pc version imo is better
lapaq said is correct. With COD still around and HAZE,UT3 all coming out. Its really a question whether TF2 can last or not.

Hello every one. Im new with PS3 and i was wondering how everyone plays online? Do you join the US servers or what? I own a HK Version PS3. I am still currently trying to figure out how to buy items from the PSN Store. I would like to browse for the information in the thread but i have clicked through tens of pages and i couldnt find the information. Sorry for the noob questions.

Thank you in advance.

lol, it's more a matter if OUR attention span can last or not!

EDIT:


hey fellow ps3-er,
lol, you need to be more specific when you ask how you can play online. basically if a game supports online then you just select the online option and then you should be able to automatically join a server. what games do you have? the servers these days are worldwide
And you need to add credit into your Wallet in the PSN store before you can buy anything. Usually with a credit card. All this configured when you select your Account icon info on the PSN XMB section.
I'm sure some other senior ps3 gurus can explain more if this is not sufficient.

rx, debbie does dallas again nak jual tak?

Umm i think we can only get stuff from US psn?Thats the only psn that accepts our credit cards i think Or u can get prepaid cards to buy stuff from psn I think bernard or sum1 might be selling them

I have used my credit cards for both Asia and US PSN. Also successfully registered my billing addres for EU, but have not made any purchase yet. Will let everyone know when I do. Or has someone purchased something from EU already?

O wow i didnt know asia psn accepts our CC...I never checked this thread for months ... Thats cool

Does the US store accept Visa? I want to get Everyday Shooter. I am planning to buy Orange Box just for TF2 . So i need to make sure that i can play online before i invest.

PSN is free of charge so you should be able to play online without any problems.

Hmm not sure about Visa.. think it was Amex and Mastercard? you'll have to check i'm afraid!
and yes,echoing zio, to play online is free of charge!

Although I think some games are region locked based on servers. Correct me if I am wrong though.

So not too sure if The Orange Box will go for that route. Last I heard, Motostorm Asian cant play with Motostorm US?

Before I say this. Let me clear this out first. What I am goin to state below is a summary of infos I found myself as well as from fellow LYN forumers. If anyone is trying to quote me on this, either you be constructive and correct me properly or just keep it to yourself. Thanx. Abit lazy to layan some outspoken member at the moment.

Well from my own view (don't take what I say word by word)

For US PSN, it's best to use the AMBank NextG card. I am not sure bout normal credit card. From all the infos I gathered and from my own past experience, it's best to use that. But someone needs to confirm that it still work as of this moment. And yes, I know some normal credit card could work, BUT for me, the NextG card is much better in terms of accessibility. Again this is what I feel. If there are people who feel otherwise, that is your business.

There is another card similiar to AMBank's NextG. It's EON Bank's MOL Freedom Mastercard. I am not sure if this works though. Did not check about it.

Yeah, that works.

But we got other choices. My Maybank Amex (the credit card, not the debit card) also works fine. Already got the billing in my latest statement. Tested and proven.

Just find an appropriate address for each region and put it as billing address at PSN.

Cards that work for US PSN:

Gift/Debit/Prepaid card
AmBank NextG - could not be used. Confirmed by snipersnake.
EON Bank MOL Freedom MasterCard

Credit Card
Maybank Amex - auto-populate billing address could be used. Confirmed by aiman04.


Anyone have the VISA SonyCard? Maybe that is the best card to ensure we could purchase from all the PSN stores around the world?

We should make that a sticky, or maybe added to the FAQ forum. Actually my Maybank Amex also work for PSN Asia.

Haha yeah, but we will need people to be really free to tell us about their purchase experience. Such as, what card from what bank and what billing address was used, auto-populate/semi auto-populated with manual key in/manual key in. Lol.

Lol I won't want to ask people to share their experience though. Some people are gonna say, go try yourself. Lol if I have the time I will look from my old post and try to compile everything myself or you want to have the honours aiman?

lol

aiman tak kisah... but cannot la, just got my PS3 a month ago, someone with more experience should do it.

My experience, I put real address. Like for my UK account, I put my company's branch address in UK, a hotel address in Houston for US, and some address I found in Singapore for Asia.
