My black friday vita from Amazon is here and it's amaaaazing , enjoying it immensely :)
I got Ragnarok odyssey , Mortal Kombat and Rayman.
on top of my list was Uncharted but I thought I would have it with the free PS Plus subscription. I tried to Redeem the codes but it tells me that I will have to provide info about visa card and billing address in U.S.A !!
Here is the problem I do not live in U,S and A :) so what can I do? is there a way to solve this or should I kiss the subscriptions goodbye? :cry:

thank you kids

I dont know if this helps (check if its illegal) but probably you can give the correct VISA card details and a ficticious address with a real post code in one of the countries listed..(Guess for payment reasons its more important that you pass the correct VISA details rather than an address)

However please do check before doing something like this since I dont want you to get in any trouble..

thanks for the advise , it seems the only thing I could try for now.
but I don't get why sony need to do this ........... not all gamers have credit cards and not all of them live in U.S.A. and REALLY why do they need a credit card? it's a freaking FREE subscription !! oh the frustration.

It's most likely for the auto-renewal feature.

That seems really odd. Are you sure didn't activate the subscription already? Maybe the credit card data was something that automatically pops up? Check in the PS+ section of the PS Store, and see if anything shows up as free... If that's true, it is really unfair.

this is the message that appears to me once I type the code : "A credit card is required to redeem your playstaion plus 30-days trial, but you will receive this trial without charge. unless you cancel your subscription at least one day prior to the end trial, your trial will automatically convert to a 3-month subscription, and $ 17.99 will automatically be deducted from your playstation wallet"

.............. well it seems I'm out of luck here :) I'll try couple of things in the next few days and if it doesn't work , I think I'll give'em to whoever can get their benefits.

thank you all.

I don't know if you know but once your PS+ subscription ends you can't play the games downloaded from it anymore.
