/thread.

well one isn't sure if that was head though, looked like a face fu*@ing to me. could be epic fail for the dog with goo in it's eyes......

sorry got off track there for a sec and forgot why i opened the thread.....Tony does this mean that PS3's aren't region sensitive??? ie; can i go to psn japan and by games only available in japan??? (my daughter knows how to read it as well) you know to avoid the region thing???

lmao gamer

and answered my own question for those, besides muffy and myself, who're following this. I read yesterday that just before the ps3 came out they announced that they weren't going to be region oriented. whether or not they changed their minds on the matter is unseen. cannot find anything on that particular tangent. so it would seem they came out region neutral.... back when they were backwards compatible.

So I researched the risks of having a UK or Japanese account and the consensus is that there isn't any risk. It appears to be common practice. Really the only benefit is early demo's and different themes. You can't purchase anything from the stores unless you have a japanese credit card or UK credit card.

Tony and I got the Bayonetta demo early and its AWESOME.

Oh and Gamer, there isn't much of a region lock. Only thing is DLC is sometimes region sensitive. I've bought Fritz Chess from Germany and it played fine and I have Aquanaut's Holiday coming from Japan and they're guaranteeing it will play fine on my PS3 with trophy support. There are a lot of awesome japanese games that I want. Only issue is that they're expensive. Some of them are like $80+ and then the shipping is sometimes pricey.

My bad for missing your question earlier Gamer. US credit and debit cards do not work on the Japanese store. You can however purchase Japanese PSN cards online and shop that way. If you want more info about that let me know.

And Muff, PSN is PARTIALLY region sensitive. I may have said this before, but DO NOT GO INTO HOME UNDER AN INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNT. Sony is strict about this and THIS MAY mess up your US account. Otherwise as I stated before, make a UK and Japanese account to take advantage of all the free content we get here late or sometimes don't get at all.

I go in all three stores every Thursday (they all update the same day despite time differences) and I download all the free content they. I log back into my US account and BOOM, I'm good to go.

Nice.....thanks tony and muff......greatly appreciated

OK OK all caught up and making accounts now....thanks all.
