Default How do I purchase UK PSN store items when I'm in the USA?

Okay so I'm setting up a UK account so I can get that Hustle Kings game, because I don't want to wait another week or two or more so they can get their sh*t together.

But how do I pay for it? I have a credit/debit card that's assigned to an American address.

Is there somewhere I can pay for a UK PSN card and get the code # immediately instead of having to get it mailed to me?

Thanks!

Shin-Ra had a website where you could get a £25 PSN card for £20 or something like that.

I could get you one if you want as well.

Well I want to get Hustle Kings and that's it. And it's 6.99 pounds.

So whatever that would cost plus a few bucks for your trouble I suppose.

Unless that's the only amount you can get.

I got exactly twenty bucks.

Can you get it now or you have to wait?

The lowest PSN card is £20 which is about $32. But like I said I think Shin-Ra knows a place cheaper. If you still want me to get it, you'll have to wait till I get off work which is about 4 hrs from now. I don't need anything either as I was planning to stop by hmv anyways.

oh well...guess I'll have to wait til next week.

Bum ass devs....

I'd LOVE to know why the game was fine to release in the UK but somehow it had to be delayed here for some stupid ass video chat. Makes no damn sense.

And for those sitting there reading my stream of anger at this situation in the other thread as well as here, this is the ONE game I've been looking forward to since E3.

I'm also anxiously awaiting this release, and after doing some research I found out it's only available in the UK, and no one knows when or IF it will even be available here. I'm quite angry about it as well.

From what i read on the Euro blog a lot of the delays have to do with timing. If the game studio puts it in for clearance late it misses certain deadlines etc

That probably won't work unless you have a UK Singstar disc. I haven't personally tested Singstar, but game discs and DLC usually have to be from the same country or region. Unless you KNOW Singstar is the exception to the rule, don't waste $32 buying a UK PSN card for it.

it works ive done it before. Only reason I want to buy songs from the UK SingStore because American SingStore doesn't get Universal Music songs.

Singstar DLC is universal.

I want a psn card for Dark Mist + DLC for it and Outrun. Both are supposedly never to show up on the US store, sadly. I wish i could just use my credit card.

I actually tried to use my credit card to buy Hustle Kings the other day, and it said it wouldn't accept my card. Rather it said "credit card info not correct" or something like that.

So it wouldn't let me purchase it.

Incidentally though, today there was a $6.51 charge on my account regarding a Playstation Network transaction. Only problem I didn't MAKE a transaction that day. It showed the date being the same day I tried to buy Hustle Kings from the EU store.

Now in the past when entering my credit card info if I mistakenly enter the address or whatever for the billing, it'll say "credit card info wrong" or something along those lines, and it may debit 1.00 from the account (and then put it back in later) as if it's testing the account to see if it's good.

But this is the first time I've gotten debited the entire amount (for a game I didn't even get. lol).
