Has the PS3 even been released in those countries??
no, and I think that's the point, they're letting people in those countries register now so that they can reserve their name so that someone in the US or Japan (who do have the consoles now) don't snag it first.

Makes a change to get something in Europe before the US. If you asked most people in the UK which they would prefer
Console available now or just a crappy username I know which they would pick.
Don't matter how long I stand inline it will still be Springtime before the machines even arrive. The US get everything ahead of Europe usually.
Why everything is not launched worldwide at one kick is beyond me.
Indeed, especially as the European video game market is bigger than North America's and Japan's.
