Hi there i live in the uk and i have been a fan of street figher IV as long as i can rember. now i guess you can understand how mad i was when hd remix wasnt availble in the uk store and i couldn purchase it from the american store bcause i dont have a credit card. who knows when there going to release! but i managed to buy i today. I thought i would write this guide to help others who are in the same position i was. hers how to get it.

1 firstly make a new user and create an US account. just put random details in and find a US zip code buy searching for one on google.if not search google for instrucions on how to make an american psn account

  1. go tohttp://www.entropay.com/ This is the key to this whole opperation. it allows you to add funds to a virtual visa credit card. I added 13 gbp to my account. theycharge 64pence to add these funds to your account. registering with them takes a few minutes and you get a virtual card

  2. log in to your american psn account and go to transaction management. add the virtual card details they give you on entropay. leave the address as the one you enered it dosent matter.

  3. then go and buy hd remix and download it!

I hope this helps because i jus didnt want to wat and was going buy a playstaion network card of ebay for 18 but this sems to be a much cheaper and quicker method.

if you want you can add me on playstation network and see me playng it in my british account!! lockman_321

  1. Cause lag when playing against people in countries who got it legit.

I don’t blame you though. If it weren’t available here, I’d probably be doing the same thing.

He could set the lag smoothing to high and everything should be alright.

4

That’s what I did and I get pretty decent games most of the time. That and you bump into other foreigners from time to time.:woot:

5

I don’t get any lag at all, and I’m from the UK?

Sometimes I don’t connect, but at least I have the game. I can vouch for the method too, cos that’s what I did.

6

I can also vouch that this method works, I’m downloading it right now!
Goddamn the US store is a lot better than ours.

7

So did you create the card in GBP, rather than USD? And if so, couldn’t you get away with less? $15+5% should be well under 11…

8

Tried to this, got as far as trying to load the virtual card with $20, and then it just says it has encountered a problem every time. Grrrr.

9

Anybody got any further info on whether Entropay has been blocked? And if it still works, what currency and minimum amount needs to be added?

10

hi u new to make the card with GBP not USD thats why people are encountering problems

11

I bought a US PSN store card and purchased it that way.

12

yeah i am thinking about buying one too, you see loads on ebay.
Were did you get yours and does it work for EUR ps3’s with a usa account?

13

Works perfectly mate. Grab one off eBay as there are lots of reputable merchants (I got mine from sbblair). Create a US account (following the guide) and then insert the code that will be sent to you via e-mail. Its a piece of cake and I’d personally recommend this method over the entropay.com one as there are fewer personal details involved.

14

Yup, got mine the same today :rolleyes:

15

lockman - what was the balance on the card after you purchased? ie was 13 quid just enough, or did you put on more to be on the safe side?

16

i put 13 gbp on to be on the save side, and i think there was maybe like 60p or 70p left. I was going to purchase the playstion network card off ebay but i didnt want to spend 20.

the problem only occurs when people make the card but put t n USD. now obvoulsly that wont work because if you have a card thats been made for USD and you try to put GBP you will get an error. so when creating the card in entropay create it using GBP and then you will be able to money on it.

Then when you by the game from PSN, PSN takes the GBP of your card which is equivalent to the price of the game. they do the currency conversion.

hope that has cleared things up

Thanks for the extra info lockman. Yep, the method still works as of Jan 8th. I just downloaded and installed it fine. From the 13 original balance, I apparently now have GBP 1.99 left to spend. Dunno if that difference is due to exchange rates or whatever, but the game appears cheaper now too.

For reference later on, I was able to download the 303 megabytes in about 12.5 minutes, at about 11pm local time.
