Thats where we will have to agree to disagree then.

My own personal view is that if an 8 year old is old enough to be left alone playing on a Playsation, can navigate the Playstation store, see something he likes and follow all the prompts on screen to make that purchase then the parents should take responsibility for the money owed to the BIL.

On what basis is the money 'owed' to the BiL?

How do you know it didnt? Without the OP returning we will never know.

I don't I was questioning your statement not making one of my own, you did mention navigating to the play station store, you do strike me as a bit tetchy TBH. After all you are the one making bold statements and jumping to conclusions, I would just like to see what process got you to that end.

I think you also need to start educating your child a bit more when it comes to purchases. This is the screen he would have been presented with:

So (once again) you've made something up, presented an opinion as fact, and used it to criticise the OP.

And then when someone points out that your so-called 'facts' are nothing more than fantasy, you've got no answer.

I havent made anything up. Ive given my opinion.

However what you are disagreeing with is a fact. When you make a purchase via Playstation, you are presented with that confirmation screen.

These are not presented as opinion, but as statements.

Of course the child has done wrong. The child knew exactly what he was doing.

Most others in this thread are giving opinions based off information given by the OP, you seem to be injecting facts to fit your 'opinion'.

Even if it is like that with in-game purchases, the user interface is designed to be intuitive. It is entirely likely the child just clicked buttons quickly without reading the information (if it is like the Xbox, the screens are identical for free downloads and purchases). I stand by my opinion that the child may not have realised he was spending money.

Even with ingame purchases you get the same confirmation screen.
