How Europeans Can Get The US Version Early On PS3

[jrolson]

Since the word is that Europe doesn't get the game til next month, this is how Europeans can get the US version 1 month early.
*I cant guarantee that the US version will work on European TV's (NTSC vs PAL)

But if you really cant wait and want to try it, this is how to get the game early.

1. Create a new American PSN account using a fake US address (Use the state of Maryland so you don't get charged sales tax otherwise the game would be more than $10) (look up a city and zip code in Maryland on google)
2. Download the trial of the game in the store and see if it works on your TV.
3. If you wish to buy after trying it, visit http://cardscodes.com/Playstation_Network_Live_Card_10_USA-25.html
Use your Paypal account to buy a $10 US PSN card to add money to your account. After you buy it they will e-mail you the 12 digit code.
4. Enter the code in the store and the funds will be added.
5. Enjoy!

Ive done this with other games and it works... So try it if you want.

I've used an US account for some time now to download demo's and stuff without any problems. This will be the first time I'll actually buy a game from the US store.

Is a pain seeing as i have £25 sitting on my UK PSN account, and now ill need to dish out $10 for my US PSN account. How much is TPA on the PSN store then?...$10???

Can we download a trail before buying??....if so ill see how much different it is form the 360 version and then make a descision

The game is trial-to-buy, so the initial download is free. You’ll be able to play all of the tables up to a certain score before you’re asked to buy the game (for $9.99) or exit out to the Main Menu.

Normally I'd do that. But since it's cross compatible with the Vita and that one's activated with my European account, I guess I just have to wait.

*Updated post so you dont get charged sales tax, otherwise the $10 psn card wouldn't be enough.

And yes you should try the trial of the game to see if it works on your TV first before buying.

For some strange reason, the demo is missing from the store, I think Sony forgot it.
Only the full version is available right now...

When you buy the full version it lets you download the demo so we know it's on Sony's servers just not on the store. Might have to wait for Sony to fix.

I don't think they forgot it. They do this with a lot more games, so it's probably deliberate. Sometimes they publicly release the demo weeks later, sometimes never.

uhm but someone on pinball arcade's fb page said that it is available to download in new releases tab on psn...it's really strange

 

[jrolson]

Not unless Farsight told Sony to skip the demo... I dont know why they would do this tho because it would hurt sales if people can't try this great game...

Did you try clicking on the search icon and searching for "pinball arcade demo"?

I tried to find "pinball arcade" and it listed the ps3 and vita full game...no demos at all.

 

[jrolson]

I dont see a demo either...

There could only be 2 reasons why the demo isnt available.

1. Sony forgot to add it (which I believe, because Sony makes alot of these mistakes)
2. Farsight asked Sony to skip the demo due to a major bug in the demo.

So no way to try it out

It's a must buy. I also life in the Netherlands and i have buy it from the US store. Also i have it on my vita with a US Account.
If the game wil come out here in the Netherlands i will buy it again because i want my Dutch Account back on my vita so i can play with other friends.
