Canada?
Radek @ Sep 26th 2008 4:35PM
I have a sinking feeling that the answer is no
lorddshadow @ Sep 26th 2008 5:15PM
if you've got to ask, it's probably no.
Fred Martin @ Sep 26th 2008 3:45PM
Good thing. Spent nearly 30 minutes trying to buy one at a Blockbuster. The register couldn't scan it or sell it. The person behind the counter spent the whole time talking to managers and other stores trying to figure out how to sell it to me.

Thank God! Now every PSN related article can stop being littered with people bitching.
My financial institution bestowed a magical plastic form of debiting upon me. The power it possesses allows me to bypass formalities such as incremental payment cards. mwahahahahaha

Those should be a big hit. I never understood why they were vaporware for so long.
sirpilf @ Sep 26th 2008 4:09PM
for one, i saw one at a super america gas station about 4 months ago, and two, WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG?! sometimes i think sony is run by HAL 9000 who is just trying to screw sony up or something. it should not have taken 2 years to get PSN cards to big retailers.
ddog @ Sep 26th 2008 4:09PM
i cant wait! no store in my city has them (i checked em all!!!) hopefully these new ones will carry them in my area. i hope i hope !! el paso better get these cards
dicknjane @ Sep 26th 2008 4:34PM
why the hell did sony make us wait 2 years to release a "card" to let us no have to use our credit card? seriously. how hard could it be to release this thing?
ryan @ Sep 26th 2008 5:01PM
because it takes 2 years to make plastic cards with redemption codes. :P
Fane @ Sep 27th 2008 5:05PM
Not that I'm disagreeing completely, but the delay seems to be caused by the various computer systems used by the retailers rather than by Sony physically producing/distributing the cards.

Does anyone know where if and where I can buy these cards online for a reasonable price ? Aren't available in europe yet -.-
Jon Acheson @ Sep 26th 2008 4:58PM
This is useful, as PSN doesn't like my new credit card.
nakedatthecomp @ Sep 26th 2008 7:40PM
Is there really any bonus in using these over a credit card...?
Fane @ Sep 27th 2008 5:06PM
Security.
bill @ Sep 26th 2008 8:37PM
i doubt that they will be coming to canada during that time. i find it funny that they sell it in other places in america like meijer, blockbuster, 7-eleven, rite-aid, military air bases whatever they are called, and gas stations but not the sony store. Pretty much everyone who has a ps3 in canada wants this but noooooo, you want us to wait longer. This is the only thing that pisses me off about sony.
Grey @ Sep 26th 2008 9:22PM
I hope there is a way at some stage to buy these Online. If anyone finds somewhere please let us know.
Peter @ Sep 27th 2008 3:59AM
Gamestop?
Or would that be too sensible for Sony America?
Paultje @ Sep 27th 2008 5:09AM
And how about Europe????
tomo_lifeline @ Sep 27th 2008 5:08AM
I really want these in the UK, it would make it so much easier for me to get things like Wipeout, especially as my debit card has expired and I haven't yet been sent a new one.
P.G @ Sep 27th 2008 1:52PM
Does anybody know whether these cards could be used to purchase items from European PSN stores being in the US. I would love to be able to use these to, for example purchase Singstar songs (Judas Priest - Breaking the Law !!!) that are not available in the US
Mark @ Sep 27th 2008 2:03PM
FINALLY!! ive been waiting forever for these things!
OTAM @ Sep 27th 2008 3:24PM
I have $55 dollars worth of store credit at Gamestop.
Help me out Sony.

I hope that time goes fast 4 in my near blockbuster there is no PSN
cards at all
Topsu @ Sep 28th 2008 5:48AM
Why the heck don't they release these magnificent cards in Europe too and actually worldwide?? I mean, they have been available in America in little gas station's for ages. Sigh. This would open the gates of PSN-goodies for many and many other people who may not have a credit card available.
drepsx3 @ Sep 28th 2008 11:21AM
