The easy way

If last year’s PlayStation Network hack has left you hesitant to share your credit card information with Sony, then you might be excited to learn that the platform holder has added a PayPal payment option to its website in Europe.

The feature – which is currently available in the UK alongside a slew of other European countries – allows you to add funds to your Sony Entertainment Network account without ever needing to use a credit card. All you need to do is visit the service’s official website, log into your SEN account (which uses the same login details as your PSN account), and select “Add Funds”.

Assuming you’re from a participating country, you’ll find the PayPal logo, which will take you through the process of adding funds to your wallet without ever needing to enter your credit card details.

There are full instructions available through here. Currently, the only way to add funds is via the web interface – but we wouldn’t be surprised if the functionality got incorporated into the new PlayStation Store, too.
