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.

you skipped the billing address? how?

i just notice this post.


Nope...i've even try the Gold Card. no avail. Only worked for SG PSN

kalo Amex selalunya lepas .


rasa cam nak angkat satu ja Amex

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

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

thanks for the info guys...i will try to update the first page sooner

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?

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

want to update that based on several report on the net, it seem PSN US already block Entropay card...and it look like this one gonna be a permanent one as some report said they going to do the Address Verification Check for all card

updated the 1st & 2nd posts with new info

is it? last time i use it kinda take around 1 minute for the code to arrive. i guess it depend on the email server.

people i asked said it kinda expensive but it all is just a relative term. expensive or not is all depend on the buyer. if you're stingy or in a polite term "value the money" even extra USD2 will make a huge difference people who previously use Entropay only need to pay extra USD 1 for USD20 topup..cant blame them for making noise about it

last time i check it still usable... but that was 1 year ago

thanks dude for the info.

for others, make sure it was "Sold by Amazon Digital Services, Inc." or else the card will be posted to your address
