    Check youtube. Plenty of videos on it there. Creating a Japanese account is quite difficult though

    The US one is very easy, just find an address online of a hotel or something, just make sure the zipcode is right. 90210 is quite popular :D

    Dosent have to be a real address, you can put in 123 candyland lane if you like, but for the zipcode, put 90210 or 98121 dosent matter. once you created an EU and US it's easy to create the japanese one.

    Some of the stores will have content before otheres and generally it's cheaper to buy stuff from the US store because of the €/$ exchange rate.

    You cannot buy stuff from the other stores unless you have a credit card belonging to that region.

    You can still download free stuff without any hassle though.

    You can also purchase US PSN items from Amazon.com. Haven't tried it myself, but will probably try it on something not on the Euro store yet.

    <edit>

    Tried it and no luck -

    I buy from PSN in both home (irish), using my normal CC, and the US PSN using my www.entropay.com virtual card. It only confirms the address at the initial purchase. So all I did was go into Entropay and change the address temporarily to match the address I had on the US PSN account and I bought my first item COD4:MP1. Entropay automatiacally changes it back once they realise it as you cant have an address outside the EU, well thats the email I got back in any case. Now my address is my normal Irish one and have purchased Fat princess for $9.99 (€15 on irish PSN). Hope this helps someone.
