So i'm going to pick up a few of the other US psone games before they go, but i've forgotten how i did it again.

I created a US account with a US address but can't remember where i picked up a US gift card to top up my account.

I just use Amazon.com, they'll ask for a billing address but don't check so you can just steal a US zip code from somewhere and make the rest up.

I was using it last night but it's not working anymore.

My hunch is that the announcement led to a huge influx of traffic to those pages and Sony told their webteam to remove them because they don't want money.

There's so much baffling stuff about this that makes me wonder if the stuff about the CMOS is true and irreversible and Sony are trying to mitigate the liability of shutting down everything old.

Like, they must have current servers which host all the PS4/PS5 stuff right? So that shouldn't be a financial cause for concern if the older PS3/2/1 games are also stored there.

Edit: I always wrote off PS now because of less than perfect internet connection, but is it actually ok if you've got a decent one?

I tried PS Now like a year ago with the free month trial or whatever and it was perfectly fine with a half-decent connection. It's also nice that you can download any PS4 game like normal from there. I played God of War 2 and had no noticeable lag either.

Just give up and use PSPrices instead. It's much faster and gives you more information like price history and comparisons to physical prices.

It does other platforms as well, but I found dekudeals is good for the Nintendo eshop

I take it with the old product pages finally being removed that there's no way to get any of the old Ps1 classic games?

I managed to get a few already (like Xenoblade and parasite Eve) but because there's nothing on PSNow for PS1 it looks like i'm buggered trying to pick up the other things like Final Fantasy Tactics and Chrono cross that were never released in the UK.

According to release lists like in GameFAQs it did, in every region even. Plus, that's how the majority of people who say it plays better on the Vita would be playing it.

I'm going to hook up my PS3 and see if it's purchasable from there.

Aha, perfect, managed to find them.

Someone earlier mentioned that i could get the gift cards from amazon US. Does anyone have a link to them? I've done a few searches and they come back with poor reviews and warnings of scams and such.

I'm basically looking at $31.96 so need to grab two $20's or a $50 i guess.

I do use that site as well, but it doesn't actually help to let me buy games when I can't log into the shop.

To test it out (and to make up for possibly grabbing a :filez: version recently), I bought Vagrant Story through the PS3 store, and the payment processing problem I was having a few weeks back has been fixed. BUT browsing seems to be completely hosed, up and a bunch of poo poo won't show up unless you actually search for it. (MGS: Virtual Ops shows up under PS One Classics, for instance, but MGS itself doesn't.) Once you've pulled something up, you can still buy it, though. Just a heads-up for anyone looking for anything specific.

EDIT - Assuming it's PS1 games you're looking for, Wikipedia is as good a list source as any.

I'm hitting issues when trying to by those US PSN cards from Amazon. It keeps pulling them out of my cart with an error saying:
"We're sorry. Some items became unavailable after you added them to your cart. In some cases, you can return to the product information page to try another seller."

I'm guessing it's something to do with my delivery addresses (it's a UK Amazon account). I added a US address, but it hasn't made a difference.

Do i need to make a completely brand new amazon account or something?

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
There's also the semi-recent port of the original Katamari Damacy for Switch and PC, which should be available digitally on both platforms.
