Ive heard you can start an account on your PS3 in other countries to view their playstation store and buy things from their shop that arn't available in the PAL region, is this true and if so how is it done, i can't work it out. thanks

On the far left of XMB choose new user.  In Account Sign Up choose Hong Kong as your country (you can choose English if you choose Hong Kong).  As far as address goes I just said 123 Main St.  Choose User Name and away you go.  I also set up a European account by choosing London as my address.  Pretty easy.  Takes minutes.

As far as Resistance goes you cannot. I wanted to play on the European servers so setup a european account with an actual address and the whole thing - jumped on and heard a good ole Texas boy right of the bat......had to ask and yes he was sitting in Texas so gave up on that attempt. With that said per people on the forum they are going to open up Resistance to worldwide play, but not sure when that will happen.

Interesting didn't know that. Is there a list of what items you get of the different sites?
