Send a gift to a friend
The Playstation Network card is a prepaid card that will allow you to buy goodies for the PS3 from the Playstation Store and should come in handy for those gamers who don't have access to a credit card.Sony has now confirmed that the new card will make an appearance in early 2008.
The official website reads:
We’ve heard the call - usually around the time we update the PLAYSTATION Store - from loyal PS3/PSP owners who’d like to give (or receive) these cards as a gift, and from those who’d like an alternative to using a credit card to purchase things on the PLAYSTATION Store. So here’s an update: Yes, the option many of you have been asking for - PLAYSTATION Network Cards - are coming, and should start appearing at retailers in early ‘08. 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.
The news is from the US Playstation blog, so we assume they're referring to the US release date rather than a European one. We're seeking clarification on this matter and will update the article accordingly.
