Amazon MP3 - will it work in Malaysia?

I recently read this article at Mashable.com (which is a good site on social networking and other online news): The Daily Poll: Will Amazon’s MP3 Store Topple iTunes?
A quick gander will tell you that the biggest percentage (37%) think that it will gain some popularity and is a moderate threat to iTunes, the smallest percentage (8%) think that it'd have no impact and an almost-equal percentage (29% and 26%) think that it'd rock up to #1 or it'd be only a minor threat. So it could go any way, really - but there's no doubting that it'd have SOME effect on the online music market.

As you can see in the little picture-link above, they offer over 2 million songs, and they're DRM (Digital Rights Management) free. In English, it means you can LEGALLY play them on your iPod™/Zune™/Zen™/iPhone™/RAZR™/BlackBerry™/PC/etc or even burn them onto CD™. DRM has been one of the more controversial things that the record companies have done in recent years and has been a cause for much grief for them (and consumers too), so it's a big plus-point to NOT have it.

Most songs are between $0.89 and $0.99, and most albums are between $5.99 and $9.99. However, the major advantage that Amazon MP3 has over iTunes is DRM-free tracks from three of the major record labels, versus iTunes who only offers DRM-free tracks from EMI.

Couple of other interesting points from the website:

• MP3 files are encoded using variable bit rates, averaging 256 kbps which is good. Some are at a constant 256 kbps.
• You'll need to have the Amazon MP3 Downloader application for album purchases but not required for songs purchases. It's available for Windows XP or Vista and Mac OS X 10.4 or higher.

Now here's the unfortunate part for us people in Malaysia:

"At this time music downloads are only available to customers using a credit or debit card issued by a U.S bank with a U.S. billing address."

Unfortunately, I don't yet know of any easy way of getting the above 2 things so... no go. Anyway check it out and judge for yourself - they allow lots of song previewing.
