No, PS3 accepts major Japanese credit cards. There's a big difference.

That picture has a bright future in all "ZOMG $600" posts.

Wow, microtransactions in a new whole level.

INSERT YOUR REAL CREDIT CARD HERE BITCHES.

Card reading = Printing money?

Money is printed on paper in case you were wondering.

Or stamped into coins. :)

That is pretty good. Makes microtransactions easier and worse at the same time!

Since there isn't enough overtime in the world, we'll throw in a credit card reader.

PLAYSTATION®3. Pay Beyond.

They're really earning that 'Pay Beyond' nick, aren't they? :p

The kicker is I wonder if they charge you to purchase the reader :P

crunker99 · (01-25-2007, 06:28 PM)

its just a usb card reader or am i mistaken? they have been around for ages

In looks greedy and microtransaction focused console with that add-on but seriously, they are the only ones using REAL MONEY in their store.
Points are something worse and greedier (if that word exist) than credit card readers imo.

That's so you can conveniently make payments from home on the financing plan you used to purchase your PS3.

Maarten Jalink · (01-25-2007, 06:38 PM)

The name 'Edy' makes you wanna buy it, doesn't it?

Doesn't seem that much easier than putting in your info once and selecting it again.

teruterubozu · (01-25-2007, 07:10 PM)

Now you can use your dad's credit card!
