EntroPay card - Image 1Heads up guys. We just found out that the virtual Visa Card issuer Entropay is no longer accepted in Sony's PlayStation Network. Sucks, right? That means that unless you have a US credit card, you can not avail yourself of a copy of Qore, or pretty much anything else.

SgtBeano of the PlayStation Europe forums received the bad news from EntroPay themselves when he attempted to buy a Qore online. Here's what the letter said:

Dear XXXXXXX


We apologise for the inconvenience. Although our cards accepted by a vast majority of online merchants, please note Playstation has changed their payment mechanism and is unable to process payments with prepaid cards. Any pre-authorisations you have should be refunded within 6 working days. Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.


Regards

Michelle

EntroPay Support


So there you go. Go easy on your credit cards, now.

» Not very Nice

That isn't very nice of them now is it? Good thing I don't use a prepaid card for any of my stuff on there. I just use the Paypal plugin to generate a one time use credit card number, and enter it. Then whatever I buy is paid for using my Paypal and in turn my bank account instead of an actual credit card. This is quite nice considering I don't have a credit card (don't want or need one yet), but do have a Paypal account.

» yes agreed

here in japan, i have no way of obtaining ay credit card so PSN cards are the only way i purchase games on PSN.

i hope US also gets PSN prepaid cards so i can ask my friends in the US for cards so i can buy eglish version of PSN games. we still dont have the stardust expansion, sometimes japan sucks too.
