Parker Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 As the title states, I'm trying to get an EU PSN card so I can buy a game off the PS Store. Anyone know of a way to do that, or a website that will take an American debit card and send me a code thru E-Mail? I wish System 3 would just release Ferrari: The Race Experience on the American PS Store, it doesn't seem like it would be that much of a hassle. Thanks, Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mio Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You could ask someone trustworthy in the EU region to buy you one if you bank transfer the money into their account. And then get them to send you the code. If You are unsure you could get a 3rd party to overlook the transaction to make sure nothing happens. (i.e user 1 (you) asks user 2 (lives in EU region) to get them a psn card from their region and send them the code. user 3 overlooks the transaction as a 3rd party so that both partys can have a fair say if something goes wrong.)

And I dont know, but does EU Amazon have codes? You might be able to check there, or from ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 European or UK? You can get a UK one digitally delivered instantly, so there's no shipping fees or anything, from http://shopto.net which is a rather marvellous site. It also ships games and stuff to the US.

Parker Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've tried using shopto.net but it won't let me enter my Credit Card information. I'll try again and see if it works. Thank guys, Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagflar Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Have you tried creating an account in Amazon's European branch and linking your card from the US there? I'm not sure if it works, but if it does, you can buy PSN cards and have the code given to you if I'm correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mail you a case with the card inside. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Keyser Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Seriously man, ebay is the way to go. If you're worrying about paying a couple of dollars more than it's actual worth, well, you're going to have to go to a lot more trouble getting one through various other methods. I'm an Aussie who buys US PSN cards all the time, and because our dollar is strong at the moment in comparision, I usually only pay a $53 for a $50 US card... which is great mathematics because their store prices are usually $5-$10 cheaper per game than ours. The only things I don't buy from there are if I have the Aussie retail game, the DLC won't work from the US store. But even that isn't so much because I usually import a lot of games anyway.

When you buy your cards from eBay, do they send you a card or give you the code digitally? I really don't want to wait for a card to show up at my door, but if they do it digitally it may be a different story. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker They send you an email with the code of the card, so you just enter that code into the Redeem Code section of the store. If you get a good seller they'll usually send that through within a few hours of purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on here would probably do fairer exchanges, given that many of us are already friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can vouch for Pie's trustworthiness. European or UK?

On a related note, I didn't know this. That's good to know if I ever decide to get an EU account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awww, thanks. Also, yeah, I think Amazon.com is the best place for US ones, and ShopTo.net is the best place for UK ones, and (whilst they're still pretty heavily marked up) Play-Asia is the best place for JP ones, so there's somewhere you can get a code from all regions hassle-free.
