PlayStation Store now supports PayPal funding on PS3

4.5
Sony has expanded its PlayStation Store payment options on the PlayStation 3, allowing users to fund Sony Entertainment Network purchases via PayPal's online money transfer service.

PayPal support was introduced for Sony's Entertainment Network website back in January, and mobile PayPal funding was later made possible with the Mobile Billing option. Up until this week, however, users accessing the PlayStation Network via the PlayStation 3 were only able to add funds using a credit card or prepaid voucher.

A firmware update for the Xbox 360 added PayPal as a billing option in 2011.

PSN had this for a while... You just needed to login via website and go to your wallet and add funds via PayPal. Its just that this update makes it easier that's all.

Honestly, I thought this was always on the PS3.

You can't make a direct purchase from Paypal in PSN. You have a wallet that has funds that can come from a Paypal account. Both have wonky ways to buy things as it requires funds from a party to be deposited into a PSN or Live account. Xbox removed the middle man and you can make direct purchases from Paypal. Pretty much means your still in the back of the line whe it comes to paypal usage
