How to add funds to your US PSN account from aboard without eBay

Since the huge breach that Sony and its PSN saw in 2011, the PSN security has been raised up (and that’s a good thing) but they also limited the use of credits cards to American credit cards if you want to add funds to american PSN wallet accounts. Gamers all over the world had to look for other ways to fund their wallet, the most popular being of course eBay, expensive and unsafe. Until now…

The cheapest way to add funds to a US PSN account for your PS3 or PS4

While I’m not sure how new and fresh this news is, I have just discovered it myself today when I wanted to renew my PSN+ subscription. In a desperate (and unsuccessful) attempt to fund my account with my foreign credit card on my PS3, I decided to give it a try on the web. After launching Safari and getting to the PSN homepage, I have notice two offers that weren’t there the last time I checked: “Buy 12 Months PS Plus” & “Buy 3 Months PS Plus”.

And guess what: the links bring us to Amazon.com with an instant download code after purchase. Bingo! No need for surcharged eBay transactions anymore. We can buy funds from Amazon, getting the code in a few seconds and fund our wallet with the code on the PS3!

Oh and yes, you will save $0.01 by buying your funds with Amazon and not on the PSN 😉
