Learn How to Buy Tekken 5 from PS3 Japanese Store Bend the rules a little	By Robert Matei, Gaming News Editor 3rd of January 2007, 07:58 GMT Adjust text size:


Probably many of you US PS3 owners are eager to get Tekken 5 for your next-gen. So far, this Namco fighter is available only in Japan and Hong Kong. As no word is out yet on when it will become available for download for US residents, GamersReport have an interesting guide on how you can snatch the 850 MB of fighting regardless of your area. I don't know how legal this is, but I know you bent the rules once or twice. If you are interested, you might want to read the following lines: "Firstly, you need to add a new user to your PS3. Keep in mind it cannot be a new sub user, it has to be a new user from scratch. Go ahead and add all the credit card information, and when it asks for the country pick Hong Kong, and choose any city. Remember, all of the information will be the same except city and country. After you have created this new account that has a Hong Kong city and country, go all the way to the right on the main PS3 screen and choose account management. Then choose transaction management, then manage wallet, then add funds. When you add money remember it will be in HK dollars. If you go directly to the PS3 store and try to buy Tekken, it will not work because any amount over $50 dollars and Sony will check if the home address matches the home address the credit card has on file. In order to get around this, add $40 HK dollars to your wallet twice, then go into the PS3 Store and purchase Tekken 5. From there, it will ask you if you want to add more funds to your account, (example $45 HK dollars). This brings you to a total of $125 HK dollars which is roughly equivalent to $15 USD, enough to purchase Tekken 5."
