I plan on buying a PS Vita, but I've noticed there's a few games that are only available on NA PSN. I already have a PAL account, but is there any way of getting these games? Why they don't have these games in both formats is frustrating. Anyway, is it complicated to get an overseas account?

We have 1 US, 1 UK, and 2 TR accounts on our PS3. No problem whatsoever creating them. But once I tried and failed to purchase Infamous: Festival of Blood on the US PlayStation Store. It's problematic. I guess, if that was not an issue, everyone would buy games with an US account, because the games are generally cheaper there.

I posted this in another thread, but curious if either of you could advise.

Just got a PS4 two weeks ago, my free PS+ trial is about over. What's the best way (deal/value) to subscribe to PS+? I know it's only $50 for the year (in U.S.), but was wondering if there were some little-known avenues or orgs. to get a suibuscription for cheaper.

the only complication one can get from a us psn account is the payment part, since the us psn only accepts us credit cards or us paypal accounts... one can get around this issue by buying online (instantly delivered) us psn gift cards, there are various websites that sell them but i have been using maximus cards without any problems, well the only problem is that the gift cards cost more than their worth (you have to pay about 59 usd for a 50 usd gift card)...

the games and the psn plus subscription are cheaper than the turkish psn store and the games are released on tuesdays instead of wednesdays, i know it's nothing but i guess i am anxious to get my (virtual) hands on games...

ps: one does also need to come up with a valid address for creating an account... :)

@shellcase86: Check on Amazon, NewEgg sometimes they have sales on on PSN Plus subscriptions. The best way to go is buy a subscription near Black Friday/Cyber Monday they have great deals.

I got a $29.99 yearly membership of PSN on Black Friday last year.
