If I login to a PS4 from a different region to my PSN account can I use a payment method from the the PS4s region to make purchases on my account?

I have a PSN account set to a different region than I am currently in, so I am unable to buy PS Plus.

Can I log in with my account on my friend's device that is set to my current region, subscribe to PS Plus, and then login with this account on my own device so PS Plus will be active?

Best Answer

No you can't do this.

Your account is associated with the region not the PS4 so even if you login to your friend's PS4 it will still ask for a payment method from the region of your account.

I'm assuming the problem is that you no longer have a valid payment method from your original region.

If you no longer have a way to pay from the same region as your PSN account there are a couple of things you can do.

Set up a new account on your PS4 for the new region and buy PS Plus on this account. This is easy to do and you can still access PS Plus features on your old account but you will loose access to any free PS Plus games that are associated with your old account.
Buy PSN Gift cards from your original region online and use the credit to buy the PS Plus subscription on you original account.

Yes. By connecting to a VPN server in another country, you will get a valid IP address there. This will allow you to access a foreign PlayStation store to purchase games.

Can I use the same PlayStation Network accounts on different PS4?

You can use your PlayStation Network account on two PS4s. You need to log in your PS Network credentials in two PS4s. After that, you can set up the other PS4 as your primary account, which would automatically tag the other PS4 as the secondary account, which would require an internet connection.
