So mine never has any cash for them to steal anyway. They'd get a max of about £20.

They tried releasing prepaid debits here in Canada... it didn't catch on. Supposedly though, we Canadians are more comfortable with our CC and Debit cards than many other countries including the US.
kurandoinu:
Its not prepaid. I just have more than one bank account. The one that wages etc get paid into I don't even have the card for (its at my parents) to try and minimize cash being stolen both physically and online.

Seems like so much of a hassle just to keep money safe. I'm sure PSN is generally safe. Same as paypal and using straight CC info on sites like Newegg, Amazon etc.
kurandoinu:
Its not really much hassle at all. Means I look after my money better as I know when I'm transferring it and all I have to do is use online banking to transfer stuff. And my mum got her card cloned using play.com, so you can never be too sure.
Wonder how many PS3 gamers are getting itchy thumbs for some online action?

kurandoinu's way is just a case of getting used to this kind of control, for her it's as easy as for most of us to just pick up the phone and text or write a letter and send it by mail.
