PSN accounts can be created anywhere in the world

[Father President]

*Edit
Since new information has arisen, my perspective has changed.

What will happen now is beyond my control.

It is NOT Sony's fault, it is YOUR individual countries fault for not allowing YOU to play games.

None of you know how to protest correctly. You are fighting Sony on STEAM forums...

Do something actually useful and go protest YOUR government officials to allow you to play games.

SONY will gladly take your money if it weren't for YOUR government oppressing YOU.


*Edit
I have reported everyone that resorted to insults and name calling.

Doesn't matter, we shouldn't need another service to have our information

That's a lot of words to say: PSN accounts ARE restricted in some places around the world.

No duh, Captain Obvious.

The countries outside of them cannot, because they have to use a currency of approved country to create an account.

You need a PSN account, not access to its service.

Please explain what part is backpedaling.

Please provide proof of a country you are not able to create a PSN account.

Read Sony TOS.

3.1. All information provided during Account creation, and during the use of your Account, must be accurate and complete. We reserve the right to suspend, terminate or restrict any Account (including as stated in Section 12.2 of this Agreement) that uses or was created using false information, or that we determine was created or used for a purpose that violates this Agreement.

3.2. During Account creation you must select the country or region of your residence and in which your account will be registered in. Once your account is created, you will not be able to change the country or region code associated with your account.

12.2. Suspension or Termination by SIE. With or without notice, we may restrict, suspend or terminate your PSN Account and PlayStation Device, or indefinitely restrict, suspend or discontinue your access to or, or use of, certain PSN Content, offerings, features, products and services, if you violate this Agreement or we have a reasonable belief such a violation has or will occur, or as otherwise may be reasonably necessary to protect our PSN users, our partners, our platform, or other SIE interests.

You can only register through their available countries. They only have 69 supported countries. The only way around this is to use a VPN to register for another country you are not a part of.

If you want more proof here you go. Here is list of countries that cannot use PSN.

Nothing is said about restrictions that pertain to creating a PSN account.

If I missed something, please highlight and share the statement that pertains to PSN account creation.
