Playstation Network - General Discussion Thread

Hmm... I'm having problems. Using my MasterCard to pay for PSN Euro purchases isn't working. I was adding funds to my wallet just fine while getting the Net Disc for RR7 but after getting the final fourth one the store wouldn't accept my card anymore... WTF?

I also got a PSN JP card from eBay and that's not registering either. Could there be a problem with my connection?

You can only use the JPN PSN cards on the JPN PSN store, so obviously that won't work for Euro purchases.

As for the Mastercard... what error did you get?

[danholo]

Well, obviously I was using the PSN card on the JPN store.

The service said that the card was not valid. I also tried my Visa Electron, which should be acceptable (I have heard people using these), and it didn't go through either. I can download free content just fine but adding funds to any wallet is just impossible at the moment and, frankly, Sony's websites are very hard to navigate in order to find any information on this or to e-mail them about it! This isn't only odd, it's very odd considering that I was purchasing one moment and the next... nothing.

This is kind of frustrating missing one music pack and not getting some of those games from the JPN store I was looking at.

Well, obviously I was using the PSN card on the JPN store.

Figured that was the case, but it wasn't obvious from your post.

Agreed on getting this sort of information out of the official sites, they're a nightmare! However, this page seems to have what you want in terms of contact details etc.

[danholo]

Thanks! I sent them an e-mail. Let's see what happens. I'll try the card again later.

Pixeljunk Monsters is out next week in US with a very good chance it'll be EU bound the week after. I recommend this one.

Apparently, Echochrome will be finally with us sometime in Q2.

[danholo]

Well, my credit card started working. The JPN card doesn't go through though. A fluke? Anybody else get these? Do they work?

update: Well, it just turns out that the seller of the card gave me the wrong code! He asked me if "I used this code", that current one being the CORRECT one. I said he sent me an incorrect code previously.

Anyway, now I'll finally give KOF '98 a shot!

Apparently there is a demo of Pixel Junk Monsters up on JPN store now and it's 100% in English

[Number45]

Ooh, that's out this week in the US. Looking forward to that for remote play goodness.

Is it just me or does Pixel Junk Monsters look like an almost total rip off of Desktop Tower Defense. Which is no bad thing i might add.

[Number45]

Yeah, I think that's been pretty heavily commented on! Not played it myself, but I do like the look of this, particularly as I said when you factor in the remote play.

[John Beaulieu]

been playing Pixel Junk monsters for a couple of weeks now (JPN store - its only about 900yen and is 100% english).

It's nothing to write home about, everything about it is just functional ... and yet its something I can put on when feeling rough and just let myself be absorbed into.

lol sorry not been keeping up with PSN stuff.

[watusi]

Had a quick go on PJ Monsters. Oddly absorbing even though I wasn't sure i was really enjoying playing it. And yes, its very "inspired" by Desktop Tower Defence.

[hudson]

PixelJunk Monsters is very addictive. Fun in co-op too.
