    Alright thanks for the responses, going to go down to xtra vision now and see if they have the network cards.

    Went to xtra vision in Rathgar and Rathmines and neither have them.Tried to add funds online but didnt work either.Gets stuck on billing address even though I have a ****ing bank statement next to me telling me the exact way the billing address is laid out.

    What stores sell the network cards?

    I want to ****ing buy Supersonic Acrobatic Battle Cars...do you want my money sony?

    Are you sure you're setting it up right?

    I seem to remember you had to set up the Visa details on the PS3s master account and then enable it to other profiles.

    Yes I was doing it right.Bought a card in Game anyway.

    Not sure what you mean by the highlighted part.

    To find out which is the master account, log in and go to Account Management, the Master Account is the one that has Sub Account Management as an option.

    i mean i had old fat ps3 i remember setting up master account on that i then got rid of that changed to a slim but dont remember ever been asked to set up a master on that one an for any of the accounts i have on it so was wondering how do i check which is master or not as im unable to add funds with visa

    edit: also none of my accounts on the new slim have any option saying sub account management so how do i set up a master it not showing up as an option any where

    My Visa debit doesn't work, really annoying. Think it's to do with the fact it's a HSBC UK card though, dunno. Works online elsewhere though.

    Don't want to shell out for a 20 euro PSN card when all I want to spend is 6 euro.

    Right, I checked my sons slim PS3 and I'm set up as the master account on that one too.
    It was an option to make a master account during the "sign in to playstation network" process.

    Creating a Master Account

    Part One:

    1. Select Sign Up for PLAYSTATION®Network under Friends (far right) in the XMB.
    2. Enter your country of residence, language, and date of birth (you must be 18 years old to create a Master Account) and then select Continue.
    3. Select Master Account when given the option of what type of account is to be created.
    4. The User Agreement and Privacy Policy should appear. Please review that and then choose to either accept or decline. You must accept to continue in the creation of the account.
    5. Enter a sign-in ID and password. The sign-in ID should be a valid e-mail address and then enter a password of at least six characters. The password cannot match the sign-in ID and must contain at least one number and letter (no all numbers or all letters). Be sure to write down your sign-in ID and password and store it in a safe place just in case you have forgotten it later on.
    6. Select a security question and answer, then select Continue. The security question and answer will be used in case you forget your password. Be sure to write down the question and answer just in case you have forgotten the password.

    Part Two:

    1. Create an online ID that will be publically displayed in all games and then select Continue. Please think ahead and choose something you will like down the road because the online ID cannot be changed once entered.
    2. Enter all your personal information in the boxes provided and select Continue.
    3. Enter your billing information if you'd like to purchase items from the PLAYSTATION® Store. This step is optional and can be changed later on.
    4. A screen should be displayed where you can recieve notifications from SCE and its partners. Please select the box/es if you are interested in recieving information from any of them. This step is optional and can be skipped.
    5. Another screen should appear with the information you have entered in the previous steps. Please review this information and when satisfied, select Confirm and a message should appear congratulating you on successfully creating a PLAYSTATION®Network account.
    6. Select an avatar that will be displayed beside your handle when on the PLAYSTATION®Network. There are multiple pages of avatars and you can keep the default avatar if you'd like. At this time you can't use your own image as an avatar.
    7. After this you should be able to log onto the PLAYSTATION®Network and enjoy all of the features!

    Since there is no master account on your slim, you should be able to set one up now. You may be able to delete your main account and re-do it as a master account.

    Any help would be awesome, all i wanna do is play pixeljunk shooter :)
