Any alternative to credit card??

[Coffin87]

hi..

i live in the eu, and with warhawk coming out in just a few days, i decided i'd rather download it, so i don't have to wait a few more weeks. (i'm not into headsets.)

the only problem is, i own no credit card. so my simple question is: is there any paying method alternatively to the credit card method?
something like "uploading" money to your account to spend it as you want..

(oh and yeah, i tried the search function but it didn't help really.)

thx in advance!!

Use the ask a question thread.

And as to an answer, you can buy a prepaid Visa gift card type thing, so its like a credit card with predetermined funds.

well yeah but only in japan at the munute there is and edy card adapter which u plug into yr ps3 and i think you cant top up that card or somthin but as of now in eu nope

as AndyD said u can buy prepaid credit cards. which u can say put 50 on and once that money runs out u just throw the card away.

why dont you get a debit card i use my debit card to order things online

[mauaus]

Use Wirecards
https://www.wirecard.com/wirecard/app

Of course you need a debit/credit card to input the funds on the wirecard but ive done it and it works like a charm, im not in europe but i am in central america (PSN not supported)

Cheers

PM me if you have any doubts!

paypal would be a good idea although complicated to implement

yeah that's what i was thinking of.. thx a lot.


@mauaus: this would be a step too much, if i have one of these debit cards, i won't need anything more.

Hi every one.Im from Sydney,Australia and like almost everyone on here i created a US account to look at all the video,demos that we don't get over here in the land of OZ.

But like so many others from around the world i cant buy anything from the store (Castlevania) I signed up to Wirecard like some have said and put some money in the account. I put all the card details into the store but when i leave the address the same it says the address does not match. So i leave it blank as wirecard didnt ask for an address and still the same thing happens.

Does anybody have any other suggestions as i would love to get some things for the US store

Many thanks

I am having similar problems.

The message I get is "The credit card information is not valid" and I'm guessing it has to do with the address not matching.

I was hoping wirecard would eliminate this problem but it seems that I still can't past the problem where its trying to validate the billing address.

I have tried entering both my real address and other addresses but neither makes a difference.

Has anyone managed to do this successfully in the past few days? Would appreciate the help as would others I'm sure.

UPDATE: I have got it to work on the JAP and HK stores but still cant add funds to my US account using my wirecard mastercard. Must be something about how I am entering the billing info. Anyone any ideas?
