Hello, I'm trying to set it up so I can buy stuff from the US store using my UK Visa card. I had it set up fine before and could buy stuff, but my PS3 failed on me and when the new one came i'd forgot the e-mail and password (stupidly) and so I lost the games I'd bought aswell.
I want to put some funds in it ready because theres a good chance that FF7 will be released during E3 and I also want RE:DC which was released last week and I bet MGS will be on there soon aswell, and the chance of us Europeans getting any decent PS1 classics on our store is very slim or they'll appear 6 months down the line.
I heard of something called Entropay but I'd rather not use it, I heard it charges for using their services and it all sounds like a headache.
If I could get it to use my Visa like it did before it would be perfect, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not really sure how to go about this considering I always just buy the PSN GameCards from retailers like Wal-Mart and Target.

Honestly, that's what I'd suggest you do, but I'll see about setting up something on my PSN Account and then getting back to you with a more informative answer.

We don't have any pre paid cards in the UK you can buy. I wish we did. I know you can buy them from ebay but you end up paying more, and I dont get much money so I wanna spend as little as I can really.
By the way, thanks for the response, don't go to too much trouble looking for an answer, I can survive without, it's just a bit annoying.
Thanks again.

It seems like you can adjust your card setup by going to the "Manage Account" option under the PSN icon and selecting the "Billing Method" (or whatever it's called). That should allow you to attach a card to your account without problem.

I've tried that but it won't work. It seems to check the address with the Card address, which is different, the US account has a fake address while my Card obviously has my genuine UK address. So, it looks like there's no way around it :(
Thanks for your help anyway.
