PSN director sheds light on PSN Cards |
Ó
We've reported earlier that PlayStation Network Cards have been confirmed for the United States. At that time, few details were dropped as to how they'd work and when they'll be available. Now PSN Operations Director Eric Lampel fills us in on these areas.Writing in the US PlayStation Blogs, Lampel seconded the confirmation that these Network Cards are alternatives to using credit cards for online purchases. He then revealed that the target implementation period is in Spring of 2008.
"The cards will be redeemable via the PlayStation Store for PC, and on the PlayStation 3 to supply the wallet with funds to spend on games, add-ons, and other paid content," explains Lampel.
The PSN Operations Director then said that the cards will be available in retail stores and promised to keep us all updated about this exciting new product. Stay with us as we await more news.

the truth is that he says that will be available early 08 at retailers... it can be in any moment of the 1st quarter of 2008 but I think it will be in spring too...
These are perfect to give to someone who has a PS3.
sony should not be hyping this, they should instead be apologizing due to the lateness of this thing. the nintendo wii has this when it launched, xbox live also have this. now after 1 year of ps3 launch sony is just unveiling this? why are you sony ps3 products always late? if ps3 is an employee, it could have fired by now. heck even game stores here in japan dont know what a Playstation Card is! now on to the good part. of course sony will also make similar denomination as the japanese counterparts which is not that successful due to POOR marketing and POOR delivery. Here in Japan we have these at 1000yen, 3000yen, 5000yen and 10000yen. hence US will also be getting this in 10$, 30$, 50$ and 100$ denominations. the bad thing is you cannot top-up/load-up your Non US PSN account with these, the good this is you can easily exchange it with people from other territories who wants to buy US PSN DLC. ex i can trade my 1000yen for your 10$ so you can buy from JAP PSN and i can buy from US PSN. catch is the trade is fair but the exchange rate is not. its kind of complicated but not. in the real world 1000yen is just 8$ but since we are talking PSN currency its a fair trade because the prices in Jap PSN mirrors the US PSN, if you buy SuperStardustHD on US PSN its 8$, if you buy SuperStarStrikeHD (same game) on Jap PSN its 800yen, so US will still be getting same worth of DLC in the trade off. Europe is another story, maybe they'll just cut the denominations in half 5, 15, 25 and 50 europe money.
Late huh? You mean like how microsoft was when fixing the red light of death? Its better to have something taken longer but done right, than to have it done quickly and wrong.
