I finally found the right time to make the switch. Thanks to Areku's great guides, it made it seem all the more possible. While Swap Magic 3 seems to work, I wanted to do it officially without any risk. Having sold my Japanese PlayStation 2 years ago (high school income at the time, plus minor console issues) I'll have to complete the following:

Japanese PlayStation 2
Biohazard Outbreak
Biohazard Outbreak File: 2
KDDI Account

Ironically, the only Japanese titles in the series I am missing is Gun Survivor 3, Outbreak and Outbreak File: 2. Thanks to this, it'll give me the needed push to finally finish off that area in my collection.

I know it may seem uninteresting to some, but being a huge fan of the Outbreak titles and dearly missing online play, this is very exciting for me.

Good luck. Hope to play with you there soon.

Thanks Nubcat, I look forward to it as well.

Seraph, I hope your transition goes smoothly.


I ended up purchasing the new SCPH-90000 model in Cinnabar Red. Seemed somewhat fitting for a console that will receive much Outbreak love.

That. Is. Awesome.

Heh. I have the same version, In silver though.

It seems everything went smoothly, received my KDDI account ID. (No e-mail)

I clicked option (A) after registering which prompted me to log in and then sent me to a blank registration screen. Doubt I could reset the account that easily, so I won't worry much.

However I do have one question. Where do I log in for my account information? I'll need to update my credit card information soon along with my e-mail.

I have no idea. I just stick with the same credit card (I have a whole card simply for paying for the server).

I don't think you can change account information. You could cancel then remake the account, though.

With the same ID's?
