    neogaf has a "My PSN was hacked" thread almost every day
    sometimes more than once a day
    and we all know how Sony deals with that
    I removed all the cards from my account so I couldn't be charged if I get hacked. Might be a good idea.

      Editing … Is it safe to buy psn using PayPal without my PayPal getting comprised? I could buy using eBay instead if I have to. So I'm just wondering what I should do.

      Editing … I'd say it's totally safe to buy from PSN, but do NOT allow it to remember your payment info. Just use it, and the next time you need to buy from PSN, go through the setup of entering payment info again. This may work differently with Paypal, you might be even safer going that way.

      Editing … Just make sure it doesn't stay linked to the PSN, if you're also worried about the potential risk of getting hacked. Sony doesn't do shit if someone charges you.

      Editing … I don't get your strategy. Why would it matter if you remove your card, wont hackers still have access to it? Oh I think I get it, your method simply safeguards against people hijacking your psn account from using your cards to make purchases. (and from gaining your card info, assuming it's possible for anyone with your psn to see that info) Anyway, I added the game to my cart and was just about to add a payment method. I find it strange though I can't simply pay using PayPal without putting it on file as a payment method. That's actually the phrasing Sony uses. It says I have no payment methods "on file". It's like they're TRYING to give me cold feet.

      Editing … Yea, if they get into the PSN account, at least they can't cause me to get charged (and Sony does not return funds)

      Editing … Ok I was about to add my PayPal but then it shows my bank and last four digits of my bank number (it's the one tied to my PayPal account) asking me if I want to use that as a payment method, at least if there isn't enough money in my PayPal. Umm.. if there isn't enough in my PayPal why not just prevent me from buying whatever I was about to buy? Meh, I'm thinking I should stop being impatient and just use eBay.

      Editing … It even says that if I agree, it lets me complete the purchase without having to log into PayPal. As if that's a good thing! >:/
