Quick PS3 question

So, I hear Symphony of the Night is available on PSN, but I don't see it there.
Do I need to create an American account, or something? If so, how?

    It's definitely available in the US PSN. You'll have to create a US account by going to the website and changing the country to US. You have to put in a fake address AND use a US PSN Card (or American Credit Card).

    Or, if you have the PSP, you can buy Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles and unlock it on there. :P

    Konami Europe are balls and haven't submitted Symphony of the Night, Suikoden or MGS1 for the PAL PSN. Do what urahonky said, put in a fake address, import a US PSN card and buy them yourself. So long as you've got a NTSC compatible tv (aka, it was made within the last 20 years), you'll be fine.

    If you have a 360, it's also available on ecksblar for far less hassle.

    Eh, I don't really think you're getting the same value though. One you can only play on the 360, the other you can play on both the PS3 and PSP (even transferring your save between the two).

    Yeah but you bought Minority Report on the GC, so I'm not sure you qualify as normal. :P

    Well, sure, but it's an option he may not have considered.

    oh man, the Minority Report game was bucketloads of fun, I swear. It was by no means a $20 fun game, hell not even a $10 fun game, but at $1.99? You sir are in for a load of fun.

    here's a silly question. . . if you buy a psp game on your ps3 is it possible to play it on the ps3? or do you just get it expressly to download to a memory stick and slap it into your psp?
