Guide: Buying PSN Cards Without a Credit Card for EU Users

Category: PlayStation 3 & PSN News  By: PS3 News - (ps3hype.nl)
Tags: guide buying psn cards without credit card eu users

204w ago - Although PSN cards have recently debuted in Canada, according to PS3Hype.nl (linked above) in Europe there are still no prepaid cards for the PlayStation Network.

That being said, apparently many people who don't own a credit card can't buy things from the PlayStation Store... unless they follow the guide below, of course.

Note: Before we start this tutorial you should know that the PlayStation Network cards (so you can buy after reading this tutorial) can be used in the U.S. PlayStation Store.

This means that no content from the Store can download. Also, the add-ons that you can store in the U.S. are not compatible with European games.

Use this' trick 'only if you complete a game or PSN game to download from the U.S. Store. You can also use this for example PS One classics and PSP games.

Step 1: Create a U.S. PlayStation Network account.

Step 2: Click on this link: https://www.hdmoviesource.com/

Step 3: Here you see a registration form. Fill out the information. It is important that you at least fill in your real email address. The rest is not necessarily correct.

Step 4: In the 'country' you should not choose for the Netherlands (otherwise you pay shipping), but for the 'Cards'. This is also in the list. Click it.

Step 5: Enter a password and remember this!

Step 6: Click on continue. Your registration is complete and you've been automatically logged in. Go now to Step 7.

Step 7: Now you must choose a 20 PlayStation Network Card or a PlayStation Network 50 card.

(Tip: In the right menu you see 3 flags are. This is a list you can open. Click on the list and select 'Euro'. As you can see prices in Euros, and you see that it is a good price !)

Step 8: You have one (or more) of these PSN cards, click on 'Add to Card.

Step 9: Click on 'Check Out'

Step 10: Click 'Continue'

Step 11: Select a payment option, choose "PayPal."

Step 12: Click 'Continue'. Your order is confirmed, usually within an hour you will be your PSN card code received in your mail box.

Then you can redeem this code in the U.S. PlayStation Store through the Redeem Code option right at the top of the screen.

When you do this, you can spend the money on games that are available in the U.S. PlayStation Store. Good luck and have fun!

You pay can pay using iDeal and you directly see the code displayed on the page after you payed. I've used it from the Netherlands as well, and it worked great. Instantly got the code, used it on my US PSN account and could finally buy some games from the US Store.

It's great for us Europeans who don't have or want to use a credit card.


Thanks, you're my hero! Problem solved!

EDIT: ouch the prices seem a bit unrealistic. $20 = €23.99 on that site (should be way less then €20,-)

eeh? don't you need a creditcard to confirm a paypal account?

I just use my US user and the same creditcard as my other account and I buy stuff off the US store all the time, works fine and is about 50% cheaper :P

It is still good to remember that PS One classics are not region free as PS3 games.

I guess some PS3 game add-ons are not locked to EU/US/JAP versions, but most of them seems to be. Of course it would be better to buy the same version disc to make sure the the add-ons will work.
