    Inter Continental Playstation Store?

    Hi,

    This is my first post, I've searched for answers online but not found them here or anywhere else.

    1) I have three PSN store accounts set up on my UK PS3, if I was to import Oblivion from the US would I be able to buy the downloadable content from the UK store to use with the US game? I've downloaded loads from the US/Jap stores but due to having a UK credit card I can't register it with them to pay for downloads.

    2) Can anybody who has upgraded their hard drive recommend one? I'm looking for an internal drive at about 120GB and USB external at about 500GB...sometime! Is there a maximum size the PS3 will recognise for a USB drive?

    3) Can you use the XBox 360 wireless headset with the PS3? I have a feeling that I read a while ago that it doesn't use bluetooth which would make it incompatible.

    Use mastercard if possible for international orders.

      But it would still be registered to a UK address rather than a US or Japanese address.

        Don't think it checks the address, so you should be fine

          I've not been able to do that. When I input my card details with a US address, before I even try buying anything I just get told that my card is registered to a different address.
          Has anybody been able to set a card up that way?

            Don't input your card details with a US address - Obviously anti-fraud validation means the address and card info have to match - David means the Sony servers won't check the address so it's ok to use your real one.

              Thanks for trying to help here.

              Have you managed to do this yet? When it asks for card details the address is already pre-filled with my registration address (Hong-Kong or USA, depending on which account/store I am in) and it's not possible to change the address as it's grayed out.

                My Barclaycard Mastercard wouldn't work on the US Store at all, no matter what other people may have been successful with.

                  I'm wondering if it was possible before and Sony have changed it to stop people signing up in different continents?

                    It would be interesting to see if it works on an older fw revision, I've got 1.50 and I'm gonna try this tonight, I want to get Tekken anyway.

                      Yeah, let us know how it goes.

                      If it has changed it may be a change with the store rather than with the fw. I'm not sure if the fw would affect it at all.

                        I imagine it would be an online thing as opposed to something stored in the console fw, but you never know.

                        I'm new to the PS3 but I believe the store wasn't introduced until a later revision right ? My console had 1.10 on it to begin with but I updated it to 1.5 straight away to play resistance.
