SONY has partnered with the company Boku to introduce a much easier way to adding funds to your PSN wallet. This new system will allow users to add your mobile number into the Boku system and confirm payments via SMS. After doing so, it will be automatically added to your PSN store's wallet.
Sony of Europe's Gordon Thornton explains,
"We are always looking at new ways to give our customers more choice in terms of content, accessibility and payment methods, and are pleased to be able to offer the option of mobile operator billing, which are becoming more and more popular."
As of now, this feature is only available in the UK, Sony Network Entertainment Europe, Gordon Thornton stated. Paying with your mobile is simple, click on "Mobile" when paying in the PSN store, then you will receive a SMS verifying your mobile number and payment. The payment will then be added to your next phone bill, or deducted from your prepaid account.
Mobile technology for a purpose, but it also makes me wonder if somebody got access to your phone/number they could use it to add funds to their account? I hope SONY will add a lot of security measures to this new feature.
If you ask me this is pretty fuckin' cool! I've never seen a gaming console with the ability to do this before, but now that its there watch MS leech hardcore. Anyways, whats your guys' opinion on it?
