itunes Help

this is really frustrating me, I want to purchase tunes and audiobooks from itunes USA even though iam based in th UK.

I already have a uk account but cannot use this.

They seem to have a better selection and is also cheaper.

It seems that I need a credit card registered in the USA, any idea how I can get one of these ?

Can anybody please help.

    Isn't one of the options in the US Itunes paypal?

    Though I don't know how far they'd go into checking if your paypal account was British or not :confused:

    Yeah tried the paypal thing, wouldn't accept it due to my paypal account being linked to a UK bank account.
