[RadeonAMD]

Just want to check did anyone encounter this issue of purchasing game from PS store the game price is sgd$35.20. How come my credit card was charged sgd$36.19 instead?

wow i didn't realise this. i went back to check my previous purchases and now i feel ripped off. didn't realise that the amounts on cc statements are different from email receipts, but the difference is small so it was easy to miss.

i assume the fees are taken by the bank though, not sony.

Singapore VS US store

Does the US store have more games than the Singapore store? Trying to decide which region to set my account to.

The difference should be credit card fx administration charges. The same will also happen to Aliexpress and most overseas platforms, the solution is to use Youtrip or Revolut which do not have any charges.

US store have more indie games which SG store don't have. SG store have Japanese and Chinese games which US store don't have.

Best is to have both region accounts. As for which account to have PS+, personally i would choose US PS+ even though SG PS+ is cheaper since free games for PS+ likely will have a lot of indie games

Thanks for your reply. Will look into setting up US PS+ account.
