Purchase from the USA PSN Video Store with EU located PS3

Following on from yesterdays Access the USA PSN Video Store with EU located PS3 story I thought I would today go through the process of purchasing content from the USA Video store.

With the help of a good friend ds\ I now have the ability to purchase from the American Video Store.

The process of purchasing involves having a valid credit card / entropay / playstation card to be able to debit funds as needed.

You browse the store, select your content and purchase the item(s).
The content is activated as per any other PSN Game download/purchase.

Once the content is “downloading” you can play it as it downloads and also more importantly you can switch user (not american details with no PSN setup in this case) and watch the video.

I have also managed to move away from having the Virtual NIC alias 172.16.0.0 network for the ps3 and have left the ps3 as part of my normal network range. I substitute the iptables NAT rule for 172.16.0.0 to be my static ip of the ps3 and thus it only routes based on that ps3 ip address. All I have to do is change the default gateway on the ps3 to reflect what network gateway I want to use.

Again my gratitude goes out to ds\ for whom without this would have been impossible to test.

Here is the video :-
To protect the innocent I have hidden the PSN user.
Note UK passport as proof to those who didnt believe I am in the UK!
As with both videos on youtube, there is a high quality .mp4 available on the youtube webiste for you too watch.
