i was sceptical of using it as i was finding alternative ways to register when i decided just to see if it works. I tried a couple of english and nonenglish countries and it didnt work. After i signup on the PS3 with the new account you just get a msg "You cannot access this feature until the PS3 launches in your region!" Not sure if it will work, worth waiting till march or if the layout of the site will be same.

thanks for the help i guess ill upgrade my firmware after work.
