The best way to buy games from PlayStation Network (PSN) is by using the PSN cards.

Unfortunately, even-though the PlayStation is region unlocked the PSN account is region locked. Each and every PSN region store has its advantage as well as disadvantage. 
But they are out of the scope of this post.

What we will cover in this post is:

• Usage of PSN card.
• How to get the PSN card if you are not in the region (including the best source to get one).

Usage of PSN card:

Advantage:

1. Don't have to provide the Credit Card details to PSN.
2. Can get support from Sony for issues with the card (if in case any issue pops up, which is very very rare)
3. Money is credited to wallet in your account which comes in handy in times of cash crunch (especially if you are college student). 
4. Can top up your PSN account from anywhere in the world, if you have the PSN card code.

Disadvantages:

1. PSN cards are region based.
2. Can't use the region card with a different region account.
3. PSN cards manufactured for a particular region is available in that particular region only, most of the time.

 How to get the PSN card if you are not in the region (including the best source to get one)

Let us see how we can tackle the disadvantages we mentioned above.
PSN cards are region based.

• This limitation only restricts you from getting the proper PSN card if you are in a different region than the region in which you have created your account. But we can easily obtain PSN card code via email by purchasing the digital PSN card from a reputed online vendor. Digital mean that the seller will email you the code (which is all you need).

 Can't use the region card with a different region account.

• Since all you need is the PSN card code, you can buy them online as stated before.

PSN cards manufactured for a particular region is available in that particular region only, most of the time.

• Why worry about this when you can get the cards online.

Buying the PSN card (digital) online:

The real question is how to buy a PSN card (digital) online by paying a modest amount for the card.
There are many online sites who sell the PSN cards online. But most of them are very costly.
Since we had already shelled out much money for our PlayStation lets us try saving some money in this area.
Higher cost necessarily mean higher safety in the purchase.

After much trial and error, I had found the perfect site to buy the PSN cards. It is called play-asia. 

Direct links are as follows:

Again, go for Digital, it is fast and cheaper.

Why buy from this site?

Well, for one thing, they have been in business for a long time and their reputation is awesome.

Second, I myself have tried buying from them and it works perfectly fine.

Third, compared to other online sellers they are quite reasonable in their pricing.

Fourth, their response from the support team is awesome.

Hope this post helps you guys.
