PSN Point Card, HELP!

[Quiet Stranger]

I bought a PSN card in the USA and now I'm back home in Canada and I go to put the code in saying that it isn't working or is no longer valid. Why is this happening? I'm not sure if it was activated (not that I COULD get it activated now) does anyone know what I can do to get this figured out?

You'll have to make an American account so you can use it. It won't work in Canada.

So I guess I'll just have to call Sony and get them to fix this? I've never even heard of that until I started reading up on help forums

I think it's also on the back of the card. In the legalese section.

yeah well I don't really read the small print (who does) especially when I'm in a rush

If you have a Canadian account (i.e. the address of your account is in Canada) you'll need to get a Canadian PSN card, the US ones only work on US accounts.
Sorry buddy, wasted a bit of cash there :/

Not really. Just make a US PSN account, buy whatever you wanted off there. Problem solved.

Well...yeah. There's THAT.
Just make sure you get a real US address.

I live in the Caribbean and the PSN doesn't even have my country on their list...I think the address registered to my PSN is a strip club in Texas.


I'm not even kidding.

Region locking is a *****....
Sorry man, buy a card in the region. I doubt you could call Customer Support either

Holy crap that's awesome. Thank you sir for making me spit up my roasted chicken.

It was probably poisoned anyway. Trust me.
I'D KNOW.

And just wondering but how did you come up with the idea to use a address for a strip club in Texas of all things?

Because...what are the chances of someone using that address for THEIR PS3?
Also because I found it amusing.

Yeah I work nights as well. Mon - Thur 6 PM - 6 AM PST. Since there's NOTHING open around here at night I have to bring my own lunches... which happen to be what I cooked for dinner.

Yeaaah same here. Well 10-6am. And 5 days a week (though the shift hours change every week).
Speaking of that I SHOULD have a sandwich....... *rummages*
