I had this error when I tried to add funds to my account. And I tried multiple times until it went through. Hope they haven't charged me multiple times!

PimpHandHappy5767d ago

do they have those gift cards were your at or do you use a credit card?

TrailerParkSupervisr5767d ago

Does anyone else have to wait, like, 30 minutes when trying to "compare" your trophies to someone else? It drives me nuts! I back out after 10 minutes. It's like they don't sync.

I love my PS3 and would never trade it away and this is a minor issue, but still...

I will say, when I had the 360 being able to compare Gamerscores and games played took like 5 seconds.

the reason I like the feature is when I meet someone online and am thinking about tossing them a friend request, I like to see what they have under their belt first.

zireno5767d ago

If you are using a wireless connection you should try to connect with an ethernet cable. I used to have this issue before I switched to a wired connection and now everything syncs within a few seconds, hope this help a bit.

Chubear5767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

I use wireless connections always and, at most, it takes 7 to 8 secs to compare trophies (maybe up to 10sces if I meet someone in HOME) but normally, it takes about 3-4secs.

30mins to compare trophies is certainly a problem you should look into. Perhaps internet provider services differ case by case.

gamingisnotacrime5767d ago

just be sure to have the PS3 with over 80% of signal strenght from the router. I have my PS3 in the room next to where the router is and the connection strengh is 100% and i can compare trophies in seconds.
Using the wired option is the safest bet anyway

kerrak5767d ago

Wireless connection can slow down trophy comparison.
Also it is slower if there are lots of trophies to show.
But anyway, if your general online experience is correct, then 30 mins for comparing is a completely different problem.
Do you keep always your ps3 on standby? If it's the case maybe a simple power off / power on could do the trick.
Dont laugh for this one: open the web browser, close it.
As a last resort you can check your open ports on your router, maybe it has something to do with your issue.
Hope it helps.

bigrob1235767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

i had the issue too, thaught i might of been broke lol but i had no issue toppin my MS points on the 360, it was only a few hours l8r that i could top my psn wallet up

D4RkNIKON5767d ago

PSN won't take my debit card because the damn thing is so sensitive when filling put the billing info. I have to buy PSN cards from local stores in order to shop the PS store.

Darkfocus5767d ago

I thought you can't use debit cards online, only credit cards?

zireno5767d ago

actually you can use debit cards on PSN I use mine all the time

Ahmay5767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

you can only use credit card on psn...

RBdrift5767d ago

The only card I've ever used since the PSN has been available is my debit card and and have never had any issues.

taco_tom2375767d ago

same here lol i have to buy psn cards

NothingToGainButLove5767d ago

Same. My debit card gets rejected so I have to buy PSN cards instead. Its a minor inconvenience though. I just have to make sure I have funds in there in case I want to purchase anything.

KingKiff5767d ago

Debit cards won't be accepted.

Only VISA / Mastercard debit cards will be accepted.

NothingToGainButLove5766d ago

It is a VISA debit card just so you know...

D4RkNIKON5767d ago

To all of you that say debit cards don't work.. Mine used to work until my billing info changed and I got a new card. It is a visa also. It is really inconvenient too because I have to put $20 in my wallet at a time and I can't do it from the comfort of my couch..

needs some Wonder Woman :P

beerhound5d ago

I would prefer a "Starfield" one.

DefenderOfDoom24d ago (Edited 4d ago )

These are the same Bethesda tables from FX3 now upgraded for VR . I bought this Bethesda pack for Pinball FX3 around 5 years ago. But when the new Pinball FX came out a few years ago , they wanted me to buy the same tables again, which is ridiculous .

Seven cancelled racing video games that could have been great

From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.

Agent7515d ago

Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.

Storm2315d ago

I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.

darthv7215d ago

Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.

Storm2315d ago (Edited 15d ago )

For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

DivineHand12519d ago

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia19d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake18d ago
