PS3 and adding points

Moonpie2 · 10 Jan 2009 at 20:34

Hello there !!

I have just been pondering something and wondered if anyone had an answer.

1) I live in the UK and have a UK credit card so buying stuff on PSN is not a problem.
2) I am going to emigrate to China shortly.
3) Now, I imagine I am not allowed to keep my UK bank account if I am not a resident of the UK anymore.
4) I suspect I cannot put Chinese credit card details into my UK account as the billing address will differ.
5) How can I buy stuff from the UK PSN from China ?

The only thing I can think of at the moment is to add £200 to my PSN wallet before I go... but I'd rather not.

Any help ?

Not all countries have PSN (PlayStation Store) access. It would not surprise me if China is such a country (for obvious reasons). I imagine you wold be best off keeping your UK account. I know Hong Kong has PSN so it is conceivable you could use that, but you may as well use a UK one as topping up a HK one will be just as much hassle.

Yeah I will be keeping my UK account, maybe I wasn't clear on that

But I imagine I cannot enter Chinese credit card details into a UK account as the billing adress will differ.

So I need a way of adding funds to my UK account while living in China.

What is this Entropay Soulja ?
A virtual Visa card ?
How would that work for me ?

I understand the principle I think

But for some reason I can't get my head around something.

When you sign up, you have to put a location in, so I guess YOU entered a USA location and just put a fake adress in (Bervely Hills 90210 or something)?
Then on the funding details page, you added actual and real details for your credit cards ?

Heheh !

But what did you guys enter for the Identification Document section when it obviously would need a USA Passport number/Social Security number/Driving licence number or government ID number ?

:/

So what did you put in that section since you must have entered a USA adress but you are not a USA citizen ?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!
I see

So I guess I should sign up for Entropay while I still have legitimate UK details to enter

I might have a crack now and see if I can enter it into my USA account as I am unable to buy stuff on there at the mo !!

Cheers

GITS

I have to send them some documents !!!
Gahhhh !!

Actually, when signing up, you get to choose from a MASSIVE list of countries. Are you sure its just for UK people ?

It's not, I just meant in your case,

So when I get to China, I guess I could sign up again and enter actual and truthful Chinese details too and that would work fine in buying stuff from any location's PSN store ?
