Guide to buying stuff on the PlayStation Network

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

PSN store you access in PS3 depends on the location of the user account / PSN you made. You can create a user account with a US address to access the US PSN store but you need a US credit card to buy. Iba-iba talaga ang laman ng mga stores.

location will depend on it's respect currency, say:

usa = us dollars
hk = hk dollars
jp = yen
sg = sg dollar
phi = peso <--- in your dreams malabo ito bwahahaha!

yes different regions different contents and the only way you can access other stores is by making a new user and sign up for your desired region... good luck and enjoy!

I just got my PS3 and I signed up for a US account on PSN. I was able to download the Burnout Paradise demo, but it took way too long. If I make another account (say HK or Singapore), will the demo downloads be faster than downloading from US? I have a feeling it will be faster, but I would like some confirmation from others who have tried it. Thanks.

^Thanks for the reply! I'm really getting very poor download speeds for the demo. I guess I'll have to live with it for now.

I live in the Philippines but my PSN account is a US one. I used my sister's address in Colorado. Pwede naman kahit kaninong address para makagawa ng PSN ID. Pero sa credit card, ibang usapan na.

Nga pala, pinakamagandang content ay nasa Japan... as usual.

^^ paano mo makuha TEXT SPEAK VIOLATION na-download?

Downloaded games cannot be copied to an external drive connected to PS3.

But I read somewehere na PSN can be accessed from a PC, then that is a different story.
