Disappointing that they don't cater for this. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19850 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:23:16 +0000 Christopher Jack 19850@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Oddly I'm an Australian &amp; I set up my US PSN account using a UK spamming email address. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19846 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:05:08 +0000 Blerk 19846@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>The PSOne titles work okay in other regions, it's actually buying them that's a bit tricky.</p> <p>You need the US-flavoured prepaid cards unless you have a US credit card, Deacon. You can't set up a US account with a UK card. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19845 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:03:35 +0000 DrDamn 19845@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Not sure but PSOne titles like Xenogears may also still be region locked - anyone confirm? So you would be scuppered anyway. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19844 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:56:07 +0000 Deacon 19844@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>^^ Really!??!</p> <p>God DAMN it. There goes Xenogears.</p> <p>I'd hoped they would simply debit your account the same way the EU PSN does when I buy stuff. Importing a US PSN prepaid card? Get to fuck. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19843 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:42:07 +0000 Blerk 19843@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>To buy things from the US PSN store you need US PSN prepaid cards. You can import those from the US using your Aussie credit card. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19842 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:38:02 +0000 DrDamn 19842@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I think you have all the downsides covered there Crysis. Essentially DLC and servers. If the game is not online or you are only interested in free DLC then it's all fine too. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19841 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:27:58 +0000 Christopher Jack 19841@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I believe that if I wanted to purchase something from the US PSN I would need an American Credit card, &amp; those prepaid cards won't work either, I tried D/ling Dino Crisis, no idea why it skipped EuroAustralia's PSN, nor why the hell everything i like half the price, it's digital for fuck sake. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19840 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:00:42 +0000 mathare92 19840@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>^ In which case it's easy to create an account for a particular region's store - to download the appropriate dlc. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19839 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 10:36:42 +0000 Suikoden Fan 19839@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>no ps3 game is region locked, worst case scenario is if that game got dlc, that dlc would have to be purchased from the psn store the disc is from as dlc IS region locked </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19837 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 10:24:50 +0000 Christopher Jack 19837@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>"Australia counts as 'Europe' as far as games go" lol, so true :P<br /> Cheers for that! </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19836 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 10:21:21 +0000 Blerk 19836@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Australia counts as 'Europe' as far as games go, so you should have no problems running games for any platform bought from the UK. And the PS3 doesn't have region locking anyway.</p> <p>There doesn't tend to be such a thing as 'British' servers for multiplayer stuff, as far as I can tell its always a generic European one if they're restricting by region. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4414#post-19835 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 10:13:12 +0000 Christopher Jack 19835@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I've never ordered from overseas before, but with the ridiculous prices here I'm going to start doing that, I'm just curious to know if the PS3 uses region locking on any games? I'm in a pal region planning to order from the UK, worst I've heard is that I'll be stuck with British servers, but should a game from the UK run fine on my Aus console? </p>
