» Stupid Question time.
I have a European PS3, is it possible to register for US and Japanese PSN accounts? If so, how?

» Foreign accounts
Make sure you have alternate email addresses, and supply the PSN registering procedure with addresses in each of the other countries.
(american or canadian address for the US account, and another one in Asia for the Japanese account).
Pay attention though:
1) Your european VISA card cannot be used for transactions in those accounts
2) There is no guarantee that Sony will let people keep on doing this forever. So, if you do charge an american wallet for example, Sony may at any time close your fake US account and keep your money.

» Changing address
The home address cannot be changed once registered.
You can, however, create additional users on your PS3, and register those differentely under PSN.
Note: DO NOT activate your PS3 under those accounts, only under the main, true account.

Of course $ony will keep letting people set up multiple accounts in multiple regions. That will help make it seem like there are more registered users on PSN and make it seem like it's catching up to XBOX live.
IT'S NOT. NOT EVEN CLOSE. NOT EVEN WHEN FREE.

You missed the point of the post. By the way you are a hater right? WHat reason do have have to post other than troll. Go get a life. THere are not as many ps3's out as 360's so they can't catch up until the sales rise. What Sony is trying to show is that people are signing up. IF you weren't a complete dumba$$ yopu would have said something like "those are multiple accounts on the same ps3." (me and my daughter have our own logins) or "Of course there are a lot of sign-ins, the ps3 does it automaticlly." but you are too stupid, thus the choice of buying an xbox 360. Now shut the hell up. Thanks.

6 million XBOX live paid subscriptions out of 10 million consoles, 60% of 360 owners online. 600,000-1,600,000 FREE PSN accounts out of 3 million consoles, 53-20% on PSN. PSN numbers are obviously inflated. There's only 2 games to play but at least they're free, right?
Sometimes it's better to not respond than respond with a long post that means nothing.

The 6 Milion Xbox live accounts include both gold AND silver memberships. Not all 6 million are paid accounts. And of course the Xbox has more. They have had over 18 months to join while the PS3 has had only 6 months. And right now, the PSN is not available to all regions. And no, there are much more than only 2 games that are online....

When you can set up multiple accounts on one console, does a number like that mean anything?
Everyone knows you can sign up for multiple accounts (even says how to here.) That just leaves people to wonder how many memberships are for the same console. Since one console cannot play multiple games online and could have only one user, if that console has accounts set up in 3 regions, the 1.5 million number is very misleading. PS3 sales have not gone up (have actually gone down significantly), game releases are not up. This number is clearly bogus. The only 2 decent online games are still resistance and motorstorm.
The PSN is trailing waaayyy behind live and even exaggerated PSN membership numbers aren't impressive.

Great to see online gaming doing so well, hopefully the Wii can pickup it's act. For those 2 million PS3 owners and 4 million 360 owners that aren't connected, PLUG IN YOUR ETHERNET CABLE NOW! Your missing out big time. You bought a next-gen console why not use it to it's fullest. Humans are more fun to play against then computers, trust me on this one.

Hi Hellraiser,
Your argument " When you can set up multiple accounts on one console, does a number like that mean anything?" applies equally well to XBox Live as well. So should XBox Live account figures matter, then, or are they just as much of a fallacy as the PSN figures?
Oh, and before you dismiss me as a PS3 fanboy, let me inform you that I have both XBox 360 (purchased Mar 2006) and PS3 (purchased Feb 2007). If you want to verify, my Live account ID is "Man The King".

MTK

» Why hate?
Questions: Why do so many people hate the PS3?
Answer: Because they know by next year it will own the 360 and weeee. Everyone keeps saying it has no decent library, the online is inferior to live, and it just sucks.
Well I say give it time. The X Box has a large library yeah, but no variety, what doe it have really? A bunch of shooters, Halo and Gears. Out of the games Halo is the one worth getting. The PS3 has a bunch of games lined up to come out this year. And it has variety, it has shooters, plus every other genre of games to choose from. Ps3 can also support a hell of a lot more people online, unlike the sex box, and at no cost.
And what makes this even funnier is that yes the PS3 is not selling as much as the 360 and Weee (for now), but they are both being out sold by the PS2. It's funny as hell that 1 console from last the gen is out doing and out matching the current gen, and it doesn't even have an online community like these.

Got my PS3 FREE with a mobile fone deal, I had 2 pay £180 for the fone (Sony Ericsson W810i best fone of last year)
Also got an amazing 32" HDTV from Evesham for £449 (1 of the best I've seen) so th@'s £630 oh & Oblivion off Amazon with free HDMI cable so another £40.
So if u need a new fone contract like I did then less than £700 a new fone, PS3 with game & lead & HDTV is hard 2 beat.
Not trying 2 sound smug (tho feel it a li'l bit) but if this helps people get a PS3 then they should do it.
