Okay, now some help from some who is willing to do a litlle bit of explaining...

This is how it is. The PSN Store is broke down into about 3 different stores. To make it easy we are going to call them the

"USA Store" the "Europe Store" and the "Japan Store"

Okay, you live in the great eropean area, life is good, but say you want something from another region that has something you want.
(The other guy is correct, they do release stuff in the order of Japan, USA, Europe Normally)

Right now your PS3 is set up with your username and thats connected to your PSN Store account correct?, correct.

All you have to do is this

1. Make another use name, for the sake of making it easy name it "USA", or leave it "User 2" I don't really care.

2. Switch to that user on the PS3

3. Make a new PSN account
(This is where you are going to to be like...
"omgadzz lik i dont liv in da usa!"
Don't worry about it, sony doesnt know that.

For the information just make it up, if it spits back an error message, google a real location in the usa and fill it in, but trust me, it doesnt matter. Fake the email address and when it asks for one. When it comes to the the "wallet" skip that option, you wont be able to purchase anything. Some how it knows. My example it this, i live in the usa, i made a euro account and tried entering my USA cc# and it wouldnt take it., could be a fluke, or something.
anyways, back to the instructions...

4. That should be it, you should have another user on your ps3, and it should be linked to your "new" fake PSN Store account in another region.



2354234232. Now when it comes to the Japan account, this one was a little trickier, its a lot of just entering random information in the spots, using your experience of making your home account, and the other english account, you should kind of have an idea of what info goes where.



p.s.s.s.s.s

btw doing the survery at the end of the setup is very confusing in japanesse lol
