Hi, I heard about your site from an anime convention. I was one of the girls lining up to play Tekken if anyone remembers me...

Anyway, my room mate and I recently bought a PS3. We were able to get it connected to the net. Techie chick yung room mate ko, and she loves fiddling around with gadgets, so she got it connected to the net while I just stared and watched. We got a bit confused though when we started entering our address for the PSN account... because Philippines wasn't included in the list!

My room mate decided to use a fake address, and since the unit was Asian, she made a Singapore account. Medyo nanghinayang ako dito, cause I'm not sure if it's legal? I didn't argue with her anymore since she knows more than I do and left it at that.

Tanong ko lang, just to be sure, is this safe? Using a fake address in the account?

O nga pala, bakit nga ba wala iyung Philippines? Discrimination!

because the PS3 wasn't released officially by Sony in the Philippines, it's ok to use an outside address, I have 4 foreign address nga for my 4 PSN accounts lols

Hmmm....

Parang naalala kita? Ikaw ba yung cosplayer? O hindi? May naalala ako cosplyer at meron din ako naalala girl na regular clothes lang. Anyway para sure padalan mo ako ng picture kasama yung friend mo. :bigmouth:

To answer your question, it's ok to use a fake address dahil wala tayong choice di ba. Nobody gets banned(I think) for using a fake address. The reason why the Philippines isn't on the list of countries is because the Philippines is not officially supported by Sony. The main reason why were are not supported is because when Sony officially launch PS2 and PSP here, nobody bought at them and people prefer to buy p*rated games. The experience left a bad taste on Sony, hence no support for PS3.

Ahhh, ako ata yung girl na regular clothes. There were two of us there nung time na yan.

Piracy talaga? Sa bagay. My roomie works as an artist sa local game industry and palagi niya ako sinasabihan kapag bumibili ako ng fakes.

Update: Apparently, my roomie already knows all this stuff. She already made an account with a US address and nagdodownload na siya ng game demos. :snore:

Anyway, thanks na rin for the info!

Mukhang kayo nga yon.... Dalawa kayo naglalaro at the time, nice to see that somehow nakatulong pa rin yung mga booth namin kahit 1 year na yung event.

Ayos lang yung false address, although as much as possible advised din na gumamit ng totoong address and billing like sa relative mo nalang siguro or friend sa ibang bansa na officially supported ng PS3. :)

technically its not okay to use an address that is not yours

but since Philippines is not on the list, we don't have a choice, do we?

and its not discrimination. Sony just doesn't support countries they didn't officially release their product to. Philippines isn't the only one thats missing in the country list
