I was going to buy a PS4 until I realized I can't buy anything with my current account as the account was created on my PS3 while in Brazil. Now I'm in the USA and I can't change anything because the money here is USD and my account is Brazil. Sony doesn't allow us to change Regions so now I can only purchase stuff with my account in Brazil using Brazilian credit card. Basically my account is useless in the USA and I have to create a new one. I don't even think I can purchase PS plus to get the online to work on the PS4...WOW
How stupid? Seriously all those trophies and stats just go to waste after so many years on the PS3? Every other company allows me to change region, Amazon, steam, you name it. But Sony don't? HORRIBLE definitely not buying a PS4 because I'm not about to create a new account.
I'm just going to stick with PC from now on.
edit: some people with the issue as me:

and there's a petition for it too...
