Death Stryke Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 ^Yup, create a virtual credit card using your existing card. Use your correct credit card billing address while signing up and once your virtual card is created, enter the same details in the US PSN account u have with same name which comes on the virtual card which is- ENTROPAY USER. I hope u know that you need to give in a fake US address when you create a US PSN account. Also give an address based in Florida, I heard they are not charged any tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i already created an US account using a fake address (though not in florida i think). Does Entropay charge anything extra for the transaction or is it exactly based on the exchange rates prevailaing at that time?? Also is it better using an US address or UK address....which would be cheaper in terms of game prices??? - Angy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 It charges you 4% over the amount u want to load your virtual card with. Its not much really. for a 50 dollar transfer you will charged 2 dollars. So its decent. Note that Entropay doesnt work for EU/UK PSN stores, and if u have bought your games from India, dont waste money buying DLC from US PSN store since it would not work since we get EU games. DLC is region locked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLC is region locked Oh!! It doesnt work with EU store?? So that means any paid DLC is useless for us as the ones from US wonr work!! :-(!!! When are we getting our own PSN store??? We do have a large enough user base for a better support system!! How else does SONY think they will get a bigger user-base without providing better support!! Frankly I am a little dissed with SONY over this!! I mean, in one of the interviews covered by GI, the guy mentioned that after-warranty service available here is that you get a new PS3 for HALF THE PRICE!!! Now, if the fault in the PS3 is actually a minor one which can be rectified for 2k-3k, why are we being forced to pay 13k for it???? Its actually very sad considering that fact that we are the ones who are supporting sony at a time when they have just started their outreach in India!! -Angy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 ^ I agree, but there is no point really of talking about this. They are probably too lazy or have their own reasons. See, only some games heavily depend on DLC, like Guitar hero or rock band. For them its advisable to get the NTSC-U copies. For the EU games we get, free DLC upgrades can always be downloaded from the UK stores. Paid DLC, well I guess u have to find some one in UK who can do something for u. Dunno if there is any other virtual credit card that works in the UK store. Google more about it yea? some workaround, let us kno in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
