Loophole To Download Tekken 5 On The PS3 Network
Can’t wait to get your hands on Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection for the PS3? Well, there is a little loophole that allows you to download the Japan-only release of the game in other regions. This trick works for now, but who knows how long Sony will allow this trick to work. It’s worth a try for now. GamersReports has all of the juicy details:
Firstly, you need to add a new user to your PS3. Keep in mind it cannot be a new sub user, it has to be a new user from scratch. Go ahead and add all the credit card information, and when it asks for the country pick Hong Kong, and choose any city. Remember, all of the information will be the same except city and country.
After you have created this new account that has a Hong Kong city and country, go all the way to the right on the main PS3 screen and choose account management. Then choose transaction management, then manage wallet, then add funds. When you add money remember it will be in HK dollars. If you go directly to the PS3 store and try to buy Tekken, it will not work because any amount over $50 dollars and Sony will check if the home address matches the home address the credit card has on file.
In order to get around this, add $40 HK dollars to your wallet twice, then go into the PS3 Store and purchase Tekken 5. From there, it will ask you if you want to add more funds to your account, (example $45 HK dollars). This brings you to a total of $125 HK dollars which is roughly equivalent to $15 USD, enough to purchase Tekken 5. Enjoy!
Let us know if anyone gets this trick to work, I’m dying to know.

Toots I don’t know if you remember coming into the chat last night or not but I said I had a “postive” ps3 story for you and this was it :p
I own a PS3 and I downloaded Tekken 5 via this method Tuesday night. Runs great, mostly everything is in English (cept the subtitles which sucks)
It is a GREAT game for anyone who has a ps3 and since I hadn’t played Tekken since the third one was like a totally new game to me.
I wonder if Sony is going to sue themselves for allowing this, cause it seems its almost the same as lik-sang. Yeah that rhetorical joke failed.
