    PSN > PAL Vs US

    No for those who don't know, it is possible to sign up for the US PSN account just by creating a new user that is also a master but with a address that's in the US (or if you like Jap / Asia / China and the list goes on).

    The PSN US layout is so much better than the AUS version so I don't see why they have to be so different?

    Also would it make it illeagle saying you live in another country then buying stuff from the PSN US store? For example; if you live in Alaska they don't pay tax's like most of the other American states ... So if you said you lived in Alaska then purchased items from the PSN US, is there big trouble to be delt with?
    I have found that item's there are cheaper and espically when it comes to larger priced items such as GT5Prologue= US$39.99 < AU$59.95

    Thanks

    You need to have an American credit card to purchase anything off the US store

    not only that, most of the games don't work... can't remember the reason, talk to Rossman tho. If you wanna test it, just create an account and then download a few demos.

    Every demo I have downloaded from international PSN stores has worked?, unless you mean full games.

    Yeah same always downloaded demos and they work fine, SOny knows that poeple download from the US even tho they may not live there, I think there was an issue with Drakes:Uncharted Fortune, it was only out on the US psn store but wasnt working for people outside the US sony then fixed this so everyone was able to play it
