This was discussed a little bit in the PSN thread, but I think this is a notable enough topic that hasn't been publicized enough.
Today, I went on to PSN to use the last $15 in my wallet, when I noticed at the "confirm purchase" page that it was adding tax onto my purchase, something it did not do before. After some searching, I found out that last week, Sony silently added a few states to the "charge sales tax" category of PSN. Obviously, if you live in one of these states, then the simplest way to avoid the tax on your PSN purchases is to change your address to a state that still does not charge tax, like Nevada.
Here's a list of states that I've so far found started charging sales tax last week:
Arizona
Hawaii
Kansas
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
