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.
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?
Cool thanks, Coxis.
Hey Flame, you might as well add Mexico to that list. We just got it in November. Cheers.
hey! so wat happens when u send them a request to open a ps store in kuwait? do they reply? what do they say?
lol?! i send the mail to sony via the ME site
strange
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.
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
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.
hey wanna be frends so we can tak and play together?
PSN: ghost_oo7 (it not zero its ao)
hotmail: nouraizasad@hotmail.com
relax i’m talking serious
here’s the printscreen

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…
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.
what’s their email? i also want to send them.
@inferno: That’s awesome! Could you printscreen the email so I can see it?
@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.
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 !
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.
Me neither.
I’m not quitting till Kuwait gets a PSN Store.
sony must treat every country equally
i’m sick of this
And why the hell did South Africa get one?
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!
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
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to the offcial ps3/ middle east site and i didnt find any way to send them a message
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’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.
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 ?
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.
