    Hi all,

    I've just after creating a US account and buying need for Speed rivals. I've only after realising now that this account obviously won't have plus but my main account does. Can I download the game using my American account and the play it online on my main Irish account?

    Thanks for that. I was getting worried that I'd thrown money away and wasn't able to check until the ps4 is released.

    Hi mate.. I bought psn cards off Amazon. Com. When entering an address it can be anything but use florida as there is no additional tax in that state. It is a digital transaction so you get the code online. Mine took about three hours to process the first order, I think this one due to the fact that I always buy stuff from Amazon UK but my second order went through immediately.

    You would save about 20/25 from a store such as gamestop and around 10 from Amazon UK

    It has to be the owning account, so if you do buy a game from the US store it'll need to be your US account.

    Just to add to this as I was looking for information on this previously but found it hard to find.

    I bought a US PSN voucher online and redeemed it in my new US PSN Account. I download COD: Ghosts (saved a lot of money!!) and can play this online using my Irish PSN account with Playstation Plus...

    So go for it!
