I'm thinking of getting a PS3, but I have a question first...?

Do you have to put in a credit card number to get a psn account to play online? The ability to play online for free is one of the main reasons I want a PS3, but I'd rather not have my credit card information on the network since they have had some problems in the past with getting hacked and all...

    No you only need your card if you want to buy stuff from the PS shops e.g. clothes for your avatar on PS Home, or buy/rent movies and games. You don't need it to actually have an account!

    Nope, you can just go online you don't have to put any card details in unless you wish to buy something and even then you can go to the shop and by money on a card THEN put it in yo psn wallet.

    No, you don't have to give your credit-card info unless you wish to buy something on the PS Store.
