Can I create a Region 2 PSN account with a Region 3 PlayStation 4 console?
“Can I create a Region 2 PSN account with a Region 3 PlayStation 4 console?”Unless I’m mistaken, PS consoles are region-free for games by default.If you mean, ‘can I create a region 2 account while I live in region 3,’ then the answer appears to be yes.You can either set up a VPN connection (which will either require such functionality in your router or an intermediate machine between your PS4 and your internet connection), or just pretend that you live in region 2.Also, (and I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to find an authoritative link) but I’m reasonably sure that Sony considers such an activity to be a violation of their terms of service. You may find that your out-of-region/out-of-country account may be closed, and your purchases forfeit. Caveat emptor.
Does the PlayStation 4 have a region lock in games?
Yes and no. From your question, I assume you're talking about physical copies (discs) but I will also address digital copies further below.The physical copies of games, as I write this, are not region-locked. This means you can buy a game from another side of the world and still be able to play it on your console. (Hooray for japanese games)The digital copies on the other hand are region-locked. As each region has their own laws regarding the content presented in some games. They can remove the games and their DLCs from their region's Playstation Store.You can easily overcome this problem by making an account of another region (using fake credentials). So there it is. Now go ahead and choose from the expanding library of PS4 games.P.S. Check out the free to play games on your store. They're worth it.
How can I create a PSN account if my country is not included in the selection of countries?
yes you can use hong kong. just pick any of the countries that allow you to use english as your language. i would maybe suggest making 3 separate ones. there is a free community chat site with avatars called "home" on each of the different servers. there are 4 servers, north america, europe, pan asia and japan. if you create a hong kong account you will be on the pan asian server. the home community on that server is sort of sparse even though that area of the world has the largest population. so you should also create one for north america and europe. simply enter US and english for the second and England and english for the third. ( ignore the japanese site unless you speak and can read japanese ) you will also have to choose a city and an address in those countries as well as a postal code. sometimes you can just make it up. if that doesn't work just find some address online from the cities you choose. you will also need 3 separate e-mail address's to do this. almost everybody speaks english on the pan asian site except for some of the mainland chinese. the great thing is once you have an account you can add people to your friends list from all over the world.
Why isn't there Playstation Store for some of other countries?
Well, there is the European store. This is why it usually takes longer for those in europe to get the same content as those in America: because they are localising the content with all the various countries and laws. As I'm in the UK, I hate the waiting. :( If they had a store for EACH country in the world, every store would be too different in terms of content, and those in smaller countries would suffer. If u want to download things from the PStore, make a fake PSN account. I have a japanese, hong kong, american and european and I can download anything from any of these store. To make a account, just enter a fake address when making a new account.
How can I change my PS4 account's country address?
You can change your address from PS4 menu or with any browser: PSN account management. You need to login with your account, of course. However, you can’t change your country/region. It’s perminately locked after you setup your account.So if you want to buy some games that are not available in your country, you have to create a new account. You’ll also need a credit card that is registered at the target country, or the card publisher will refuse to validate. If you don’t have credit cards issued from local bank of that target country, you can buy PSN Wallet points of the specific country from auction sites. Be careful cause lots of them are scams.Alternatively, you can buy game discs. Discs are not regional locked so you can play them with whatever account. Software updates can also be auto downloaded without any problem. However, most DLCs and microtransactions are not cross accounts, with only a few exceptions like Elite: Dangerous. You may still need a foreign account to buy DLC, and switch to that account to access DLC countents. Beware that game progress and trophies are not shared cross accounts too. So you may not be able to use your saves in your main accounts when you switch to your foreign accounts.
How can I get a PlayStation Plus free trial?
You now have to download the PlayStation app on your phone or tablet. Create a new account and then log in to that account on the app on your tablet or phone. Then click on PlayStation plus and it will show you the option to get the 14 day free trial. This is the only way to get it without the two or three month option attached to it. It works just like the old way where you just click on it and agree and Walla you have ps plus for 14 days no other questions asked! :)

If I have a PS4 account whose address is one from US and buy a game from India and get a DLC for that game will it work on my account?
The other answers give a fair idea of the your question, but I guess you’re also looking for solution about playing the game & the DLC then there are a few things you need to keep in mind.PSN account region on PS4 (main account) - now this should ideally be from the region where you live or from where you buy most of your games from. Obviously so that you can easily play the DLCs without issues. As its already pointed out that DLCs are region specific which corresponds to game’s region.Game + DLC issues:- now many a times certain games may not launch in your home region (PSN account region) in which case neither will the game nor the DLC will be listed in the region’s PSN store. In this case you need to create an alternate id with a different region & then download the game & dlcs from there. Sometimes certain elements of a DLC may be different for different regions (for many reasons related country’s censor or other such guidelines).Game available unofficially: Now in some cases physical copy of the game is available at your stores even though game is not officially launched. (eg. Xenoverse & Xenoverse2 for India), you can still play the game without issues but may not access any DLCs further & you’ll be most likely only able to play offline. So if you’re with such a case then you’ll need to see the region in the game disc, create PSN account with the same region, and update the game with all the downloads too. But you need not worry, you need not play with the same account as once you download your DLCs all other accounts on the same PS4 will be able to access the DLCs without any issues.which brings to another bigger problem with PSN… i.e. you’re unable to buy content on PSN store with credit card of paypal from a different region. i.e. you can’t buy anything on US-PSN with your Indian CC or paypal.But there’s a workaround to this, you can buy PSN wallet credit from third-party online sites like Offgamers, Amazon, SEA Gamer Mall | Global Digital Online Game Store & Play-Asia. I can vouch for Offgamers as I’ve used them & there are pretty good ratings for Play-Asia & SEA Gamers as well. So you buy PSN Wallet credit with digital codes for different regions from these sites & from this credit you can purchase from the region specific PSN stores you wish & play all your favourite games.Hope this clears your doubts & gives you a solution too.
Do I really need to register my address on the PS3 Network, and why?
You don't NEED to put it on, but technically it goes against Sony's Terms of Service. I didn't put it on, but I had a very logical reason as to why (which they accepted.) Just put random words in each bar where it says Address 1, 2, and 3 and it will work. Then just put a random postal code. Hope that helps.
