As for whether you should import, well I was impatient. If I thought the Euro release would be any time soon I would recommend waiting at this point, exactly for the reason already stated here - multiplayer. But it doesn't look like there will be a release for quite some time so I would say go ahead and import if you really want to play Wipeout now. If you're like me though, you'll probably also end up getting the Euro version for the multiplayer. But, hey, if you're going to get a game twice it may as well be Wipeout!
