Purchase of games in the Russian PSN Store using virtual prepaid cards. detailed instructions

In this article, I will talk in detail about what a virtual plastic card is (sometimes they are also called prepaid cards), and you will also know how and where to purchase a virtual card, and how to make purchases later, for example, in the Russian PSN Store .

If you have a desire to buy a game for the Playstation 3 in the Russian PSN Store, then a number of difficulties may arise on the way to purchasing the game.

The method of buying games using PSN CARD, which I described earlier, is suitable only for the American PSN Store.

Payment with a simple plastic card can also fail, and here's why:


Firstly, not all plastic cards are intended for payment on the Internet.
Secondly, not all plastic cards, even with the ability to pay via the Internet, are accepted at the PSN Store.
Thirdly, very often, the banks themselves do not skip transactions on the card to the stop, and in order for the bank to miss the payment, you need to look at the nearest branch of the “tea with cookies” and fill out a statement that you will agree is a chore.

Considering the difficulties described above, I recommend using virtual plastic cards for buying games in the Russian PSN Store.

What is a virtual (prepaid) plastic card?

Virtual or prepaid cards are debit cards accepted at most online stores and services, including PSN Store, PayPal, Ebay, Google Adwords, iTunes RU, Moneybookers, Amazon, Ozon, WOW RUS, LineAge, etc. .

Technically, virtual cards, on the forums they are also called “virtual cards”, are no different from ordinary plastic Visa Electron, Classic, and others.

The main differences between a virtual prepaid card and a simple plastic card are that:
1. Unlike a regular plastic card, for example, a mastercard, which has a hard peg to the data specified when it was issued in the bank, the virtual card does not have a peg to the address, first name and surname, which is the main advantage.
2. Virtual cards - one-time, without the possibility of replenishment.
3. The validity of such cards is 2 months.

Where and how to buy a prepaid virtual plastic card?
The easiest way to buy a virtual card: open Google.ru, enter a request, for example, such a “Prepaid card for payment on the Internet”, and select any online store you like.



To date, the Internet has a large number of shops selling cards for payment of various services, so that there will be no difficulty in finding.

For example, I chose the store zaplati.net.
Regardless of which store you choose, the future purchase scheme is about the same.

Open the page with the product you like (virtual card).
In my case, this is zaplati.net/pay.php?id_d=672117&searchstr=psn&agent=0



Carefully read the description and select the desired face value of the card.
Remember Russian PSN Store accepts payments from 200 rubles, so the face value of the card in terms of rubles must be at least 200 rubles.

For quick and easy payment, I recommend using webmoney.
If you do not have a wallet, read the instructions for registering webmoney .

And so, we chose the face value of the virtual card and press the "Pay" button

If in the process of paying for PSN CARD via webmoney, questions arise, I recommend reading the step-by-step instructions on how to pay for goods with the webmoney system .

Since the card is virtual, then of course you will not receive the card itself after purchase.
The result of the purchase will be the card data that will be sent to your email.

Sample letter:
"In the store Plati.Ru (http://www.plati.ru) you purchased" $ 10 Prepaid VISA CLASSIC for payment on the Internet. "
To obtain this product, please go to oplata.info/delivery/inf_purse.asp?wm_id=5277527752773&id_i=52773593&rnd=52771079
At this link you will also find information about the seller and his contact details.
The administration of the store appeals to you with a request to leave your review about the purchase. To do this, click on the "Leave feedback" button on the product page.

All products that you purchased in our store, you can find in the "Delivery" section oplata.info "

Clicking on the link in the letter will take you to the store's online page with the map data.


In my case it is:
Card number: 4101410120564101
Validity: 09/2009
CW2: 409

Now you can safely buy games.
