I can confirm what was posted on my wall. US version is not compatible with EMEA (A for Australasia in this case) version. Even though I have a saved game from having rented the US version I don't have the option of loading that saved game using the Black Phantom version.
So looks like separation of version is pretty much absolute.
Let's hope Demon's Souls 2 has a worldwide release (at least outside Japan) and is globally compatible. Its up to us in EMEAA to support it enough for the release shedule and region compatibility to be universal.
