I was so annoyed with Apple for this, until finally I discovered your neat little trick. I noticed some people were not getting the "None" option for the credit card. I had the same problem at first. You have to make sure you log out of your current account first, click on a free app and enter the registration process that way. Do no go up to "Store" on the top left of iTunes. For some reason, when I did it that way at first, there was no "None" option. Anyway, thanks again! I can finally get my wife can finally get her puris ;-P Thanks so much for posting this.

Cause I want to get a paid app from the Japan iTunes store but do not have a credit card. Thanks. And also, I can just get the card from any 7-11 store? Thanks.
