FAQ: Easy PlayStation Direct carding (2025)

[spalr]

https://direct.playstation.com - Sonys own hardware store that's practically begging us to exploit it. For a company as big as them their security is so basic its like they're running Windows 95 in 2024. For all you newcomers looking to score your first hit this is your golden ticket.
Were not just going after any old electronics here. Were targeting PlayStation gaming systems - high-value items that hold their worth and sell fast. Sonys made it ridiculously easy by implementing security that couldnt catch a cold let alone catch fraud.
But don't get cocky just because Sony cant be bothered with proper protection. You still need to engage those brain cells and follow proper procedure. Half-assing it will get you nowhere.
Fire up that antidetect browser get your cards ready and lets turn PlayStation Direct into our personal console dispenser and destroy some noobs on Warzone.

Why PlayStation Direct?
PlayStation Direct is a carders paradise. As Sonys official store they've always got consoles in stock especially with PS5 PRO pre-orders dropping soon. More legitimate buyers means our orders blend right in.
These aren't some cheap gadgets that lose value faster than crypto crashes. PlayStations hold their worth for ages giving you plenty of time to flip them before any issues arise. The resale market is massive - gamers and collectors are always hunting for deals.

Its very easy to sell PlayStations. Lots of gamers and collectors want to buy them. You wont have trouble finding people who want to buy your 'cheap' consoles.
While other people try to card cheaper items we can make good money from these gaming systems. PlayStation Directs weak security makes it easy for us to get them.
Recon
Our analysis with https://portswigger.net/burp of PlayStation Directs security revealed some embarrassing flaws. Sony seems to think their brand name alone will deter fraudsters. Spoiler alert: it doesn't.

They're using https://www.cybersource.com for payments but their implementation is garbage. Our tests showed no meaningful protection against antidetect browsers or basic fraud patterns. Its like they installed a high-tech security system but forgot to turn it on.
CyberSource isn't completely useless but PlayStation Directs setup might as well be. Yes they use 3D Secure but with the right cards and methods thats about as effective as a screen door on a submarine.
What You Need
To exploit PlayStation Directs weak spots you'll need:

• Working cards (Doesn't matter if VBV or NOT, I've never had any 3DS prompt from this site)


• Clean residential IPs matching your cards country


• Proper antidetect browser setup


• Phone number that is either yours or routes to you (they sometimes call to verify orders and you need it for guest order tracking)

Cybersource address check is no joke. If your drop has any history with carding items with payments processed through CyberSource don't waste your time - they'll flag that shit instantly. For clean drops you've got three options:

1. Fresh Address: Use a drop thats never seen carded goods


2. Pickup Location: Post offices and UPS stores work well


3. Modified Address: If using an old drop alter it slightly (check my address jigging guide)

The process is straightforward - set up your environment, browse naturally, mix up your cart items, and use guest checkout (this lets us use the advanced method explained below). Enter everything manually (no lazy copy-pasting), submit and wait. If you score don't immediately go back for seconds like a greedy bastard.
Advanced Method
PlayStation Direct has the typical issue in their checkout process that we can exploit. With guest checkout, they don't validate email addresses at all - meaning we can use the cardholder's real email during checkout to match the card details and lower our fraud score.
Since you won't have access to the confirmation email, you'll need to track your order status through their Order Lookup tool here:

This simple email trick helps bypass CyberSource basic verification checks since the initial details match the card perfectly. This works wonders if you get lucky and the cardholder has tons of history with ordering on shops that uses Cybersource too!
Some Possible Issues
Warning: Sony can remotely disable consoles from suspicious orders. If they catch on to a mass carding spree they might block your PlayStations from accessing online services.

Sometimes you can fix this through console exchanges (detailed guide coming soon). For now if you feel like they're about to pull the plug on your PS5s flip your consoles quickly. The faster you sell the less chance Sony has to blacklist them.
Another common issue is that many residential proxy providers block direct.playstation.coms URL. If you run into this roadblock check out my proxy bypass guide here: https://2crd.cc/showthread.php?t=161021
Final Thoughts
PlayStation Direct is perfect for breaking into carding. Their weak security valuable products and simple process make it nearly impossible to completely fuck up.
But don't get overconfident. Use this to learn the fundamentals. Understanding how to exploit basic targets like this will prepare you for harder ones later.
This is Carding 101 - master it before moving on to advanced targets. Now go card some PlayStations. If you cant handle this maybe stick to your day job
