Why that address and not some other random US Address?

Because Best Buy says so. Click the link. This has been tested working.

I'm alerting the authorities for suspicious activity to this address.

You can buy $20 and $50 wallet funds and use them in the store if that's what you're asking.

Theoretically, yes.

Got it thanks.

Does this not work with Xbox Live downloads? (Canada)

Just make sure to choose the digital code and not the physical card. Best Buy has both and the digital code are the ones sent through email.

fernoca · Feb 9, 2012

Are the cards on sale or something?

Looking at the info, it seems that you can buy anything (online-code related) with that address, not just PSN codes. And that the "news" if anything are that international orders can buy stuff without problems and that online orders can go through by using that address.

That's exactly it. This is for those from other countries who'd like to buy content from the US PSN store without a US credit card. Some people already used that and was credited with exactly how much the conversion is. No need for third parties that take a fee from you like maximuscards.com.

It'd be nice if there was a JP equivalent of this.

Best Buy recommends that anyone who is buying online products outside the states to use that address (It's their district office so they know that they don't have to ship the product, etc etc). You can even order a store pickup and use that address as long as you can come to the states and pick it up.

Tobor · Feb 9, 2012

Why this address?

Edit:NM, answered already.

Maybe this?

carpediemdp · Feb 9, 2012

This has happened for a while already. I've been purchasing iTunes and PSN codes from BestBuy with my CC for a couple of months and I live in South America. I thought this was common knowledge. Apparently it is not. I used to buy them from Amazon, actualy, but shortly after the PSN shit last year they stopped selling codes. Enjoy while it last 'cause it's pretty simple and awesome!

I actually prefer Amazon because they have codes for more games and credits. Still this works as you can just buy the wallet funds and use them in the store.

Wario64 · Feb 9, 2012

I wonder if international people can sign up for reward zone. You can be getting money back if you buy shitloads of cards

DonMigs85 · Feb 9, 2012

nice, no need to put up with maximuscard's extra costs now.

Yep, this is freaking great. So much money saved.

Yaska · Feb 9, 2012

Thanks for this, no need to wait for EU release of Jak & Daxter \o/

Castor Krieg · Feb 9, 2012

This is huge, especially with Vita coming right now and stupid 1 account thing. I live in Europe, my main account is the US one, PSN is the only way I can get Super Stardust and Escape Plan.

DonMigs85 · Feb 9, 2012

Does this work for Xbox and Nintendo points too?

Yaska · Feb 9, 2012

Well guess they ran out of codes. almost 5 hours wait and still nothing heh.

Stuart444 · Feb 9, 2012

Great, this may come in handy when I get Tales of Graces f in March assuming Namco puts up DLC from it

benny_a · Feb 9, 2012

Thanks. Very useful information! US PSN has often better deals, so it's welcome.

jsnepo · Feb 9, 2012

Did you buy the code or the physical card? Best Buy has both. The card will be shipped. The code will be sent through email.

Unai · Feb 9, 2012

South america here and I already buy digital psn cards from best buy. It has saved me a lot of money.

magawolaz · Feb 9, 2012

Thanks OP. Catherine here I come

Katana_Strikes · Feb 9, 2012

Woo will have to try this.

Do they email the code straight away?

Edit:

Or maybe not

Like jsnepo mentioned, he may have ordered the physical card by mistake.

Ashler · Feb 9, 2012

Just a thought but I would change the OP subject to " Buy US PSN codes from BestBuy.com (Can be ordered from outside the US)".

People may think that the OP means that the codes work for non US-PSN accounts.

benny_a · Feb 9, 2012

I've also have been waiting for close to 2 hours and have not received it yet.
(I ordered the digital one with the only shipping option being an Email-address.)

Maybe the person who scratches the cards went home for the day.

Katana_Strikes · Feb 9, 2012

What phone number do you put in when creating the billing address?

they were convenient at first but suddenly felt like a rip-off, local prices are still better imo, but will try this out if we can get them close to their real price.

I also became fond of the HK Store since they accept Philippine credit cards.

thehypocrite · Feb 9, 2012

Awesome, just bought 50 dollars that I will use to buy journey plus other stuff. Thanks for the call out. No taxes were charged for my order, great stuff.

dinosaur_hunter2 · Feb 9, 2012

I've used this same method to buy lots of things (and I'm brazilian), not only online codes.

Digital code. Must be a problem with my credit card I guess.

Edit: nope, it's bestbuy. They charged my card :/

Just got it an hour ago.

11:55 UTC+1 -- Bestbuy: We received your order:
19:14 UTC+1 -- Bestbuy: Redeem your digital code:

Dunan · Feb 9, 2012

Wait, is this for non-US credit cards, or people with US credit cards who aren't physically in the US?

(I have both, but want to know which to buy with.)

Edit: And a big arigato for telling us about this!

I have a german credit card that used to work (2009) on PSN. That stopped working in either 2010 or 2011 and it worked on Bestbuy.com.

Edit: German Paypal account didn't work. Got the message that the seller isn't accepting foreign accounts in the transaction.

Yaska · Feb 9, 2012

Finland, Finnish card, worked, just had to wait for 12 hours.

Sagitario · Feb 9, 2012

I have been using this for a while now

Yeah a couple of times for me now too, had to find an alternative when Amazon stopped selling PSN codes online, I though there was a discount or something

zinder · Feb 9, 2012

I just did this for the first time about 6 hours ago. Still no code. I went to OffGamers.com instead and recieved my code within literally 20 seconds (not even joking)

Scared of canceling my order on BestBuy since they already charged the money from my bank.
