Technical Help

[Richard_Croft]

Hi everyone! I have a problem with my PSN account. I created my PSN Online ID when I was in Greece and now I live in Melbourne. I want to purchase a PlayStation Network card that is registered to Greece and put funds to my wallet in my PSN account to make some purchases from PlayStation Store. I already contact Sony at Greece but they didn't help me much as they said to create a new PSN account and select  Australia as my country. I'm not going to do that because I've already earned so many trophies and made so many purchases from the PlayStation Store. And why do I need to create a new PSN account after all? If I was able to create a new PSN account using my current Online ID Richard_Croft again and if I haven't earned so many trophies and made so many purchases from the PlayStation Store I would have create a new PSN account but at the moment there is no way I creating a new PSN account. I've search on ebay and on Amazon to find PlayStation Network Cards from Greece but it seems that there aren't any. It's also difficult for me to have a relative or a friend of mine from Greece to buy me a PlayStation Network card from there and tell me the code. What can I do? What if I get a Visa, Mater Card or American Express credit card from a bank here in Australia to add funds in my PSN account wallet? I know for sure that there is a solution but I don't know how. If anyone can help me please answer! Thank you!

Unfortunately PSN cards are locked to their region of purchase. Mainly due to the differences in currency, ie pounds, euros, yen, USD, AUD, NZD. There are other factors to this as well tho

Each currency is unique therfore unable to be transfered or shared.

The only thing that could be done in this situation would be:

1) have a family member or friend buy you a PSN card from Greece.

2) Have a family member give you their CC details so you can add the price to your wallet then delete the card details & pay them back. (With their consent obviously)

3) Create an AU PlayStation Network Account and start again

(Note: If you have game Discs from Greece that have an online pass or have DLC, NEITHER of these will work with the AU Content )

eg:  Au Disc - AU Content Works
       AU Disc - Greece Content will NOT work
        Greece Disc - Greece content works
         Greece Disc - AU Content - will NOT work


Hope this clears the available options up
