I'm not one to QQ and Rage but this just pisses me off.
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.

PSN cards are avalible but they are region locked to NZ accounts.
Havnt tried PayPal yet, but if it works it won't change my mind. Sony customer service f*cked me off more than once, this is the last straw

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 :\
I'll keep playing dust until it transfer. If it goes to PC then I'll keep playing but if not then I'll trade in for an Xbox One.

Tried bank card and a travel card. I don't use credit cards but I read that those don't work either

Thought about that, but I will lose all the SP I earned.

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.

No, I mean when trading is introduced, you can make a new account in the region the PSN card is based in, buy AUR on that account, then trade over the stuff to your Jonny D Buelle account. You'll get LR4 with 20$, and I know this is a major inconvenience. Fck Sony
That could work, hopefully they will allow AUR itself to he traded.
Failing that I'll give amazon a try

We use to sell synthetic cannibis because it was decriminalized, until they found out it was pretty much watered down meth.
As for other drugs, they are all illegal yet a cop in my town won't arrest you for smoking a bong as long as you arnt selling.
Prostituion is decriminalized. I sh*t you not you can find a $50 hooker in the classifieds section of the new paper.

I sh*t you not you can find a $50 hooker in the classifieds section of the new paper. When I was stationed in Germany they had a brothel called the Atlantis. Smoking hot chicks walking around in nothing but high heels. 60 Euro to get in and 50 to bang bang. After a two week field exercise I spent 410 Euro, do the math, it was amazing. The place had indoor and outdoor pools, I think there's a Wilipedia page about it.
Well I know where I'm going on holiday next!
