How can I get the different region versions?

Regarding the NA and JP versions, should I just make an account in those regions and buy the game there? Do I need to find discs on ebay?

I believe all 3 versions of this game have retail releases available but you will need accounts in all 3 regions to buy the DLCs.

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking on ebay and I havent been able to find a listing that clearly states the region.. do you think I could just get the NA and JP versions from the store?

Check the covers.

 

PEGI (number in colored box) is EU

ESRB (letter in big white box) is NA

CERO (letter in small black box) is JP

US releases will have an ESRB M-17+ rating and JP copies will have a CERO rating of some sort, though if it's a Z rating you will be screwed for getting the DLC because Z rated items can only be bought with a JP Credit Card.

 

The NA digital version will be easy to get if you have a US account but the JP digital release won't be so easy due to the store not always recognising the English names for games - therefore you will need to know the JP spelling for it.

 

EDIT 1: Play-Asia has the US retail version in stock.

EDIT 2: It looks like the JP version is digital only but fortunately it's a C so getting the DLC isn't a problem: https://store.playstation.com/ja-jp/product/JP1392-CUSA03228_00-BINDINGOFISAACP4
