offer anything on a U.S. release date for the game proper, something we've all been waiting on since retailers pointed to potential Japanese and European release dates. Come on, guys! Throw us a bone we can actually chew on here!

Playstation games aren't region-encoded though, right?
So could I theoretically buy a copy in Europe and mail it here and play it?

You most certainly could, all PS3 games are region free. Renchi.com is probably a good bet for you as they sell EU games. It's worth noting that nobody seems to have the Collectors Edition up for preorder yet in the UK.

Actually the SE seems to be a HMV exclusive in the UK, & it's available at the same price as the standard edition (£39.99).

Looks like I'll import the collector's edition of this masterpiece. This is going to revolutionize gaming.

Considering how Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy was censored in the US there's a good chance I'm importing this from the UK in any event. Ideally it simply won't be any different here but... I've my doubts. Bless the PS3's region-free nature in any event.
