I bought a £20 psn card from Amazon for £18:95, It arrives today, I try to enter the code, my ps3 crashes as I try to confirm the code and locks me out, the only way to continue was to restart, I restarted and tried to reenter the code now the store is saying the card has been used... any help? the first four letters of the code are OLAA, now I'm not sure if that's a zero or an O, I've tried both but still no dice. so...any tips?

I should mention my wallet is currently empty.

If you bought this 1st party from Amazon you should ask for a return, or contact Sony. If you just bought it off some jackoff then you're screwed.....

Call Sony and see if you can give them the card number and see if they can track its use.

I fail so hard it's unbelieveable, the OLAA part of the code is actually QLAA, the tail of the Q didn't look like a tail, it just looked like a tiny little smudge I assumed to be a tiny piece of the scratch panel still in place ¬_¬

Was is sold 'via Amazon' or some other retailer on Amazon?

Looks like problem solved itself.

Calling Sony is the best option I think

Yes, If your old enough for a credit card those cards are a waste. I assume your to young for one.

so you got it to work then?

Now that you have it working, might I suggest megaman ten if you don't have something else in mind?
