Ok i am going to guide you through how to create a working JAP PSN account and a USA PSN account.

Before we do you will notice on alot of the photos i have put a * this will represent the info you need to enter, eg i will put the * Email address
So you know that is the info you need to enter.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So lets start:

----------------------------------------------------
CREATING A JAP ACCOUNT
----------------------------------------------------

1. Make a new user account on your PlayStation 3. To do this move across the XMB menu all the way to the left, choose "Create New User", and enter a new user name for the account. I choose "JAP-PS3"



2. Logged in as the new user on your PS3, move over to the right hand side of the XMB and open the "PlayStation Store".



You will be prompted with this screen. Choose the top option



3. * Choose Japan as your country/region, and enter a birthdate (Make sure to select a date which makes you 18 or older or else it will be a different setup).



4. Choose the top option. This will create a "Master Account" on your PS3
(It will not interfere with your original account!)



5. Scroll down this screen (It contains the regular legal agreements) At the bottom, click the right hand button to continue



6. Enter the following info in each box

* Email address  (Dont use the same one you registered your first account with)
** Password
*** Confirm password
**** Check the box
***** Leave as is
****** Enter anything



7. * Enter your choosen "gamer tag"
(Don't use the same tag that you are using with your main account)



8. Enter the following info in each box (It is advised not to use your real name, Just incase)

* First Name
** Surname
*** Type anything you want
**** Type anything you want
***** Gender



9. Enter the following info in each box

* Enter three numbers
** Choose second option from the drop down menu
*** Address
**** Address
***** Address
****** Address



10. You are now asked if you want to add a credit card to your account
(Unless you have a international credit card choose the bottom option)



11. Make sure that the box is unchecked!



12. This page confirms your details, Choose the highlighted box



13. This page just confirms your email address. Choose the higlighted button to finish making you account!



14. You will be asked to select an avatar, (if you dont wont one then press the 'PS' button on your controller, and select to cancel your actions) Dont worry about it your account has already been created so choose "Yes".

You now can enter the store and get your hands on anything you want!

----------------------------------------------------
CREATING A USA ACCOUNT
----------------------------------------------------

Now this will be very similer to creating a JAP account but there are some differences

1. Make a new user account on your PlayStation 3. To do this move across the XMB menu all the way to the left, choose "Create New User", and enter a new user name for the account. I entered "USA-PS3"



2. Logged in as the new user on your PS3, move over to the right hand side of the XMB and open the "PlayStation Store".



You will be prompted with this screen. Choose the top option



3. * Choose United States as your country/region, and enter a birthdate (Make sure to select a date which makes you 18 or older or else it will be a different setup).



4. Choose the top option to create a "Master Account" on your PS3

10. Choose *No
(Unless you have a international credit card)



11. Dont check the boxes, just click the highlighted box
