Playstation Store: Can't use credit card to buy games?
Anybody have problems buying games from PSN using a credit card? I added a VISA to my account but couldn't add funds to my wallet because it said my information was invalid but I verified it with the bank. Two days ago, I managed to log on to PSN from my PSP and buy a game using the automatic funding option where it charged my credit card directly instead of using the wallet. Today I try to buy another game but it gives me error code 80551002. Also tried with Media Go and it gives me error 80023102. I've searched for this and it says it's a connection problem. Sony didn't say the store was under maintenance so what gives? My internet is fine.
Both email and phone customer support are useless. They keep telling me they can't do anything because it's a credit card problem and kept pushing me to buy a PSN card. I don't want to use those cards becuase I'd end up paying more than I have to for games. For example, if I get a $20.00 card I won't be able to buy two $9.99 games because it will charge me tax during checkout. That means I'd have to get another $20.00 and the rest of the cash will sit there if I don't have anything else to buy. Man, PSN is so damn frustrating.
