How to get games on the Turkish Store ! (Really cheap) [DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE, SORRY]

[AntoninZeKing]

[DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE, SORRY]

 

Hi guys, I don't know if a lot of people know that, but it's pretty easy to buy game on the Turkish store.

 

Why the Turkish store ?

Because it's clearly the cheapest store from far ! (you can use psn4 to compare the price of the games)

 

The only problem with the Turkish store is that you need a credit card to buy game. But that's not a problem with the app ''Revolut''. It's a bank that's can only be accessed with your smartphone, that's pretty easy to use. All you have to do is to download the app, create an account, create a virtual credit card (it's totally free) and add money to your account. Obviously € or $ or any other money supported by the app. Then you can convert your money to ''turkish lira''. You can convert up to 5000€ per month for free, past this amount of money, you will have 1,5% of fee. 

 

Now that you have Turkish Lira on your revolut account, you can go to your playstation, create a Turkish account (everything is in english !!!) and add your Revolut virtual card on the ps store. Now you can buy all games that you want for a more reasonnable price !

 

+ Damn, the new Spongebob games is at 159TL on the Turkish store (~20,56€)

 

++ : EU games, you can buy season pass on your turkish account and play them on your other account (at least, I'm 100% sure for the cod series, because I own BO3 and WWII season pass)

 

I made a video about this, the only problem, it's in french, so i link the video if some french peoples are here.

Having checked prices for a couple of games, this actually looks quite worth the trouble to get games (or at least their EU versions). Tres cool, copain. Not sure if I trust Revolut right off the bat, so keen to hear from others about their experiences with it.

[AntoninZeKing]

Personally, I have only used Revolut for this for 1 month, for the moment I have no problem

[AntoninZeKing]

The turkish store didn't have the same deals as the US Store btw !

But it's the same deals (or almost the same deals) as the european countries

People in Turkey are already having difficult times with buying games no thanks to devaluation on Turkish Lira, and threads like that only going to make Sony revise the prices which means they will even harder time to buy games. Good job with being cheap, just because you're going to save a couple euro is going to make so much changes for other people. Egoism on top spot.

After 36 hours, this thread has accumulated just over 200 views and yielded four replies; two by OP, one by me (well, two now), and one by you. I haven't bought anything from the store, and I assume you haven't either (and if you have - noting the etymology of your name - it certainly wasn't as a result of this thread).

 

With that in mind, explain to me how this thread will meaningfully contribute to Sony bumping up the prices? Even if all 200 of those views translate into new accounts buying games in the Turkish store, it will be a drop in the ocean when added to however many PS platform owners exist among the 80+ million people living in Turkey (plus the countless members of the diaspora, who no doubt will have a fair few Turkish accounts too).

 

Maybe the answer to the problems facing the Turkish economy and population lies a little closer to home, or maybe not - but I certainly wouldn't blame a random internet forum user who has taken the time and effort to inform members of his community, and in doing so espouses the exact opposite virtue to the 'egoism' you are ascribing to him.

Buying 3 games with a turkish account will immediately indebted a country and create civil war... I'm very sorry, I didn't think about that.

Very doubtful Turkey will suffer from a PSNProfile forum post. You're probably been a tiny bit dramatic.

[seyhano]

As we are Turkish, we are not happy with the prices because of the currrency fluctuations and high prices in TR store, Below the PS Turkish pages, all players are complaining the prices to PS.

 

Even some games have much more price than North America, UK and many other countries.

However, when you compare the discounts on some games, surely Turkish store will be the cheapest.

Be careful about the region diffences while you are buying DLCs.

My PSN is USA the EU ones are the copies l get from where l live ( Ireland ) so l haven't bought anything either. Back to your question, 2 years ago new AAA exclusive games were out for 204 Turkish Lira ( God of War ) now, The Last of Us II is 500 Turkish Lira. 250% increase of the price. These people in Turkey did not have that differences on their salaries though. Do you know why PS Store bumped up the price? Because that information what the OP gave was revealed on Reddit and so many people attacked the store like cats on a fish market. Eventually, Sony realized that and bumped up the price. Some people were doing that for Indian or Indonesian store and now Turkish store is on target. It is utterly egoism because the more this keeps happening the more prices will be even fucked up. There is a reason for " regional price tags " you know that right? Just because you're going to save a pint or a ice latte from Starbucks, is ending up effecting so many people which makes that move utterly selfish in my opinion.
PS: total population is 80million but how many of them you think have Turkish psn? with the pace of internet, it's up to your calculation and imagination if it'd make a difference or not.

Anyone knows if the Modern Warfare 3 dlc in turkish store works with EU disc? I had the collections back in the day with elite of cod but I was not into trophies a lot and now years later I can't access to them, and cost 14,05€ each, 8,25€ in the turkish store...

[seyhano]

For your information and comparing, I am writing some popular games ( North America & Turkey )

 

Last of Us Part 2 Deluxe Edition : 69,99 $ (NA) - 569 TL (83 $) (TR)

Fifa 21 Standard Edition 59,99 $ (NA) - 499,90 TL ( 73 $) (TR)

Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate Edition : 99,99 $ (NA) - 669 TL ( 98,58 $) (TR)

Ghost of Tsushima Digital Deluxe : 69,99 $ (NA) - 489 TL ( 71,32 $) (TR)

Turkish PSN is region 2 like EU disc. It doesn't matter if you buy from Spain, Turkey, Germany, Ireland as long  as you have a compatible disc which means region 2.

Oh God. Is it a trend to be overdramatic, melodramatic, oversensitive and drag people down for no reason nowadays?

Yes, yes unfortunately it is.

Because the AK party's economic policy isn't working quite as well as Erdogan intended. Can't be the tourist industry tanking because people are wising up and realizing that Antalya et al. aren't worth visiting when there's countless better places along the Mediterranean and Adriatic, as the visitor number actually seem to be increasing. I'd personally recommend Mauritius even if it's a bit further afield; much better than Ankara and a few other cities I was forced to spend time in.

Do you have any hard data on how many players dove onto the Turkish store? All the threads I can find on Reddit are rather small with but a handful of replies between them, so I really doubt this exposure made a significant difference. Sony 'realizing this' is an assumption on your part, price hikes are part and parcel of the PSN store regardless of region and could be attributed to a regional quirk (one of the Reddit threads I ran into noted that the Turkish store closed off the Deals section when COVID-19 kicked into gear while others remained open); not saying that's the reason, but I can't discount the possibility on the face of it.

 

Besides that, equating buying from the Turkish PSN store because it is cheaper than other regions to egoism is a huge stretch; at the risk of going into false equivalency territory, would I be egotistical for buying milk from the Lidl in the next town over because the milk in my town's Aldi is more expensive?

I'm insulted that you think I'm some soy-sucking Starbucks simp, and astonished that you believe that being a savvy shopper and buying a handful of games from the store will have a knock-on effect that negatively effects 'so many people' when you don't have any numbers and circumstantial evidence at best to back up your claims. I suspect the same problem will arise once you try to explain the existence of regional pricetags.

 

And yes, I did list the total population, but with the words 'however many PS platform owners exist among the[m]'. No need to regurgitate that point and phrase it worse than I did. 'Course there's a difference! I added the total population to give other posters an indication of the scale we're dealing with here, not everyone readily knows the population of a given country (I'm actually proud I got so close to the msot recent numbers I see listed online).

Your 'explanation' is based on shaky claims at best and is more of an appeal to emotion (oh noes the people have to pay more!) than anything involving reason. Deeming a forum post with 200 views a noteworthy contribution to Store prices being raised is nothing short of dramatic. The real tragedy is that you've added fuel to the fire to the point where the initial pageviews have now more than doubled. Still not enough to affect Sony pricing policy, mind!

I've read it. I still think you're going over the top a bit. Your first post actually brought more attention to this thread, so more people have read the OP. So by your logic, you have brought harm upon poor Turkish people. 

 

So yeah, I still think you're been dramatic.

Turkish PSN card doesn't exist ? (to avoid to use Revolut ... ) ?

 

If not, is it possible to put money on Revolut using Paypal ?

...How 1 man over threw the Turkish goverment!

thats 2020 for ya!

Can someone explain how this is cheaper or who it is cheaper for? The cheapest I've been able to find a brand new AAA game on the Turkish PSN store is 459 TL (equivalent to $66.96 USD), whereas brand new AAA games cost $59.99 USD on the US store.

 

So if the Turkish price is cheaper for you, why not just get a US account (which does not require a credit card or Revolut) and get it *even cheaper*?

First random game I could think of is American Fugitive as shown below, and plenty of other titles have Turkey listed as the cheapest region too. If you can look past AAA titles (which are too expensive no matter where you shop), you can get some real good deals here, I find. Sure, maybe only a few Dollars per game, but those add up if you dedicate yourself to grabbing every game you buy from Turkey.

 

Some other games I've looked at are the newly released SW Episode 1 Racer (almost 5 USD cheaper in Turkey than elsewhere), Yakuza 0 (2.5 USD cheaper than the next cheapest region, Russia), Corpse Party Blood Drive (7 USD cheaper), and Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash (over 6 USD cheaper than the alternative). For these five games together, buying via Turkey is over 23 USD cheaper than from any other PSN store listed on PSN4. That's nothing to scoff at;

Only some dlcs can be cheaper in a while.

Games are almost equal or more expensive now when you compare with other stores. 

it was cheaper in old times...

I don't buy brand new AAA Games, take games like The Binding of Isaac, The End is Nigh, Super Meat Boy, Cook Serve Delicious, and many other, they are all cheaper on the turkish store (use psn4 to compare)

 

Almost every non-AAA games are cheaper on Turkish store, I'm 100% sure. Russia, South Africa, India, Brazil and Indonesia have good prices too btw.

 

And some AAA Games are cheaper on the turkish store.

 

Saints Row The Thirs Remastered (179TL ~26,11$) vs 39,99$

Minecraft Dungeons Hero Edtion (139TL ~20,27$) vs 29,99$

The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor (300TL ~43,76$) vs 59,99$

SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated (159TL ~23,19$) vs 29,99$

Desperados III (299TL ~43,61$) vs 59,99$

Rocket League (89TL ~12,98$) vs 19,99$

Playstation Hits Games (84TL ~12,25$) vs 19,99$

 

I have many many many more...

Same for DLC's

Nope, you can't use paypal with Revolut.

 

You can make a Brazilian account and buy psn card for it, it can be cheaper for some games. It could be better if brazilian psn cards wasn't that expensive :/

[Silver-I-Chariot]

Started doing it a while ago, works like a charm. Definitely worth it as even some new games such as FF7 remake cost about 40 bucks. Doesn't even have to be the turkish store btw, depending on the game and ongoing sales some regions might be even cheaper.

 

Only problem with revolut was that I didn't manage to directly pay with Paypal or GooglePay even though there was that option. What you can do is link your revolut visa to your paypal account. Then transfer paypal balance to revolut. Or do a direct bank transfer to top up your revolut card. Either way it will take a couple of days for the money to get through but it's definitely worth it.

[Guest]

I don't know about Turkish but don't forget US ps store does have tax in most states that's is not added to prices. So a 59.99 game is probably 65 at the end of the day.

[Darpiom]

The problem is here in Turkey that purchasing power parity is really low. Minimum wage is 2.500 TL, Last of Us 500 TL. You can buy only 5 games for one full month's hard work other costs not into account. I dont think minimum wage is 300 usd in western europe
