Hey guys, I need some advice on PSN cards.
I want to get Dark Mist and 2 PS1 games Einhander and Rakugaki Showtime.
I want to get the English version of Dark Mist, and of course the 2 PS1 games will be from the JPN store.
Here's my dilemma, I know that Dark Mist is available in English in the UK, Austrian, and HK stores. PSN cards from the UK are ONLY in denominations of 20 and 50 pounds respectively. I'd like to get a 100 dollar card for the HK store, since the game and its add-on are only around 88 HK "space bucks". And I didn't want too much wasted money sitting on that card if I never buy anything from there again. Which is why I don't really want to go for a 200 HK card.
Second problem is this, what is the best denomination for Japanese yen on PSN cards? I know the PS1 games I want are 600 yen a piece, so a 1000 yen card won't suffice. I can live without Einhander, since I already have the US/JPN versions, but I wanted to be able to play it more conveniently (I just really want to see the picture galleries that I haven't seen on my JPN version yet, which are different then the US version) and to be able to play it easier on my system.
The same thing with my copy of Rakugaki Showtime, I have a physical version, I just want to actually be able to play it easier than breaking out the PS1 and all that hassle of setting it up to play it. (Plus my PAR doesn't work anymore as it is, so unless I go emulator on PC, I can't play it on a console, and I'd like to play multiplayer sometime)
I know a 3000 yen card would be the best option, but I didn't want to spend that much at the moment. (Can't really think of 5 PS1 games I want off of their store anyway)
So anybody who has or who does buy from either or both stores have any suggestions?
What might be the best places to buy without getting ripped off? (So far the going rate is about $5 over cost on JPN PS1 1000 yen cards, or $16 for approx. a $10 card)
Ditto for the 200 HK cards (same price), since I can't find any 100 or 150 HK cards available anywhere to buy (which is what I'd prefer or a 5 pound UK card, which is unfortunately not available to buy).
I looked at Playasia, Ebay (US/UK) National Console Support, and I'm kinda outta options. Anybody have any extra points they'd be willing to sell at a fair price?
