Is there any way to get items (purchased ones) from say the U.S. based PSN store? They have so much more stuff than us and some of it I want.

I've created a 2nd account to access it but it seems unless you have a US registered street address for the credit card you can't buy anything. Does anyone know someway around that at all?

atm there is no way around this. but sony is bring out psn credit cards (like the itune ones), they current only sell them in japan, but once they released them worldwide, you should be able to buy them from like ebay or similar online places, and used that to purchased the context

Well thats just dumb then. Since its basically just a web link it makes NO SENSE why we don't have the same shite as the US stores. Infact all stores should be the same. Apparently GT5 prologue is now available on the HK store or something. Don't know if it's an english version however.

Oh wells, guess its time to call the Canadian Mother-in-Law and get her credit card details so I can get what I want. :)

ARGH DON'T SAY THERE IS NO CURRENT WAY TO PURCHASE FROM THE US STORE!!

I will let you know how to do it right now. It is the same method I use. After you have set up a US account and you try adding your credit card details you run into the problem of your credit card address not matching your address on your US account. So how do I get around this whole "checking the mail address on the credit card" thing, Well it is rather simple. Head down to your local Westpac bank walk upto the counter and say "I would like to purchase a Mastercard Gift Card Please". Put whatever amount of money you want on this gift card and use the Mastercard Gift Card to as your credit card on the US Store. There is a $4.95 setup on the gift card so I would recommand putting $100 on the card just so it lasts you a little while. Being a Gift Card Credit Card there is no address on the card for the store to have to confirm and therefor you are set.

Here is a link to the Mastercard Gift Card on the westpac website. http://www.westpac.com.au/internet/publish...c%20gift%20card

this may be old news but we've been using US PSN cards from gaminglue.com for all our us downloads.

Yeah old post but another way to do it (as per the whirlpool forums) is create a new user account on your PS3 using the American PSN store with an American address (use US white pages) or make a fake one.

Create an Entropay account (google entropay) using the same fake American address but use your real address and credit card number.

Add funds to your entropay account (virtual visa card) and then purchase on the US PSN account using the entropay visa card.

yeah use ENTROPAY thats how i got my dlc for rockband.

As did I (thank god it is all still compatible with Rockband 2), until late last year.

Doesn't really matter as all DLC for Rockband & GH:WT is available in Aus about 2 days after it is available in the US.

Just wondering if anyone here is able to buy stuff from the US store currently.

It has been a while so I figure that someone may have found a way to do it?

(stupid Aus DLC does not work with US games and vice versa)

And before someone screams Entropay. It does not work.

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By Borci88 · Posted

      Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
