PillowGamer Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Hi there, Please let me know if you need pictures to understand what I'm talking about. Ok so. I want to stack the JP version of Bioshock 2. I was able to buy Bioshock without problems on a sale but when I try to buy Bioshock 2 it just takes me to where I need to enter my credit card number. I have more than enough money on my account to be able to buy the game. No I don't have PS+ on the account but that shouldn't matter. Why should it? Thank you for any insight.

Bioshock 2 is rated cero Z, which basically means you can NOT use psn credit to buy. Games with that rating require a purchase method that validates your age (like a credit card). sadly the solo stack for Bioshock 2, does not have a physical release. The physical Japanese Bioshock collection loads the global older list 😕 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a prepaid V-Preca card on PlayAsia is the way to go with this one. It'll cost you a bit more than PSN cards, though. https://www.play-asia.com/v-preca-3000-visa-gift-card-japan-account/13/70cvav People have reportedly managed to buy Z-rated games using this.

ResiGamer_28 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Are Play Asia effectively selling stolen Japanese accounts though? It's the Korean thing all over again. There was a website selling stolen Korean PSN accounts. How does the V Card thing work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way to get Cero Z games is buying physically, or make a Japanese friend. Luckily, I managed to find someone who could help me buy Cero Z's digitally, so that was nice. V-Preca was nice while it lasted. I just bought bioshock 2 , ive added it to my list as proof, need to get first a trophy so it updates here. Bioshock 2 remastered is a cero z. Bought the 1st bioshock aswell. And there is no way to get bioshock 2 remastered jp exept the store. The trophy list is not on disc. The jp one. Its on my account... A tip for you.. stop saying and misleading about stuff you dont know nothing about.... Edited October 23, 2023 by DividedByMankind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangeltw_ Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) I can confirm the mentioned prepaid card works. Just bought some Z games. Additionally, with the prepaid card in my jp account, I am now allowed to free upgrade some of the ps4 cero z disk games. Just some heads up. You might not get the valid date immediately. Contact the customer service of play Asia or go the the prepaid card website to check the information of your card. Huge thanks to @shipper321 for the information and @DividedByMankind for confirmation. Edited October 23, 2023 by archangeltw_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe don't ask others to test if you're going to be rude about it. 2 hours ago, archangeltw_ said: I can confirm the mentioned prepaid card works. Just bought some Z games.

Months ago, when I use preca, it would just give "this card is expired" error. Edit: I checked my chat logs with PlayAsia, back when I last bought a V-Preca card. Would seem the expired card issue was in September 2022. Didn't know it ever got fixed. Edited October 23, 2023 by ArmoredSnowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XEXU_DEMON_X10 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hello, if you buy a v preca, will I be able to buy zero z games or these days does the v preca no longer work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
