Those of you hoping to grab yourself a copy of Qore, or purchase anything else on the US PSN whilst not actually having a US credit card, can colour yourselves disappointed. Apparently, the virtual Visa Card issuer Entropay no longer works in Sony’s online shop.
A member of the EU Playstation Boards has posted the following mail which he received from Entropay after realising the service no longer worked.
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
MichelleEntroPay Support
So that’s that.

If you registered the online card with a US account before the rule change it still works.
Might be worth pointing that out.

I concur, when I first heard about this in the Eurogamer forums I was able to load my PSN wallet.
I suppose I was lucky in that I linked my Entropa account with PSN sometime late August…just in time.
What a dick move from Sony though.

Actually I don’t think Sony really cared about people being able to buy game content, when the movie section came online though it was possible to click on ads and such and pay money to get something that would never d-load due to IP checks.
I think that might be why they killed Entropay. Just like MS do with their American store.
