Hi,
I have a ps3 with a UK account, but I'm based in NZ. I'm thinking of buying a playstation plus subscription, but will need to set up a NZ account to pay for it.
Will the content be available on the UK account?
If I return to the UK and later buy a subscription with my UK account, will I lose the content tied to the NZ account when that expires?
If so, is there any way to transfer it to my UK account?
Cheers.

All PS+ content Is tied to the PSN ID that pays for it. it is non transferable.
If you pay for a game item then its yours for a life time rental.
If the game/software is completely free in the PS+ section You have only rented it for the time of your subscription lasts.
All other Free content, (Except games and software apps) are free life time rentals they stay active on your account even after the sub expires.
If you are not going to be a resident in NZ for ever, there is Zero Point Buying PS+ on a NZ account.
You are going to have to deside Where your Primary living location is going to be for good. Stick with an PSN account from that location.... You will then use that account for buying PS+ and will stick with it till you get bored of PSN.
Why would any one would want to come back to this over populated dump (60M+) when they have escaped to a country with such a low population count (only just over 4M+)
PSN vouchers Exist online and in local UK shops.
I'm quite sure that you must know at least one person alive back here in the UK who could walk into a games shop and buy £40 in PSN vouchers and then email you the codes. You then post them a Check or IOU. There are web sites that do the same but you will be paying a middle man to do what a friend could.
You then top up your UK account with the voucher codes to Buy content on PSN Store.
You do this each time you need more funds for PSN content.

NZ comes under EU region so any plus content should be the same.
If you sign up before wednesday then you won't miss out when they change 2 of the games over.

Hey, thanks both for the info. I think I'll contact someone in the UK to get the subscription for me.
Cheers.
