How do i sign up to login account

Not sure if this is what your asking, but when u turn PS3 on, there should be an icon that shows up allowing you to login to your account and also, when these icons appear, if u scroll up, there is an additional icon that says "create account" or "sign-in". You will need a credit card, an email account that hasn't previously been used and now, I believe they also require a phone number. Go to create account or create user and follow the instructions there (it's pretty self explanatory). Good luck... And happy gaming.

When I try to sign in I get a message stating "you

It does not allow you because if u sign up with another user account or ps3 it will not allow you to login.

You must login to the user that you used when making PSN account then it will work.

For example I create an account on a guest account and login into mine it wont work because it must be in guest.

My playstation 3 wont accept my bank details

I asked Connie at "First Bank" in Denver, CO. if she'd heard of this problem. She said that about twice a month, someone will come in and a similar problem. She's advised other customers to contact Sony Support about this problem. As far as she knows, nothing has been done.
So, technically, I don't have an solution to your problem. I just thought you'd like to know that others are having it too. I did try my best to solve your issue by putting forth a good effort, but I seem to have fallen short.
