Like Alix said, that extra buck or € is the transaction cost. Usually its cheaper, but I never bought at PS3 online store, although I already bought at Nintendo Wii online store! I bought myself an old Genesis game I used to play. I believe the transaction cost was cheaper but I'll check it next time and post it here. Alix I doubt that SIBS will do something soon or ever, last time I called to SIBS they passed my call more than 14 times and I waited almost 2 hours, finally I quited and ended up knowing exactly the same: nothing. SIBS has tons of cash flowing trough them! The least they could do is having a better phone assistance service, they have more than enough people to pass the call around and doing nothing. Hi João!

I'm not familirilazed with the iTunes Store nor with the PlayStation Network so I cannot help you much with that, but I'm pretty sure you can use a virtual MBNet credit card in all websites that accept VISA credit cards... That 1€ is natural to be charged, normally it serves for transaction costs (such as verifing the veracity of your credit card, if you have the amount of money to buy the item you ordered, and so on) - usually it's a little bit cheaper (arround 0.3€) but I guess some companies don't mind making a proffit out of it as well... :P Regarding the MBNet insecurity issue, I've recieved two e-mails from MBNet itself and SIBS - as I said in a previous comment - apart from thanking me for warning them about this issue they just said that they have fowarded it to their tech departments - but this is Portugal.. I doubt it's already solved or even if they are already working on a solution. Thanks for your questions! ;) Hi Joâo!

I forgot to ask one thing: I've been noticing on the web (in forums...) a strange thing - I keep reading about ps3 owners that, when [buying something on the ps store / putting money on the ps store wallet], are "charged" (I think that's the word) in one $/euro with no reason (some gamers try to explain it, but who really knows what's that $/euro destiny??)... The fact is that some of those people (if not all) use MBNet to make that payment. So, what I'm asking you is this: could you "investigate" this and tell me if that $/euro is natural to be "charged", and if so, why?? Thanks for the help (I hope you can answer). Please post here soon!... Sorry… I forgot to ask one thing:

I'd be pleased to have a more secure service before I subscrive to it... Could you explain then how to use MBNet to buy at the PlayStation Network and at the iTunes Store (I think iTunes Store always asks for the same card...)? Thanks! Please, don’t you forget to post when this problem is fixed!

This shows how concern some companies are about the security flaws in their software. They have forward my email to their tech department already. :)
