Just bought the whole Boston Pack, Stone Temple Pilots Interstate Love Song & the Oasis Pack.

Not sure why yet as I have not finished all songs in the actual game but hey.... what can you do ?

This game is so much fun.

I'm playing in the Solo Mode on Guitar, trying to unlock every song on Medium difficulty. So far, I'm only half way.

I finally managed to unlock Dani California

But yea, only half-way ... and I'm already purchasing RB DLC haha!

PS: I forgot. Why can't we use our Australian credit cards on the American PSN Store? At the moment, I'm using Entropay ... but just wondering whether it's necessary or not.

I have yet to be able to register on American Playstation Store with an Australian credit card. I will do some googling and see if its possible.

I just can't picture why it's not possible. All the American PSN should do, is just charge USD1.99 + USD0.14 on our credit card ... no questions asked, right?

Because at the moment, we're getting charged:
USD 0.14 - American tax
+ USD 0.50 - Entropay Load Fee
+ Foreign exchange conversion fee

I'm just wondering if we can get rid of the Entropay Load Fee.

The network must look at the country your card is registered. This must be the way that the PSN divides up the network into various countries. ie because you give an Australian address as a registered billing address you get directed to the Australian store. If you log into the US store stating that you live in the US and then try to use a card that is registered in Australia then you get rejected.
Its just another way of validating your identity. I mean when you create an account on somewhere like Amazon or Play-Asia etc you usually have to give a billing address on top of a delivery address. That billing address is used to validate your card and therefor your identity.

Technically though if you could access using an Aussie card you should not get slugged with Tax. You would probably get slugged with a foreign curency conversion fee which will pretty much equate to half of the entropay Load fee of 5%.

Until prepaid cards are readily available in the US (and you can easily import them) I think we just have to live with Entropay.

Ahh, alright. Thanks for the clear explanation nightphant.
I just wanted to know, that's all.

I'm cool with Entropay. Pretty handy for what we're after, I must admit

I was actually surprised that the validation against the Entropay card worked because the address I gave on the American PSN store was about as dodgy as my singing on Rockband

Damn. I'm happy I got the American version then. I'll be messing with the game for another 6 months before other Aussies get it.

Btw, I invited my friends over for Rock Band ... and they loved it as well. I quote:

Rock Band ****s over Guitar Hero ...

We had an awesome time
