I have the US disk and therefore the J Playstation Store pack will not work for mine, dunno if there&sa way to do it so it does, but anyways,

I got the pack with ginjapan, who bought a $20 US Playstation card *twice now, once for each pack* for something like $24.95 USD each time using a VISA credit card from this site

www.maximuscards.com

where they will send you a card and password for it through email almost instantaneously *not the physical card, all you need is the number* and you get hte map pack and in 5 mins or so youre ready to go.

The down-side to this is its not exactly the most cash saving method, as you spend $50 bucs for two $20 cards, but what you are paying for is the convenience. As the map packs are 15 bucks or so, there is now some credit left on hte US account we needed to use to get the add-ons from the US Store.

Now I understand that everyone wants the packs, and who wouldnt want to get them for free if it were possible - but from my position, I see it that I wanted to play the new maps but in order to do so, I had to pay for them - extra in fact. That is why its a little difficult to say, here you go, take mine for free have a nice day even if it makes no real difference as I will probably not need to download the packs 4 or 5 times or whatever the max number of downloads is. Dont know whos the *ketchi* in this scenario, really!

Anyways, plz understand that I wont exactly be posting up the account and taking names for who would like to download off of it anytime soon...

not exactly what i was expecting. but yes i understand the situation. im not asking for free handouts for life.

now that i know u got the code # easily through an online site, i will do the same.

although, if money were the key issue here (and i totally feel u there: in reality we are paying like $25 for an already overpriced $15 map pack x 2 (if u get the new one, out July 6) and other future ones...) then there are other paths to take. instead of us each paying that $25 each time (lets say there are 5 of us in japan), we could take turns buying/sharing it. but of course we wont know the next game that all 5 will own, and if packs will be available. but anyways, that is a way to save money for everyone, in fact.

but enough of that. i get ur point. i just want to play them, and that was a possibility (the quickest way) to get them. but ill go with plan B. thx for the input though.

guz: red/ban/dux has them. not sure who else.

i looked up the site, read the quick FAQ, logged into paypal, and SHAAZAAM! the code came in 10 seconds. awesome stuff.

NOW will u play with me?

Kuz: LOL. Nice smilie choice! Or maybe I can bum them off you? (>_<)

I think ban/chu has them too

Thank you & NP on the milkshake! (^_-)b
