I finally got enough money to purchase AUR. I went to go to use my card, but because my account was set up in the US and my card is from NZ, it wouldnt go through.

Tried to swtich my account from US to NZ, not allowed. So I call the call center. To quote them: "It is physically impossible for us to change your region code." They didn't even ask me for my account details or anything.

So the only way for me to purchase AUR is to set up a new PSN, which would be fine if I could transfer my toons, but that's also "physically impossible" according to Sony.

So because of that I'm done with Sony. I'll keep playing Dust but if it transfers to PS4, don't expect to see me there.

If you get a paypal you can just send the money to someone in the US and have them grab you a prepaid card.

Alternatively, you can buy PSN codes online for any region.

Sorry to hear you got stuck in this situation. It is actually fairly common for some reason that I do not understand. Why people set up for regions that they do not live in may have some valid reasons but I can not think of any. There are cases where people move and I think Sony should take this into account to allow for region to be switched after a verification process to make sure it is being done by the actual owner of the account.

Well there's two reasons why people do it. The first is that they lived in the region that its locked and then move to another country as is my case (I lived in the US for 10 years).

The second reason is the price. Here in NZ a new game can easily cost $100+ where in the US it costs $50-$60. Hell, AUR is cheaper in the US than here.

It never mentioned a region. Well , best way to stik it to a business you dislike..is to stop the flow of money, so do what you feel you gotta do. That does suck though :\ if it were like standad DLC, you could make a new account for that region , and it share for all accounts on that system..unfortunately, it don't work that way with Dust

Or worst case you could probably sell your card for what you got for it. Then buy a pre-paid credit card and use that. Hope it works out.
