I entered the CC number, and after that, it asks to enter the address in Japan, but the problem is...I live in USA. How did you guys get this thing to work? Do I need to get a japanese credit card or something??

yeah, mine broke last week, called sony and they're sending me a new one for free. If the PS3 breaks, you have sony and they would definately help you.

what the...the title doesn't fit in what you are saying. This is more like a recruiting thing.

Just to tell you, it's not 10,000 yens(80$), it's 1000 yen($8) to play the online for TDR.

So, i need to back up my save memories for the games only, not for the whole system. How can I only back up the saves?

Today, I turned on my PS3 and It asked me to plug in the controller through the USB Cable (Which is odd, because whenI turn on my PS3, it goes straight to the XMB), after that, I had to put in the language, Date, etc. After that, I was gonna log on to my PSN account, and it says "Sign Up for Playstation@Network", Kinda wierd because, usually I set it to automatically Log in, and whenever I turn on my PS3, It logs in. So, I just logged onto my account by going through the Playstation@network. After I logged in, I rebooted up the PS3, and wow it asks me to plug in the controller though the USB Cable AGAIN, and when I looked over to the Friends bar, says "Sign up for Playstation@Network". It looks like the Playstation3 is screwed. Any help? Should I just set the whole PS3 to default?
