    Hey I need to get one of these for my American PSN account, I am dying to buy Soviet Strike (Amazing game!) but its only available on the American PSN, not the European one. So I am after setting up an account but I didn't even think of the funds so now I am stuck. I need the 5.99 badly :D anyway, help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Do you have access to a credit card?
    If so, use it on the US PSN to buy the game or set up an ebay account to get a US PSN card.

    You also don't get overcharged unlike on ebay.

    They don't have the email ones in stock. Who knows when they'll have them back.

    Ebay overcharge, but at least they have them.

    I created a US account, got myself a $10 card and bought Soviet Strike!!!....ooh the memories :-)

    The US site has WAY more options, games and streaming sties available...i now have Youtube!, but most of the US streamers are region locked, still....great to have access to the US PSN.

    Tried to buy one off pcgamesupply, but the site wouldn't let me register on it for unknown reasons.

    Anyone link me to digital one on ebay? I presume they send it to the email registered to the ebay account or do you gotta tell them your email?

    Did you try your credit card on your US account?
    Put in your normal address, but when it asks for a zip code, put in a valid zip code. I use 90210.

    I got one from http://www.pcgamesupply.com/ last night and it came through within minutes. Bought a $10 card and they charged $3 on top of it. So not too bad. Not sure how that compares to eBay though.

    Thanks for the replies lads. I got one off http://cardscodes.com. I was trying to get one off http://www.pcgamesupply.com/ beforehand but it wouldn't let me register so had no luck there.
