Just yesterday I would have rather used Bitcoin instead of a credit card to buy a game on my nephew's PS3 over the Playstation Network. The process of entering my contact details took several minutes. Afterwards, we had no idea how to remove my credit card from the system.

Simply checking out with a QR code and sending the Bitcoin from my phone would have been easier and not required any of my personal information. Instead I had to enter everything required for identity theft and to make fraudulent charges. It was the only way to pay and it was a hassle.

I can enter my credit card details in about 15 seconds (30 on mobile). "Qr code" and "simply" do not belong in the same sentence.

Bitcoin Wallet on Android makes it pretty simple, at least for me.

15 seconds? Including your address and phone number? With a PS3 controller?
