AoA guys, I am going to buy a PS4 very soon but I have one question. Is it possible that a game downloaded through a Master US PSN id can be played on sub account with UK PSN id??? And if yes which servers will it connect to, US or UK??? I ask this because from what I've read, US PSN has cheaper content but UK PSN has better network with much lower pings.

From what I've read: UK Sub accounts will work just fine. It should automatically connect you to the server with the least pings (usually UK/ South East Asia) but in some games like Mortal Kombat X it will connect you to the region of the game.

Yes you can. Disks are region free BUT you can only download Region 2 DLCs for a Region 2 Disk.
So entertain this scenario, I have region 2 PS4. With 2 PSN IDs. Master ID is US and sub is UK.
If i buy a region 1 disk then I can download content using the master id and if i buy a region 2 disk then I can download using the UK ID on the sub account.
Is there any problem with this method???

No problem. BUT
If you download the DLC using your region 2 (non master) account then you can't play the DLC on the Region 1 master account. On the other hand if you get a DLC on your main account set as primary then all sub accounts (Region 1 or 2 or 3) can play the DLC.

So I ordered my PS4 through Jshak, should get it tomorrow, IA. I opted to not go for PS+ straight away, I wanted to see how the connection is. I wanted to know if I can install game patches without PS+ ???

I have created one US PSN account and its my master one. Now when ever I try to create a new account it say that I have to go to parental control>create sub account but the problem is that any sub account has the same region as master account i.e US. I want to make a UK region account. How can I do this??? [MENTION=25535]frazgta[/MENTION]

You have to create another master account; not a sub account.

Create it here:
https://account.sonyentertainmentne...ate-account!input.action?request_locale=en_GB

You will need fake UK address etc. You can get it from here:
Generate a Random Name - Random, England/Wales, United Kingdom - Fake Name Generator

Now you can login using the account you created. Instructions here:

Having two master accounts means that I whatever content I buy with the 1st Master acc wont be available on the other Master account, correct???
Thanks once again.

So can someone help me? I just bought a PS4 and I'm worried about it bcz of power outages. As you know in Pakistan, that is very common. Today I was shutting down my PS4 when the light went and it abruptly turned off. Although I have a UPS, there is usually a little bit of interval before it kicks in so my PS4 had and incoorect turn off. Should I be worried? And is it safe to run it on UPS. Sometimes the light goes unscheduled so is there any chance of my PS4 getting damaged. Help!

I am about to buy a PS4. Should I buy a 500 GB model or 1 TB? I would like to save money if I can. And I don't plan on playing many games simultaneously.
