Re: PSN cards?

I myself I opened a UK account, bought a UK psn card online from pcgamesupply.com, and they sent me the code by E-mail. I've already done it twice, and everything works well. And made my purchases on PSN UK account without any problem.

Re: PSN cards?

Example with COD Map pack.
If you have 2 accounts on your ps, one lebanese and the other is UK.
You download them using your UK PSN card to your UK account.
They'll get installed on your PS3.
Log in with your lebanese account and voila.

I'm not so sure about that.
And the reason i made my account a UK one, is that most online games look for hosts " in your area " before expanding the search to other countries.
Meaning i'll get hosts from europe and not from the US, benefiting from <150 ms latency.

Re: PSN cards?

I have a US account, so there is no worries about this(you can buy anything from the store), but you should pay attention to certain ADD-ON GAMES. there are a few add on games that will not work if your game disk is from another region than your psn.

here is a link

read it but dont worry much, since we are the same region as the UK

Re: PSN cards?

Guys, i just called PCandParts to order a PSN card, (but they said i have to order by email)
Anyway, that gives me more time to make sure what im buying will work,

So my PSN account, is UK (i filled in the country info UK when i opened it )
Does that mean i have to buy a UK  PSN card from PcandParts ?!!

Please all people knowledgeable in this matter reply ASAP and tell me if i am doing the right thing!

PS: All the PSN card in Virgin/BHV/SonyWorld  now are stocked out,
The employee at virgin said, that some things got wrong with them.. so their not ordering anymore!

Be careful here, if you have in mind buying DLC they will be region locked to games

That being said, the UK store you shouldn't have any real problems with this issue since the games sold in UK are of same region you get here (region 2)

Either way, what ive done to make sure i never have a problem, is made a separate UAE account, i buy and download everything i need from there and the content will show up and work for all users ever made on the PS3 (as long as it isn't an online pass for a game)

Other than that, yes, just buy the UK card, and redeem it and buy what you need to do. (things on the UK store are somewhat cheaper than the UAE, not to mention the UAE store is missing a lot of things)

Mind me asking, what are you buying ?

But the smartest thing in that case is to make a us account because it's cheaper
Right Chups?

Am buyin the mw3 map pack anywayz, u got me

If your Mw3 game is Region 1, and you buy the maps from the USA store, it will work

IF you have a Region 2 and buy the maps from the USA store,  YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY THE MAPS.

My friend learnt this the hard way with mw2

Guys, just keep in mind, DLC IS REGION LOCKED WITH RESPECT TO GAME REGION. And PSN codes are locked to store - i.e. only uk store codes will work with UK accounts, US with US, UAE with UAE etc.

that being said, you are correct in your statement that things are cheaper on the USA store - its all about taxing issues and what not.

Re: PSN cards?

I just got the Card from PCandParts, and i have 2 complaints already !
-_-First of all, from my knowledge,  PSN cards should come in original Bluray boxes, with a scratch paper with the code in it,
-_-Second, i got the 35GBP, which is like 42 Euros ! But this code was just 35 Euros !!
Why didnt they just say in their website that its 35 Euros, if i knew that, i would had second thoughts about purchasing, cause i thought i was going to have like 42 euros.
Well anyway, life is a dissapointing, so whatever about that.

Mind me asking, what are you buying ?

When i redeemed the code, i directly Bought the GTA IV Liberty City game (for like 13 euros)and InFamous Festival Of Blood for 8 euros,and with this game,came this awesoome cool dynamic theme, i love it !  (i had my eye on them for a while, so i bought them directly)
Whats left in my account, like 14 Euros left, Im gonna wait for the new BattleField 3 DLC Close Quarters to Get it.
And also if there is any fund left, I just got the Aliens Vs Predator Game Disc (Its so Awesome, Even the multiplayer)  maybe if i get/understand/master the game more, i would buy some of its Map multiplayer packs

Was it 25 GBP or 25 Euros ??!  It was Euros right ?

Yea man, i saw this theme on Youtube, I searched Everywhere on the internet to try finding it and download it, but No luck  (I knew it only comes with the game after purchase) but i still looked for it !
I have like a couple of dozen Dynamic Bad Ass awesome themes now!
My Console seems actually really fun lately

Re: PSN cards?

I never liked PCandParts; their prices are over inflated, i'll just be patient until i get my own CC number and just use it to sites that you pay them like via moneybookers or something, and they send you the code to your email, no need to pay extra 5-10$ for nothing

(yes im cheap sorry:P)

Re: PSN cards?

@The-MMMs  yea man,
And its not about only the inflated high prices, in my case,
It was something like a scam !  It clearly said 35GBP on the site, which means 42 Euros !
But i got 35 Euros only !

Re: PSN cards?

There's a reason you buy PSN Cards for the specific PSN store.

You cannot buy a GBP card and fund your account with EUR currency. It just does not work. Try it all you want, it does not work.

I don't know what you have done but I am sure you got it wrong somewhere.

UK store is different to all the other Euro stores ;)

If it say £35 then your not scammed

The UK does not use Euro's

My account is UK,  when i redeemed the 35GBP code from PCandParts,
35 Euros were added to my funds,  35 EUROS, not GBP or anything else

Re: PSN cards?

Well anyway, the code that i got from PCandParts was correct, i actually got 35 GBP, but didnt know it lol

I said that in the above post, i should have made clear that symbol

Yes pounds > Euros in terms of quantity

As far as i know, its one of the few, if not only, European country that still uses its own currency

I used to live there, lived 12 years, i remember at the time of the Euro everyone went crazy and they basically said, NO EURO, GTFO

Wouldn't expect anything less from the British

Ill accept your invite; thats if i ever find a reason to use my PS3, perhaps when the Ratchet and Clank HD remakes come out.
