Have you guys ever had any problems with having credit card info saved on PSN. Is it easy to remove? I know on XBL it can be a real pain with credit card info, so I was just wondering if it was the same, because I want to buy FF7 and don't want to have to go to buy a points card.

It's perfectly safe. I've bought multiple things from the PSN store with absolutely no trouble. I wouldn't worry about it at all honestly.

It's as safe as Amazon or any online store having your credit card information. Just remember never to give out your real name, location, etc. or people will jack you.

like you, i'm not keen on having my credit details on PSN. That's why get prepaid cards, it also stops you from emptying out your bank :P

It is super safe, just do not share your PSN ID info and you will never be in harms way.

I use my debit card (I've never owned a credit card nor do I plan / need to) since PSN cards are getting harder to come by. I just input my info transfer the funds and then delete my debit card info. I never keep it store on PSN just like I never keep my debit card info stored at any online store I use.

You guys are lucky to be able to use credit cards on PSN; I can't because of the fact I live in the Philippines :cry: Just because I'm a Filipino doesn't mean that I'm a pirate, Sony! :cry:

It's perfectly safe, but if it worries you so much you can easily delete your credit card info once you're done with your purchases.

i took my credit card off of my account due to the chain letters that ppl have been sending where it would charge your card on file automatically if you open it, just to be safe, i took off my credit card on file
