Default Creating US PlayStation Network account (HELP!!!) - 01-11-2011, 08:37 AM

Sup people

It's been a week or so since I bough a new PS3 from Japan and I decided to create PlayStation Network accounts for both Japan and US. Though, I live in Australia there is nothing here anyway so yeah...

Anyway, for Japanese, I was able to create one easily as I used my friend's address who lives in Japan and that is done.

However, for US, I don't have/know "valid" US address so its stopping me from creating US account -_-;; though I was able to find couple of US addresses I don't know if it's valid or not...
The question is, since I'll be buying stuff from US account via credit card or PlayStation Network card, do I need a "valid" address?? or can I just use one of those addresses that I found?

Moreover, and if possible, if you guys have/know any valid US address please tell me.

Thanks a lot guys

I just made an address up and made sure the zip code was correct. I don't think I'll be able to use a credit card with it (haven't tried) but I believe a US PlayStation Network card will work fine despite the false address. You will need to use a US PlayStation Network card to buy from the US store, the codes on the Australian cards will only work for the Australian store and the same will be the case for the Japanese store (which like the US account, I made one up).

you can't buy anything without a "USA Credit-card"

but you can use any address you want to create the PSN account

Oh I see... than Visa or MasterCard don't work as well?? if that's the case than the only way to buy from US store is buying PlayStation Network Card (US) right??

and for the address, I'll just use one that I found in the random site

Anyway, tnx a lot guys really appreciate it...

Yes, since the address on your PlayStation Network account and credit card won't match. I have read a few cases of foreign cards working but I don't think its the general case.
