PlayStation Network Problems Across Europe

There are problems but not with getting 'free' items from the store
most problems are things like not being able to add funds to
our ps store account and not being able to register
our card details, I have experienced BOTH and it is really
annoying, I am hopeing it will be fixed soon or someone
finds a was around the errors that display

From the United Kingdom , England

I had this problem but instead of pressing "add funds" I just clicked button at bottem with says "Purchase" and it worked....

I've got this problem. First day i get my PS3 Slim, i'm kinda checkin it out you know? ;D I try going to the PS Store, no problems at all, downloaded the trial of Battlefield 1943, which is awesome by the way. Anyhoo, i then tried to log into the PS Store a week later, and i get this error: "This service is not available in your country/region". I was like, What the heck? I was on the Store a week earlier and as a matter of fact, 2 days earlier. What the hell is going on?

Well I live in the U.K and have had my 60gig Ps3 for a couple of years now. I've never had problems with Playstaion store until today I tried to connect and it gave me the message, "not recognised in your country/region!" Mine is a totally unmodified system so this is definately a Sony problem.
