Hello guys, Just bought PS4 from ITSHOW today. I am total newbie for console gaming, and in fact gaming stuff. So far only play mobile based games.
Can you guys kindly point me to the right section for newbie what needs to be done for account setup? I would like to buy PS4 games from Amazon and online.
I read several threads but quite confuse.
1. Is PSN card universal? like a top up card? So i can just reload it from different merchant?
2. Which region you need to select to setup your account?
3. Do you register at Sony Playstation Asia officially?, will it impact game delivery etc?
Thank you
Sony's PSN store is like apple app store, but different region PSN store are separated. Region 1 is US, region 2 is Euro, region 3 is Asia, etc. Likewise when u buy PSN card u have to know which region it is for, buy from who doesnt matter.
The region of the account u create depends on the address u key in. Key in SG address u get asia account, euro address u get euro account etc. The PSN store u get to access from your created account will be of the corresponding region also.
If u intend to buy games from Amazon (im assuming the us store), take note the games sold there are all R1 unless specifically stated. Games are all region free, but when it comes to DLC (downloadable content), u have to buy from the correct region PSN store to fit the correct disc region, i.e. US PSN store for R1 DLCs.
Register at sony asia is just for hardware warranty, nth to do with account region etc.
