Sony's Network Ticket allows gamers without credit cards to make purchases off the PlayStation Store. Sony's lively collection of tickets will be available to purchase next week, June 6th. Japanese gamers must visit kiosks at a participating convenience stores and ATM machines.

So far, there are no plans on releasing the Ticket outside of Japan. However, depending on the popularity of these prepaid cards in Japan, that might change.

I hope they release them in Canada as well. I don't own a credit card so if there is something I want to buy on the store (like Warhawk)

I do not see this making a big impact until the PS3 sells pick up.

.. and PS3 sales will pick-up, when Blu-Ray movies are seen all over video rental store shelves.

I can find blu-ray movies at my local blockbuster (in Calgary, AB Canada) They don't even carry HD DVD any more. But PS3's sell out alot still so I can see why there is more interest. Back on topic.

If they are in convience stores and shopping malls it is like free advertising. It was also provide more more money coming into the store and to Sony. Which means Sony has more money to buy game studios.

Sony should put them in the rest of the World along side things like phone cards and giftcards.
