ISSUES


American Axpress Card No Longer Usable.

Based on the source from Official Sony Playsation Forum, it seem SCEA has impose AVS(Address Verification System) for all credit card used in US PSN. All card that was not issued from USA wont be accepted into the system which means Maybank Amex user are screwed


Entropay

Sony finally has blocked Entropay from being used for US PSN. any futher attempt is FUTILE unless Sony backed down & let others use Entropay into US PSN. But the issue wont settle since Sony has issue an AVS for all the card keyed into the system. Now we're double screwed








Hope & Alternatives

Since the only method that Sony permitted us to use is tru US PSN Card, there are 3 options now;

OPTION 1: Buy from your favorite seller/online store in LY.N Garage Sales

Some seller like pbbseller(Impulse Megastore) & others sell US PSN card at a decent price and some reported that you'll get the code sms'd to you in 1 minute(source Mgsrulz).
Even Gamershideout carry this card albeit a bit expensive compare to the rest but nonetheless it still consider convenient compare to the rest of the 2 option


OPTION 2: Buy from Play-Asia or Amazon

If you fancy to get the physical card with you then you can look for this 2 alternative site. There's others online shopping site offer the card but bear in mind that you need to pay the posting expenses for the item (except for PA)


OPTION 3: Buy from maximuscards.com or Ebay seller

Maximuscards.com provide convenience for those who have paypal account and based on my experience, the codes will be send to you via email around 1-2 minutes. But keep in you mind that the price are bit expensive.

if you buying from ebay, MAKE SURE you read the TRANSACTION DETAILS first. If there's something like "i'll email you the new username & password...blabla BS BS.." i can say is it's 90% scam and your PS3 are in the risk to be banned by Sony. sure, you still get the USD150 for the price of USD50, but if the seller use a stolen Credit Card to fund money to the account then your PS3 MAC address will be banned and you're force to play PS3 game offline. Keep in mind that there's only USD10, USD20 & USD50 card are OFFICIALLY from Sony. There's no USD150 card or winning from lucky draw or whatever BS they may say . i know there's some legitimate seller using this method but my advise is, better safe than sorry

back to the point, there's some seller in Ebay selling the code just like maximuscards with the price range difference around 1-3 dollar cheaper and transaction usually take around 5 minutes depending who the seller is and what his dealing method(verification email and such). the only issue in this method is TRUST. if you want to try out, start with USD10 first to experiment the seller's responsiveness


OPTION 4: Buy from Amazon.com

Amazon now offer 10,20 & 50 USD PSN code. it work just like maximus card without the extra charges(the code will be prompt on the screen after payment is complete). You can buy directly using credit card but make sure the seller is "Amazon Digital Services, Inc." as you can see the word Sold by Amazon Digital Services, Inc. below the product. Why this is matter coz others than Amazon Digital Services, Inc. PSN cards are actually selling the physical card that will be posted to your address with a shipping fee.

The catch? it need US address as the item restriction is set for US resident only. but fear not, you can register vPost account (http://www.vpost.com/malaysia/) and create a US address for you. I dunno whether you can just use random US address from google search or not.

IINM ive read a few months/years ago that someone managed to buy things using non-uk credit card from eu psn

tried searching but couldnt find the post

This is the credit card that I've been using for all my PSN purchases for my SG PSN ID. No problems so far.

PSN Region : Singapore
Debit/Credit Card Name : Citibank Choice
Debit/Credit Card Type : MASTERCARD
Card Issuer Name : Citibank

Hope this helps. Cheers!

dude im trying to buy UK PSN using CIMB Credit card.. but always show i put invalid information.. thats mean cannot? zzzzzzz

thank bro...will update the info later

yup if it say invalid information, means you cannot use it

This post has been edited by K-End: Jun 3 2009, 09:30 AM

Awww thx.. hard to get SF4 Full custom Add-on T_T for Region 2... anyone got slot to share? will pay some

PSN Region : Singapore
Debit/Credit Card Name : Maybank Petronas Visa
Debit/Credit Card Type : VISA
Card Issuer Name : Maybank
Billing Address : MY address except for country which is singapore

Got the CC today , buy super street fighter HD just now

I'm using the same CC with nagakecik but the different is I skipped the billing address and its working. Bought new map of Killzone 2 and other games in PSN...

you skipped the billing address? how?

HSBC Credit Card ok with SG PSN.

This how I get goodies from all 3 regions!
UK PSN - Ask mum to credit my account (can't find another way)
US PSN - using Tunemoney visa card linked to Entropay.
SG PSN - using Tunemoney visa directly!

I suggest pals refrain from buying R2 titles especially if they plan to be getting DLC unless they have a way to purchase from one of the European PSN stores, in which case they should share the knowledge!

maybe using the default fake sg address

USABLE
PSN Region : SG
Debit/Credit Card Name : RHB EVO Mastercard
Debit/Credit Card Type : MASTERCARD
Card Issuer Name : RHB Bank
Billing Address : Malaysian Address, Except Country SG

Using for 2 years already I think, first with PSP Games via PC then bought PS3 and using PS3 Store


BTW
Does Entropay still work for US PSN?

during registration SG account, I gave them f@ke address/postcode in SG.. After finished my shopping with PSN SG, just fill up all your CC details. When the billing address pop up, just skip it. Done.. I do believe that for SG PSN, Malaysian CC is widely acceptable. Not like PSN EU, I tried so many CC (visa and mastercard). All failed.. not sure about Amex

Entropay works on US PSN
Downloading FF7 now

Hi TheFalcon,

thanks.

Updated
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=26301527

www.entropay.com use this virtual visa card , link it to ur real credit card , transfer fund from ur real credit card to the virtual entropay visa card, input the details of the virtual entropay visa card into psn US billing details.

in psn us billing address use fake US address preferably from alaska cause that state no sale tax.

i tried my citybank gold but failed again...

Added on June 7, 2009, 9:11 pmthanks, will try later. you mean after i register the entro, it will give me some number like cc card number and i just need to key in the us psn store credit card billing details?

This post has been edited by AstonCheah: Jun 7 2009, 09:11 PM

I have been using American Express (Maybank) flawlessly over the US PSN. To get the transaction authorized, for Billing Address use your real one especially the Postal Code field - that's very important to go through the authentication gateway. Just use a US City & State to get through PSN's server code.

Just to share with you on its acceptance. And on the other hand locally, since its business acquisition by Maybank, its acceptance has greatly improved, tapping on the banks' vast merchant network.

maybe they hv changed the way we filled the postcode area on the form, try what rawfish suggested....
btw, i've registered my CC info to US PSN in the early 2007, maybe since then they hv tried to cover the so-called loopholes...

ya
its a virtual card
name will be ENTROPAY USER
and got own number, CRC and expiry
use all the details inside
then ok di

if i transfer my RM 50 from my cc to entro, after use up RM50 can i top up again?

Added on June 8, 2009, 9:47 pmi think i will try entropay since i don't have maybank cc... thanks you guys for the info

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me if the following works ? :

1. New Entropay account to do purchase at US PSN. (I heard there are not much problem with old accounts but not sure about newly registered ones)

2. Does the newly launch RHB Cash Connect Visa Debit Card work on SG PSN (cause MY PSN stuff is expensive + my old RHB Cash Connect Master Debit Card don't work anymore ). If not does any RHB bank credit card work ?

Thanks.

yeah.. it works with new registration.. i did mine..

Thanks wandiana. I will try it when I have the time. Now all I need to know if the RHB Bank credit card work with SG PSN....

sweet!!! Now I learn something new. Entropay, sounds convenient!!! but how does the conversion rate calculate by the way?

the conversion rate based on the current rate between Ringgit & USD

hello guys, thanks to you all. I managed to purchase PSN FF8 this morning through Entropay.

but there is something I need clarification,
I had loaded USD 20.00 into my Entropay then I proceeded to purchase FF8 at USD 9.99 (chose Alaska hence no taxes), but then when I checked back my Entropay account, my balance has became only USD 9.01.

Meaning to say, bought FF8 alone cost me USD 10.99!!

Then I looked at the Entropay fees structure again, I don't think it has mentioned anything like extra charges upon purchasing right?

So, may I know for those who has experience with Entropay, does Entropay apply any hidden charges to you everytime you purchase online using their services?

thanks for any clarification

USABLE

Maybank Amex - auto-populate billing address usable. Confirmed by aiman04 (v4, 116, 2320)

can i just ask whats the meaning on auto-populate billing address?? does it mean it doesn't check my address that i've registered on my US PSN account? i did register a valid US address and postcode ....

my maybank amex is the classic one .. i havent tried it yet.

anyone tried Tune money prepaid card on US PSN yet?
i want to try but dunno how to put the billing address

i dont know about auto-populate billing address usable .. but

as i know amex is " American express " . so its usable around the world , so psn wont check ur address if u use amex , u can use amex for any psn acc , i personally tested with psn us , so far no problem .. my friend using it for psn us , uk and jpn , yes 1 amex card for 3 psn acc ..

Pakcik beli top up dari lowyat members jer untuk US PSN Store... mudah dan cepat dan murah

pakcik murah ke ?

berape selalu pakcik beli ?

if i use CC amex .. 10 usd = Rm10 X 3.4 ( ikut current rate ) = 34

kalau 20 Usd = RM68 ( if i use CC amex )

any idea wether maybank visa debit card will work on us/uk/sg/my psn?

tried using my new maybank debit visa card. No luck.

use ENTROPAY for US PSN.

entropay only convert MY currency to foreign right?but i want to buy add-on for r3 games and i dont want to buy PSN MY card......so,i hv no choice unless using cc???

maybank visa debit card work on MY psn

how to do it?i already put the detail but when want to confirm it said invalid info....

what about the address??

could moderator pin this thread? I see its plays as a good guide for PS3 user who owns a credit card.

yup! we need this thread for future reference......

as the Thread Starter, i also agree with that but by looking at the bigger picture, better not.

Let the pinned topic focus on general issue/faq rather than this specific portion of PSN and the TS of the pinned PS3 FAQs for Beginner thread has kindly put the link of this topic inside it.

in worst case scenario, i'll be the one who gonna reply the person who ask question regarding the CC usage and ask him to go to the link at my siggy

hi bro... just to confirm with u... u use Amex Gold Credit Card or Charge Card?
frm the picture... it looks like Amex Gold Credit Card... just want confirmation b4 i apply for it...

my malaysian visa and mastercards both work fine on the SG PSN.

any1 had tried using the RHB and Maybank debit card? can or not? tq

i use the same address with my maybank banking address

For those with MY or SG credit card, always check your bill later and see how much they ALSO charge you for cross border conversion fee when using it on foreign PSN (eg. UK, US, JPN, etc). Don't be naive and the banks aren't stupid and they also want to make money with those extra fees for currency exchange. This is not the same thing as conversion rate itself. Some credit cards have this, some may not, and a lot of them hid them in fine print. It depends your credit card - check with your banks!

it is cheaper for me to use my credit cards on the PSN than for me to actually exchange money from a money changer. what you have said is not always true.

i just bought a USD$5 in US PSN using my amex cc... in my bill it charge me RM16.43...
using the amex currency converter here...
after converted USD$5 = RM16.04... amex will charge 2.5% to the total of the conversion value... it is 25 cent for every RM10...
so... for RM16.04 * 2.5% = 40 cent... total is RM16.44 and they charge RM16.43 might be because the conversion rate at the time of the charges is lower...

u can decide for yourself for using the cc over the psn or not... make sure u read the agreement of the foreign purchase with the bank dat issue cc to u...

Credit Card infomation not valid

i also tried with Citibank and OCBC.. all also gave me the same error

today i ask another friend to try also same thing... does this mean that SG PSN is no longer accepting malaysian credit cards???

hi guys...

ive been using my Maybank Amex Gold Credit Card in US PSN... all seems ok to me...
but few days ago... some of my US PSN accounts have been suspended...
anybody facing this problem before?
is it because of the Maybank Amex Gold Credit Card or other reason?

i bought Heavy Rain dlc from SG earlier this month..seem ok. will check it out again tonight

is some of your US PSN is a shared account?

yes bro... those account is my shared account... is there a problem using amex credit card for shared account?

thks K-End, do let us know the outcome...

there's nothing wrong with sharing account, but most of the suspended id cases were mainly about you using stolen CC or someone reported the id to Sony coz you arent suppose to buy from US PSN store

well... the first reason is out coz i use my own CC to purchase... and i make sure there is no outstanding balance in my bills...
maybe its the 2nd reason... but who the hell would report to Sony???
or... is Sony have some "pick the unlucky account" program to randomly pick the psn account and check their details (address and names)???

if this the case... maybe we should be carefull when using our CC over the PSN US accounts... dont become a victim like me...
other things dat i can think of is... maybe Sony will check the account details if we made transaction over certain amount?
as for my case... the accounts dat been suspended is with transaction of USD14.99 and above...

what are u guys highest transaction at one time over the PSN US?

sorry if my post is off topic...
