get a visa or mastercard debit card. easy 2 apply for, there just your normal bank account u can use on the net as a credit card.

i got one, easy as to use.

worth looking into cause then your only spending ur own money not the banks

so can i get a visa debit card even though im 15? is all you need a visa card? so it doesnt have to be a credit card?

Yeah, the Russian mafia encourages online banking... Go INTO the bank, open an account, link a Visa Debit card to it and only put your Playstation store money in it. Worst case scenario, someone can take your $100 or so dollars before you can.

man those themes and wallpapers on the store are always soooo lame. dont they know the quality of the themes on allps3themes.com? and dont they realise we can just copy pics across from pc to ps3, and use them as wallpapers?.....

if you want a good haze wallpaper go to the haze website......although its changed now they may not be there anymore.....but google is your friend

get bopo


www.bopo.com.au/

bopo is not a credit card or a debit card – it’s a prepaid Visa card! It offers all the convenience of VISA, but because it’s prepaid you can only spend the money you load onto it.

You have a choice of a non-reloadable Gift Card or a reloadable card.

yeah ive been having a decent read at the fees page and ive worked out that to get the card will be 14.95 or 24.95 if i want to put a custom pic on the card which if you ask me is a waste of 10 bux IMO lol thats about all im understanding atm lol but at a guess it looks like it will cost $1 whenever i want to put money on the card then when i buy something online it would cost me 50 cents lol so id say the psn would be called an online purchase..

Hey all,
I was wondering if these two games were shareable through PSN - Super Stardust HD and Pixel junk monsters. If they are shareable, would anyone like to go halfsies or whatever in both of them? I have money in my paypal / bank account and i can pay you via paypal or bank transfer (i'm with comm. bank). I would buy myself as they're so cheap but i do not have a credit card, and i would really prefer to not buy a virtual CC such as entropay etc.
Please PM me if you would like to share Super Stardust HD and/or Pixel Junk Monsters, if you already have the game i would be able to pay you the full amount + extra.
Thanks.
