Waffle-Sensei Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm the same way. I even considered making a new account once too, but I didn't in the end. This post is funny to look at now that I actually did make a new account. Anyway, I have three now. My old one (which I guess I'll use for trying out games now?), this one, and a Japanese PSN for demos and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) And where is the best to get US pre-paid cards ? I'd heard you need a shipping address in that geo to get them but maybe there are ways around that. Nope, no need for that. Sure, you need a valid address to actually create the account but you can use random address you can find on Google. I'm buying from pcgamesupply.

Thank you Satoshi Ookami you have been extremely helpful. Account setup and tested it out and it works perfectly. I also purchased from pcgamesupply and was easy and simple.

SnowxSakura Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 2 accounts, my main one and a jp one to redeem codes on when I import a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis-nine-five Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I have 3 accounts only because of boosting: Professor Portal (Portal 2) and King of the Hill (NfS: Shift 2). Maybe I use one for little Speedruns later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 2. My own, and my wife's. She doesn't care about trophies, but she likes to play couch co-op a bit. So, I use her account to self-boost, or try out new games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasondm300 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I have 2. My main one that I play everything on and my UK one for my euro purchases. I may make a actuall account for Euro to see what the difference in exchange and see if it is cheaper to buy with EUR instead of GBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyDavidson Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I got 2. 1 main/US and a UK acc because US didn't get the KZ 2 demo free waaay back when, only after the game was out or with preorder. Now I use my 2nd acc to self boost some trophies if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfBambam55 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 And where is the best to get US pre-paid cards ? I'd heard you need a shipping address in that geo to get them but maybe there are ways around that.i would recommend something like the play-asia.com website...i used them often while i was in japan for both importing us games and getting various countries' digital psn cards...excellent service...not sure if there are better, cheaper sites out there or not and i haven't used them in a while since i moved back to canada a year ago now...you can buy digital codes online so no need to have the physical card...you pay, you get the code minutes later...you will need a credit card...adress not important... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han_the_Dragon Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think that I "have" 6-7 accounts in total.. This one (Portuguese account), that's my main and usually the only account that I use, an US alt account to have access to the US store, 1 UK account because back then some DLC for games that I owned weren't available in the Portuguese store, 1 Asia account (mainly for Tekken Revelations and Soul Calibur Lost Swords), a JP account (mainly for demos and F2P..) and 2-3 other alt accounts that I believe that are Portuguese (accounts made specifically to boost King of the Hill of NFS Shift 2..) I probably lost the passwords of some of those accounts, since as I said I rarely use any account outside of my main and when I need to test games I usually use my US alt, all other accounts are probably inactive for months or years..

Makilio Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 2, this one and an unused one for HK that I made to get Raspberyl for free on Disgaea D2 since they were having a promotion or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentScrub Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have 3. This, my main one that I use to play everything. A US account I created to buy Parasite Eve from the PS store. The third is only used whenever relatives / friends come over and their kids wanna play on the PS3 or 4...that way I don't have to worry about them interfering with my game progress on my account.

electoblaze Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Only 1! I am the OG electoblaze! But to be fair, I came from Xbox 360 where I changed my gamertag twice and had 2 different accounts total. When I came to Playstation in 2013, I had a much clearer vision of what I was looking for.

AbleArcher97 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Before reading this thread I didn't understand why anyone would want more than one. Now, however, I'm thinking I might create some foreign accounts to shop in other regions PSN stores. Can someone tell me how the store regions are divided up, exactly? Does North America have one PSN store, or do the US and Canada have separate stores? Edited September 12, 2016 by PantherPilot97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asvinia Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 About 5, I enjoy that feeling of 'fresh'. Although I'm fed up replaying games now so I doubt I'll make another after this. One of my old ones I use for testing games on and the others are all inactive. I intend to make a US account when I get around to it, since there's a game I want that's exclusive to the US PSN store.

Does North America have one PSN store, or do the US and Canada have separate stores? Japan - Japan only EU - divided into UK and remaining countries (some countries have shared stores) North America - this is pretty much global for complete America continent Asia - I'm not sure about this one, but I believe Korea has standalone like Japan and the rest is under Asian store where you can create Hong Kong account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Joker88 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 4- Australia, US, HK & Germany.... will get around to creating a Japanese one day Why would anyone bother a german acc?

DamageDKami Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Right now I only have this one account from when I first bought my PS3. Never had a reason to make a new one or second account, but lately I am pondering about making a second account... I work as a teacher at a high school and in the Dutch education system you're also 'mentor' of one of the groups you teach and this year my group has a lot of gamers in it. I might do something like a tournament in my class at one point this year to reward them if they work hard. I don't want them to know my PSN though, not interested in playing with my students, so I might make a second account for that if I can get it planned and working.
