PS3 credit card security = lolwhut?

[dcharlie]

So , i've been adding funds to my US wallet.

I have a UK credit card.
I noticed that it doesn't do any look up of my credit card details vs. my address (as i entered a NY address)
but anyways....

about 4 weeks ago, my credit card was renewed...
new secondary security number
new expire date

As i checked out, i was told i had to add some funds...
as i clicked on $25 add, i thought "Balls, i'm going to get rejected... i've not updated my card details!"

BUT NO!!!!

Accepted.
WTF?!
This is a REAL issue is it not?

The security system is obviously not checking ANYTHING
not the address
not the expire date
not the secondary security number

All you need is a name and a credit card number.
Hell, do you even need a name?!
I might give it a whirl - this is extremely poor.

I don't want some quench of a Ps3 owner getting my credit card number and downloading all this stuff! lols.

hahaha it will catch up - dont go downloading 20,000 warhawk licenses or anything

separately - they recently just changed it so that you do not have to go thru a separate "add fund" process in the US store....you just checkout and when you finalize the order it does it all in one step.

whats if its just a temp tier outage and they dont wanna hold you up so you can get your game?

Its always pretty accurate when i buy. I get the email notification from SONY and my financial institution right away.
