    So, I have a UK PSN account, since I'm from the UK, and I don't have a debit or credit card that will work on PSN, and I obviously can't buy euro cards. Is there anywhere around at all that sells these? Or anyway to get round this?

    Why not?
    If you set up an Irish account, you can buy euro PSN cards.
    Any game you download on your Irish account is available to all accounts.

    Buy the cards of Amazon or look at any of the many sites that will just email you the code instead of waiting for the post.

    Don't know exchange rate or uk psn prices.
    Your other options are to drive up north or fly/ferry to the uk, or get a relative/friend to post one over from the uk.

    Sorry, didn't read it closely.

    Depends, how far are you from the North or just getting a relative or whatever to buy it for you and text the code to you.


    Amazon don't take paypal, so that leaves ebay for big sites.

    Going up north is pretty cheap right? I'd prefer that then having multiple accounts, I'd probably forget the details or lose them or something.

    You're not saving that much by getting a uk card, plus the inconvenience.
    You don't have to remember any details, you can tick the remember password box.

    Yeah going up North is cheap and the savings you'd make by buying a single PSN card up there against the price for getting there is definately worth it!!

    Think logically mate. Save yourself the hassle. Set up an Irish PSN account and buy a PSN card in a local store or from Gamesnash.ie
