Playstation store question

[motorcity_madman]

Okay I would like to create a European account to access the Euro playstation store's better selection of PS1 classics.Does anyone know if those games only play on PAL tv's or will they work on the US tvs as well? Thanks

Unless you have a legitimate bank account with a credit card and a verified street address in the UK, OR at the minimum a verified name/street address there and a bunch of appropriate regional (UK) Sony Points Cards, you're not going to be able to make a Euro account.

Same for JAP, AU, or any other region.

It was easier to do in the early days of the PSN, but they've made it all but impossible, even online, legal, "virtual" UK/Euro credit card numbers won't work as they're not tied to legit street addresses.

Yo! I'm in sunny Wales and I would like to get access to the US store for, well, Castlevannia mostly but I'm sure that there must be other good things in there too.

Surely there must be something that we can do about this?

You could try this to make an account and then figure out a way to import the appropriate PSN Point Cards. That might work, but I know that Sony generally wants to avoid this practice, so don't be surprised if it's already been blocked.

I actually have a US and Japanese account, but as I lack the correct plastic I can't buy anything =(

Would the PAL PS1 games even work on a if you downloaded them thru PSN? I know ps3 is "region free" but my PAL ps1 games give me a region protection error when I try to play them on ps3.
