How to access UK, US, JAP Playstation Stores

If like me you've gotten a little tired of waiting for all the cool demos and trailers to hit the UK store, well here's how you can access the US, JAP stores just like you do with the UK.

It's actually really simple.

1. Create a new user account on your PS3 and log into it.
2. Register on the PSN network with your new user account (Note: You need to register a new Master Account for each region store).

Just enter the details as you did with the UK signup but this time with U.S details, just google a mcdonalds in texas to get a street name and corresponding zip code.

Once you've finished the signup process, login and access your chosen store

Its unknown whether ALL the demos will work, but im grabbing a load now so we'll see

Hint: Make sure you use a Hong Kong address, that way the menus will be in English

Works great, bear in mind you cant buy anything, but there's tons more movie trailers and playable demos.

Just about to play Full auto 2.

Give it a try.

You will need a new address, email and username because you're not supposed to make multiple accounts.

Because you're clueless? I've had my US and JP accounts since November and I recently added the EU account when you guys joined in.

It's already detailed in this very topic. The time it took you to type up and post your replies, you could've made a US account.

We are talking about the PS Store.

The servers depend on the region of your game.

You're a bit of a patronising cretin aren't you?

just a few little notes:
1. All demos and videos are free to download.
2. You cannot buy anything in any other country other than your own.
3. If you buy (Like I did) Sudoku (no jokes,j hear?) from your own country but you have the demo downloaded from another country, your downloaded content will not work until you delete the demo and download it again from your country. I think this will be the same for Lemmings and future games so just be aware
