I've just posted on another thread (didn't see this one - DOH!):

I'm in the UK, have a Sony bought in the USA 18mths ago and have been using giftcards to buy from the Sony store. I've just tried to access the new store via the old Sony software but it was bounced - frozen until I installed the new software. I did that, stating my country as USA but when it tried to access the store it just went into an endless loop and wouldn't load. I then went to Edit/Preferences and changed the country to UK. I was taken instantly to two options - Waterstones or W H Smith - neither of which I normally use because they are ridiculously expensive.
So, all my remaining credit with the Sony store is gone...stolen, in effect.

I am not a happy bunny.
