>PSN sale
>good game is on sale for $2.00
>need to fund PSN wallet with $5 minimum to purchase
Why the fuck is this allowed?
>>344917696
What the fuck are you talking about? Do you not have a credit card or something?
>>344919016
>implying he's not underage and mommy will only let him spend $2
Why do you keep posting this? And don't give me that
>this is my first time
>>344919016
I don't know about other regions but in NA. $5 is the minimum you can charge on PSN. Anything cheaper you will have money left over on your wallet.
>>344917696
> tfw only enough good boy points for 2 dollars
Yeah ive been there op
Can't you just pay the exact amount with your credit card instead of buying PSN Bucks first? I feel like I did that in the past but it's been a while since I've bought anything from PSN.
Journey is worth picking up
I tried to use a debit card but buy things on PSN but no matter what I did it wouldn't accept it so I bought a pre paid psn card on amazon.
>>344917696
The fuck? I had 0 in my wallet but I bought a theme for way less than $5, didn't have to deposit shit
>>344919331
nope
>>344917696
Since they have transactions that are like $1, it would be very costly if they had a lot of $1 transactions instead of fewer $5 transactions. The credit card companies charge merchants a decent fee for all those charges.
>>344917696
Probably has something to do with credit card transaction fees.
Xbox 360 was way worse before they got rid of the fucking Microsoft points.
>game costs 1200 points, points are only sold in quantities of 400, 800, and 1600
>>344919016
He's probably in NA where any purchase under $5 requires you to deposit $5 into your PSN account.
>>344919331
If the item you're buying is $5 or more that's how it works
>>344917696
You can buy directly with a card instead of purchasing playstation money first you moron
>>344919016
>Not from America
>Acting like he's the odd one out on 4chan
>>344919594
This. It's why family owned places like restaurants and delis often have $10 minimums when using cards. Banks take a portion for the transaction, so they set a minimum so no matter what you buy it's still profitable in the long term.
Too many fees and it adds up and eats into earnings.
Maybe if you asked your mom nicely. Or took out the garbage.
>>344919783
The purchase is less than $5 so you have to add funds to a wallet first.
Stop posting if you're a fucking retard.
>>344920084
Shouldn't you be on a welfare line not on /v/ complaining about 3 dollars?
>>344920302
>implying I'm OP and not ip 14
>implying
Shouldn't you know how PSN works before commenting like a retard?
>>344920302
this desu, i don't mind giving sony the extra money :^)seriously, who gives a fuck it's a tiny amount and if you never plan on using PSN again why would you buy a digital game
>>344919407
No.
I can understand not wanting to use your personal credit card after the the breach 5 years ago. I was one of those people who were not only compromised but also a victim of credit theft
>sony being jews again
>>344917696
Dont be such a poorfag.
>>344923058
>you're poor if you're calling out sony's dumb paywall shit
>>344923234
>poorfag is crying about being a poorfag
whatever.
>>344923323
>you're a poorfag if you don't like paying extra money for the same shit
>>344920084
What? I literally bought Alice for $2 a few months ago on PSN directly with my debit card.
>>344917696
Throw $10 on there and treat yourself to a PS1 game while you're at it
>>344923569
>you have to spend more money just to gain access to other lesser priced games
>>344917696
What good game? I have $3 left in my PSN wallet but I thought I just saw a bunch of indieshit on sale this week. I wish Dark Souls 2 would go back on sale for $3 again.
>>344923774
you should probably just run a chargeback on the 3 dollars
>>344917696
>not using Paypal
>>344923837
Yeah just do that, you don't need that pesky PSN account anyway
You can use a debit card you fucking liars. Although I do see the uneasiness about giving Sony your info.
>>344924054
>debit card
still counts as a credit card transaction
>inb4 you actually push "debit" button when you swipe your card instead of credit
>tfw i got the Resident Evil Super Bundle (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 gold edition, 6, Code Veronica X, Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles, and Operation Raccoon City) when it was discounted to $25 last week during the sale
>>344924278
>all locked to PS3
kek
>>344924873
cheap enough that i couldn't care less.
>no other host requires you to pay for a paywall so you can pay for your game
not even valve are big jews like this
>>344924146
>you actually use a debit card at all in the year 2016
>not using amex
>>344925248
Not true. You have to add funds to the steam wallet if buying anything from community market.
>inb4 hurr why would you buy anything there
Still Jewry, and this isn't an unheard of practice, I think Nintendo does it for low priced games too.
>>344925284
No one supports fucking amex
I can go anywhere in the world with my Visa or Visa debit and everyone will take it no problems
>>344925248
You don't have to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold or PS+ to purchase games on their respective marketplaces.
>>344925284
>Using a card that isn't accepted anywhere and everywhere
ha
>>344925357
>Not true. You have to add funds to the steam wallet if buying anything from community market.
No I just plug in the credit card and it buys it. Theres no pay wall to use steam like there is PSN and even if I had to use wallet funds I could easily self insert the exact value for the community market then buy it
>>344925471
Literally just not true. To buy things from the market like cards, cases, keys, and wallpapers you have to add at least $5 to your wallet.
Please stop lying.
>>344925567
>have to have at least 5 dollars
no I can insert any number of funds into my wallet, there is no arbitrary "you have to have 5 dollars to buy this 1 dollar option"
Just buy a psn card from Walmart or GameStop etc.
>not buying Mad Max for £15
It's like you literally hate fun
>>344925706
>just go to the store and pay tax on your purchase
you don't pay tax when you use a CC on PSN, steam or xboner live
should I get Catherine? Its on sale for $5.95.
>>344925380
>No one supports fucking amex
What 3rd world country do you live in? Amex is supported almost everywhere in the United States
>>344925456
I have multiple credit cards in the event a merchant doesn't accept Amex, in my experience though that is rarely the case.
>>344917696
Use a CC you retard you don't need to deposit anything. Just remove the CC afterwards cause who the hell trusts Sony after so many accidents.
>>344925835
>What 3rd world country do you live in? Amex is supported almost everywhere in the United States
>I can use my Visa anywhere in the world and no one will question it.
>>344925248
>not even valve are big jews like this
>>344925786
Where? It's not on PSN
>>344925969
>you have to spend at least 5 dollars worth of stuff
before you gain access to it, which is easy because you've most likely already done it via other store purchases.
Don't pretend like you've just installed steam for the first time and just delved into game's skins and keys you haven't even payed for yet.
>>344925567
But sir. that's bullshit.
When I bought Bamham Arkham Knight for 12 dillery doos, I had $2.49 in my psn wallet. and it just added the difference.
Now my wallet is a flat $0
>>344925779
>you don't pay tax when you use a CC on PSN, steam or xboner live
I pay tax on Xbox Live because there's a fucking Microsoft store in my state, fuck you Microsoft.
>>344926223
kek
>mfw I don't pay tax on any of my amazon, Steam, GOG, G2A, PSN or any market place taxes because none of these fuckers have distributors in my state
>>344919974
>>344919512
Distributive property disagrees with you. Quit being retarded.
Also, companies only charge them like 2-3%.
>>344926202
You're talking about a totally different thing you idiot.
>>344926296
I also pay tax on Amazon and when it first started happening I got really pissed but I continued to use Amazon as I have an Amazon VISA
no tax on Steam or PSN though
Anyone else have issues using credit/debit cards on PSN? My bank debit card, both credit cards, they always give an error message and have never worked on any Sony system.
>>344926032
Australian store.
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-au/games/catherine/cid=EP4062-NPEB00875_00-CATHERINEGAMEEUR
>>344926518
>my band credit card
its distributed through your bank and your bank handles the ACH's for them, whose the provider? VISA? MasterCard?
>could've had Sleeping Dogs and Watch Dogs for £7 each on PS4
>LOL NAH I PLAYED THEM BEFORE ON PS3
This was a mistake
>>344926596
Visa for the bank card, Visa/MC for the credit cards.
>>344926639
>Sleeping Dogs
Idiot, get it on steam for peanuts during a sale.
>>344926518
My CC never seems to work on the online site. Always have to use the store on the console which is annoying.
>>344926639
I bought Sleeping Dogs when it was on sale, I didn't like it. Waiting for Watch Dogs to end up on PS+, it's been on sale for nearly every week for a year it has to be added eventually.
>>344917696
Can't you just purchase it directly with PayPal?
>>344926957
Yes, that works. OP is either an idiot orhe doesn't have a credit cardayyyyyyyyyy le jobless neet cannot into real life
>>344925284
>amex
Hmm, don't have this one. I like collecting credit cards for some reason (I think because they look pretty fucking sweet). Have most big store CCs. Will have to look into this.
>>344919016
>giving sony your CC information
are you suicidal with your money?
>>344919281
>>344920084
Use paypal you fucking scrub
>>344926957
Yes he can, those saying they HAVE to put in $5 are fucking idiots
Are there any reasons I should make a US account other than sales?
Are there things only available in the US store?
>>344927782
I would guess that Sony's security is better than average after the way they were humiliated with the 2011 hack. That is not a mistake any company wants to make twice.
>>344929751
they still don't have 2fa so...
