buying Euro/UK PSN card is the safest way to do it. some Asian gamers tried to use europay (or something else) to add money to their accounts, sony ended up wiping out all their account balances.

also, keep in mind, once you sync your PSP to your european PSN account, your PSP is then linked to that account. all your US PSN contents won't work anymore unless you sync it to the US PSN account again.

This was the most important piece of information. I just hope Front Mission 3 is released on the US PSN when Front Mission 5 is released. I loved this game on the PS1 but sold it to fund my purchase of a PS2.

I've never understood why Sony refuses to allow us to buy content from foreign PSN stores. I also don't understand why certain games are released for only one region - I've been waiting for Vagrant Story to come to the US store for ages.

Different countries = different taxes/currency.

But games/content avaliable is a another history... I guess that all PSNs should have the same content.
