Hey SCEE, i would like to play some PSN titles, too. The PS3 is available since 1 year and 4 months here in europe and i'm still not able to buy anything from the PlayStation Store. GIVE US EUROPEANS PSN CARDS ALREADY! It can't be that hard to generate some numbers, print them on cards and fucking sell them!

And no, a CC is not an option for me.

Why?

 

[TONX]

An interesting bit...
I recall hearing something about the next Home updating including a XMB icon.

Maybe they updated Home, let me go check.

Not happening.

Yaaaaaaay, PJE Ready! Install in progress.

Buy one of those gift cards that work just like credit cards.

I don't think there is something like this here in germany. Don't know for sure, though.

Why?

Because i don't want a CC only for the PSN.

Don't they have debit cards in europe...? That's how I pay for anything that requires a CC.

SCEA only has PSN Cards in the Midwestern part of the U.S. (a few states) and military bases. They aren't widespread here.

I did hear somewhere (I dunno how true it is) that someone has PSN Cards at their retailer in Europe (Take this with a huge grain of salt), but cannot be sold yet since SCEE is trying to figure out how they will deal with currency (since U.K. and Germany for an example use a different currency; therefore, they'd have to distribute separate PSN Cards). Let's just say SCE sticking to currency has been more trouble than expected (because within the U.S., due to using currency in some states, people will get taxed on PSN since they state law requires tax on online purchases). And then they also have to create various cards for various currencies too.

My debit card never works for this kind of stuff, cause they all ask for the security code/CCV and my debit card doesn't have one. Luckily we have a service in Portugal called MBNet that creates virtual credit cards for internet purchases, works like a charm on all regions.

FFS! 150 yen for the entire pack of costumes? That's not too bad... but why isn't it available in Europe too?

What?

German debit cards don't work on the PSN? My debit card does. Although I'm not German.

I don't think.

*checks*

No.

I only have a Maestro debit card and no, it doesn't work for PSN because it doesn't have the informations that you have to fill in the fields.

Surely the security is the 3 digits on the back of the card?

I use my Maestro debit card no problems on my euro account, the only stuff you need besides the card number obviously are the start/end dates and the last 3 digits of the number on the back.....

My debit card doesn't have those 3 digits

I also tried the last 3 from the card number and that didn't work either.

Seriously, get a better card.

What the hell are you doing with only a Maestro?

so is it a debit card without a credit card company logo?

It's a VISA Electron
