Hey everyone. I have a few questions about starting a Japanese PSN account.
I imagine that it can't be that difficult to do in terms of getting started. Pick Japan as my region and just set up the account. No big deal. Let me know if I'm off the mark on this count.
What I'm really looking for is information on accessing the Japanese PSN store. As someone living in North America, my questions are:
1.) Do I need to fear being blocked from the Japanese market for any reason, living in North America?
2.) Do I need to fear my PS3 being banned for doing this kind fo activity?
3.) Provided I get access to the Japnese PSN store without issue, how do I pay for stuff? Can I just use an existing CC? Do I need a Japanese CC? Can I buy Japanese PSN cards off eBay/Amazon/wherever?
4.) Can I still have the displayed language be English, understanding that there may not be English language options/text for some content on PSN?
Looking forward to any advisement anyone can offer. Thanks.
