Up for grabs I have a $50 US PSN store account up for grabs.

It will require you to make a new account on your ps3 and sign in with the details, AND keep that account on your ps3 to enable to use the products you download.


MESSY? yes.....

works? yes.....

So how do you get it?

In 50 words or less, explain why Australian PSN should lift its game and provide us with the same content as the US psn.

EDIT: also include what the first thing is you will buy from the Us store shall you be picked as the best rant.

Winner will be announced at 2100hrs QLD time.

The australian PSN should give us the same content as the USA store because it is unfair that we have to create accounts and buy cards online just to get the content that our local store does not. Sony should change this and let all PSN stores recieve the same content so no country is disadvantaged. We need more content!!!

The Australian store should lift its game because it's not fair that we have to wait for ps3 games, dlc and ps1 games. We also miss out on themes and movies. If the Australian PSN wants more people to buy them they MUST improve and give us what we deserve.

***I would buy crash bandicoot 2***

It should lift its game because we shouldn't be treated differently as gamers. Why do we need to create a US account to gain all the content and benefits that should firstly be available to all regions of the PSN? It's common sense that needs to be considered after all.

The Aus PSN lacks content. In Black and white, clear as the sky. We have to make multiple accounts just to get the content that we want. Sony, give us what we deserve!

We are way behind the UK, HK and US in DLC and content, we pay more for everything, we don't have dedicated servers, can't watch movies on netflix etc. basically AU psn needs to step up into the 21st century with the rest of the 1st world.

The Aus PSN should lift it's game to compensate for the constant shafting of the Australian game community by bricks and mortar stores. Prices are sky high when the aussie dollar is nearly parallel with the US dollar. Also there is no reason we shouldn't get to experience some of the best downloadable experiences just because of our region.

Id buy FF8 straight up and a subscription to Qore, I have longed for ages to get myself Qore.

nice giveaway mate!

We should receive the same content as the US because we already getting the short end of the stick with our current games being jacked up in price atm as they have to be shipped across etc, and with our strong aussie dollar, importing is far more attractive. Seeing that our games are more expensive over here and also that the fact that we in australia have internet quota usage limits, i think its unacceptable that we don't get the same content as the US. I don't see what they have to lose, its just unfair. Because the PSN is all digital i don't see why they can't just provide us with the same content as the US. For the DLC that we DO get, its far more expensive which is unacceptable seeing as our dollar is so much stronger and we get 3 disadvantages in that it burns a chunk in our net quota, our speeds are slower so its longer to download and also its more expensive. That being said AUS PSN NEEDS to lift its game.... seriously...

my little rant

the first thing i would buy is: FINAL FANTASY 8!!!! not on australian psn but damn i loved that game on ps1.. (squall and rinoa ), my ps1 disc doesn't work on the ps3 cause its not compatible

Australia's PS store is nothing compared to US and Asias PS store. Considering the ONLY thing that the AUS PS store has got before anyone else was the killzone 2 demo, which wasnt really anything to exciting. (Even though I played it 2000000 times)
But in the US and ASIAN ps store you have a huge amount of ps1 games, premium themes, dynamic themes and pretty much everything else. While the australian ps store gets little to stuff all. I really do not see why they dont get the exact same content, its not like Australia is from another planet....

EDIT: The first thing im gunna buy is some premium theme, and a ps1 game, ill have to check to see what is worth buying. BTW great competition.

does your ps3 read cd's? If so it should read ps1 games. unless the game is from a different region.

Well I'll keep it simple the Australian PSN needs to lift its game up to the US PSN level as Australian gamers deserve to get the latest releases as soon as the US do, why should we be made to wait for and be denied content? We shouldn't.
