Credit system to buy from PlayStation Network Store without a credit card

NEWS: 8 May 2007 9:40 GMT by Chris Ford

Sony Japan have been thinking long and hard about how to make it easier for their fans to buy from the PlayStation Network Store without Credit cards and electronic money … after all, those under 18 can’t do that.

The answer to this is going to come in June with PlayStation Network Tickets, a form of electronic money that can be spent on the Japanese PlayStation Store.

The idea is that credits notes will be able to be bought at 26,000 shops throughout Japan, including Lawsons, Family Mart, Daily Yamazaki, Mini Stop and Sunkus, or at 26,000 special ATMs in Japanese post offices.

The credit notes will be available in units of 1000, 3000, 5000, and 10,000 yen. The notes will carry a code that can be entered at the shop and used towards purchases.

Although Sony hasn’t yet announced a similar system for the other territories, something similar may follow as Japan is often used as a proving ground for new initiatives.
