PlayStation Network cards coming this month
By James Kozanecki on 05 November 2009
Sometime later this month, retailer Game will begin selling cards with prepaid PlayStation Network credit.
While our American and European cousins have been able to purchase PlayStation Network Store credit from brick-and-mortar retailers for a while now, the options have been more limited down under. All of that is about to change very soon. From mid-to-late November this year, gamers who don't have access to a credit card — or simply don't like giving their details out online — will be able to purchase PlayStation Network Store prepaid credit.
Epay will be providing the infrastructure to power the transactions, and once purchased, consumers will receive 2-digit codes to redeem either AU$30 or AU$50 worth of PSN credit. Epay will be the exclusive distributor across the Australian and New Zealand market, with national retailer Game set to sell the vouchers later this month. No other Aussie retailer has confirmed it will sell the product, but it will be interesting to see if EB, who turned its back on Sony's PSP Go, will jump on the bandwagon to sell PSN funny money.

I was in Game Parramatta last week and they were already selling them. My son has a PSP GO and this is an ideal way of paying for his downloads and you can buy the vouchers as gifts as no UMD's are used for the GO. I hope more retailers jump on board and start selling them. It's been a long time coming.
