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!

PimpHandHappy5850d ago

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

TrailerParkSupervisr5849d 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.

zireno5849d 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.

Chubear5849d ago (Edited 5849d 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.

gamingisnotacrime5849d 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

kerrak5849d 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.

2-3 seconds for me on a wireless connection

bigrob1235850d ago (Edited 5850d 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

D4RkNIKON5849d 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.

Darkfocus5849d ago

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

zireno5849d ago

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

Ahmay5849d ago (Edited 5849d ago )

you can only use credit card on psn...

RBdrift5849d 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_tom2375849d ago

same here lol i have to buy psn cards

NothingToGainButLove5849d 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.

KingKiff5849d ago

Debit cards won't be accepted.

Only VISA / Mastercard debit cards will be accepted.

NothingToGainButLove5849d ago

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

D4RkNIKON5849d 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..

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle13d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7713d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde20d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy20d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga21d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199221d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga20d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman20d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger20d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box21d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion20d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7221d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7521d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit21d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14921d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7721d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
