Default UK PS3 in Oz! It needs help!

Hi everyone, haven't been on here since we arrived in Melbourne. Things going well but the PS3 is needing some immigration help.

Obviously a UK PS3, is there a way of setting it to become an Oz PS3 in the sense that it will pick up the Yahoo7! internet channel or other web based services like iPlayer?

Cheers
Olly

Have you connected it to the internet, I keep mine virtually in the UK (via a VPN) so I can watch iPlayer, ITV and 4OD here.

As yours will have an Aus IP address it should behave like an Aus PS3 (so iPlayer won't work), maybe you also need to create an Australian PS3 Network account?

You need to create a new PSN account for Australia, you cant transfer your UK account to Aus.

Cheers, will this effect the original account on the PS3, there is a lot of saved stuff on the original one? Don't want to lose it at all.
