I setup a US PSN account a while back but never used it as I was planning on buying US PSN cards to save money on purchases. But most places had a mark up so I did not save anything. I live in the UK and I am going to create a US based Paypal account and make my purchases through that. Has anyone else done this?
Will the games purchased through the US store work on every PSN account or just the one it is bought through?
As long as you set that PS4 as the primary console for that account (can be done for every account on that console), then all the other accounts on the console can play the games, earn trophies, etc etc.
Also, rather than mess around with PayPal, just use a site like cdkeys to buy US PSN vouchers and add the credit to your account with the code they send you.
(Edit: at the time I bought them the markup on cdkeys was basically negligible, unlike every other place I'd seen like eBay. Definitely worth checking out!)
It's dead easy, I did it to pick up both Wolfenstein games for under a tenner in one of the recent US sales
Only console that is account restricted is the vita.
From 16/08/15 I’m going for sober for six months to raise money for the Princess Alice Hospice. Donations can be made here and anything you can offer is greatly appreciated: https://www.justgiving.com/Stephen-Butler5
