When a company is this focused on making it easier for you to give them your money, maybe it’s time to walk way
But children don’t have credit cards…
Sony patents game console with embedded credit card skimmer, with child-friendly features
…shit
Hold the controller closely to your parent’s wallet and unlock this amazing new skin.
You, and YOU alone can help Solid Snake in his mission. Should you choose to accept, the objective is simple. Remove the RFID resistant wallet from your parent’s back pocket. Inside, there will be a plastic card that contains the nuclear codes. Take that card, and press it to the face of your controller. Hurry, agent! The world’s counting on you
call me when you can pirate games with playstation controller
Middle class gonna whore itself out to impulse purchase useless game skins. Middle class? More like idiot class lmao
Oh ya my cousin rather get a personal trainer then vote 🤷♂️
so… a payment terminal ? Why can they patent this?
Probably because it’s on a controller. It is fucking stupid.
Payment terminal, can’t patent that. Payment terminal on a toaster? Yes you can patent that. Lol
rent
Sonys thing not mine.
Like I’m ever “buying” a game from them again.
Do you need a patent for that? Can you even patent something so silly and trivial?
basically patent on theft. make it easier for stupid people to bankrupt themselves while brainwashing them.
Honestly, 2 points:
-
Actually surprised this was not a PS5 launch feature
-
Not a bad idea really. Could cut down on some forms of scam, if you had to use a physical object instead of a bunch of numbers saved on your computer.

This initially sounds horrible, but really is it much different from just typing in the details? Result is the same.
My concern is buying a used controller with this. How would I be assured my credit card details arent being stolen bc the guy on facebook marketplace “made some adjustments”
If the controller is storing the details then yes that’s a big problem. I would hope it would just put the details in RAM long enough to send them and either the memory gets overwritten or all the memory is erased when the controller is off.
…but not own them.
Next it’ll be Mountain Dew verification cans
First of all how much easier can it get? I just have my paypal or venmo saved and can’t even remember the last time I needed to update it, it always works and always there.
Second if anything it should be on the console not the controller. Its just another thing that will drain my battery and for something that will never get used. If its on the system i could care less. Will there be options to buy without it?
