AdvancedThese are the countries available (officially supported) when signing up for Playstation Network (PSN). The country you choose determines various validation rules for steps in the PSN sign-up process–for example minimum age requirement or valid residental address.
Although it is against the terms and conditions to provide incorrect information, there are guides elsewhere online for signing up with a different country (e.g. creating a US account) to allow you to use the PSN.

Update: I’ve just checked the account registration through PS Store for PC and oddly the list of countries is shorter! If a country listed above has a star/asterisk then it is available when signing up via the online store.
it is a myth. i tried searching for it everywhere but i couldn’t find it. I also wanted to buy stuff from the psn store but i couldn’t because i don’t have a credit card, so i can to use my sister’s, but she doesn’t let me because she doesn’t trust these kind of websites. when u create ur entropay card use your real kuwaiti address, not your fake psn account.
hope this helps.
we need a kuwaiti ps store
i’m gonna call them 24 hours a day until they make a kuwaiti ps store lol
yeah i also dont have a credit card but my family does and they dont trust these sites
anyone have sony’s phone number ?
I’m also a kuwaiti and i have a credit card but still it doesn’t accept my credit card, i have tried Entropay, but entropay refuses to load money from my credit card to it’s virtual card, I just gave up.. really.
You can go to the ps3 websiite, send them your suggestion, then they will reply and give you an address which you can send a letter to them. i just don’t understand one thing… why did the UAE get a ps store and we don’t???
I went to the offcial ps3/ middle east site and i didnt find any way to send them a message
man i want a kuwati ps store and ya why they give UAE and not kuwait and you now if you sgin up for psn you will get from ps store 2 free full games i am so angry now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey guys
i sent a message to sony via this site http://www.sony-mea.com/section/contactus
plz send more messages demanding a kuwaiti ps store
thx
i sent them like 4 e-mails, and they told me to copy the mailing address down so we can send them a letter of our suggestion. i just don’t know why they didn’t make one in the first place!
And why the hell did South Africa get one?
sony must treat every country equally
i’m sick of this
I’m not quitting till Kuwait gets a PSN Store.
Me neither.
YEa i wanna F U * k sony! i want a ps store in kuwait why did they they put one for KSa and UAE!? SOny plz hope ur listenin.
sony has just sent me an email 2days ago
it said that the process of opening an kuwaiti ps store is in prograss.. and may see the light in 2009
i hope they r telling the truth !
@Nani: lol calm down. If you wanna help persuade Sony to create a Kuwaiti Store we’ll have to do it without screaming at them with rage.
add me Nasserkun@hotmail.com So we can petition for a Kuwaiti Network Store at Sony.
@inferno: That’s awesome! Could you printscreen the email so I can see it?
what’s their email? i also want to send them.
You have to use this site for the Middle East to email them or phone call them: http://www.sony-mea.com/section/contactus
I’ve sent them a formal complaint. I’d advise you guys not to spam as that won’t amount to anything.
inferno, please tell me you’re not s**ting us because i don’t take these kinds of things as jokes. please tell me that they actually sent u that e-mail, because they can’t just send u an e-mail saying that without actually doing it. can u send it to me? my e-mail is jafar.jafar@gmail.com…
relax i’m talking serious
here’s the printscreen

hey wanna be frends so we can tak and play together?
PSN: ghost_oo7 (it not zero its ao)
hotmail: nouraizasad@hotmail.com
I don’t mean to sound suspicious Inferno, But the email you printscreened has horrible spelling and grammar and doesn’t sound like a Sony official O_o. Though I could be mistaken, as it is Sony Asia, and English is probably not their first language.
na9r: i dont see spelling mistakes
and even so its from sony ME not sony Asia
btw what should i do so u guys believe me ? :S
Sony ME? Huh…I was confused as the email was ap.sony, AP stands for Asia Pacific.
Anyways you don’t need to do anything. I contacted sony to confirm what you said, and yeah it’s true. We’ll be getting out PSN store 2009.
lol?! i send the mail to sony via the ME site
strange
hey! so wat happens when u send them a request to open a ps store in kuwait? do they reply? what do they say?
Hey Flame, you might as well add Mexico to that list. We just got it in November. Cheers.
Cool thanks, Coxis.
hey, is there any other way to be able to purchase things through the PS store if it says that it is not available in your region?
If you want to buy from the US store and do not belong in the region, you have 2 options for adding funds to the US store!
1)Entropay – Virtual Credit card, its quite a hassle to setup, and not every1 is eligible to use the service
2)PSN Cards – webstores like gaminglue.com sell PSN cards from a variety of countries, though you have to pay slightly more to top up your wallet, you get your codes quickly, and every1 who can pay through the internet is eligible
Hey Flame, there are recently added countries missing from the list:
Argentina
Brazil
Chile
Colombia
Malaysia
Peru
All of these countries can only be selected in the PSN signup form of the PS3 XMB, I’m pretty sure they don’t have PS Store
I demand that MOROCCO be added by Sony !
Thanks for that, SnoopDop.
why philippines is n0t supp0rted by psn?
is there going to be a qatar psn store in the future??
TURKEY PLEASE!
there are chances for turkey getting a psn store but Qatar i doubt..
Hola, en estos momentos me encuentro en Taiwan y quiero comprar un ps3, y llevarmelo de regreso a mi pais, yo vivo en Guatemala, Centroamerica, pero me han dicho que si lo compro aqui y luego quiero utilizarlo en mi pais, puede que tenga problemas y no lo pueda utilizar para ver peliculas y talvez problemas con algunos juegos que compre en mi pais, es cierto?
Hi Cris. Unless you have high-definition (HD) television you need to check if the Taiwan PS3 is NTSC to be compatible with your home TV.
Watching DVD movies could be a problem due to “region codes”. Central America DVDs are region 4 but an Chinese PS3 may only play region 6. Blu-ray movies should be fine as generally they do not use region codes.
I want Ukraine to be added to the list. It is such a big discrimination and Sony needs to be ashamed. Why the FCK Romania is selectable and we are not? Ukraine has over 50 mil population! Are they out of their fcking minds??? PLEASE EVERYONE WHO DON’T HAVE THEIR COUNTRY ON THE LIST EMAIL SONY AND LET’S END THIS BULLSHIT.
Hey, does anybody know the email of high placed Sony employees ? We need to contact Sony Computer Japan and Europe
Here is the email format of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe: firstname_lastname@scee.net for example if you visit http://www.scee.presscentre.com/Content/Detail.asp?ReleaseID=4780&NewsAreaID=2 near the end of the page (Notes to Editors paragraph) you will notice that Nick Caplin the PR of SCEE has an email address in the same format.
David Reeves the previous CEO of SCEE had the same email format but he no longer works for Sony. So if you know someone who works in SCEE especially the Playstation Network you can try contacting them.
If you know the email format of Playstation Japan please tell us.
ok,i want to buy the new map pack for cod5 and when i go to add funds to my wallet or add billing info it says it cannot be updated or somthing like that why cant it be updated?
