Don't have a credit card? Want to purchase things on the PLAYSTATION Store? No worries. Now you have the PLAYSTATION Network card. The kind folks at SCEA sent us an early Christmas gift -- a card that's redeemable for PS3 and PSP purchases on the PLAYSTATION Store. No further details have been officially released, but rest assured that these cards will be readily available in retail stores in the future.

Or.. you DO have a credit card (perfectly valid Mastercard) but the PS Store rejects it for some reason (the reason being that they need to work on the CC transaction part of the PSN to make it function properly)
A PS Store card is a good idea. But as a Canadian, we're charged GST (Goods & Services Tax) when we buy from the PS Store. If we're charged GST when we buy the card *AND* charged GST when we make a purchase using the card, that would be... wrong. Let's hope Sony actually has the forsight not to charge GST when purchasing using the PS Card.
Yeah right.

Well, that will be nice, seeing as how the store keeps telling me my credit card info is invalid! Nobody over there seems to want to help me either. Nice billing system, Sony!

Not surprising since on the US store that's a section to "Redeem PSN cards/points?".

E X A C T L Y! My visa works EVERYWHERE! I always use it for both debit and credit purposes and i've never had an issue. Until now. I cannot sign up for their service because my card isn't valid (even though i bought lunch with it today....). And wouldn't it figure this random odd problem happens when they release a game people can't seem to shut up about? (beats.) I want that game so bad yet the only message i get from them is that my money isn't good enough since the card works perfectly fine.
Ohh and watch out. I didn't know if they were extremely picky about information, so when my card was declined i tried a few things a few different ways.. Yeah each try got me billed 1 dollar, so i have 5 1-dollar charges on my account. Cool so my card works for penalizing me, thats a first step.. the 2nd step would be to make the card work for THINGS THE CARD SHOULD WORK FINE FOR! BAD Sony.. BAD SONY!!

well lets hope that these cards work. If people have issues with their bank cards whos to say these cards will work 100%. So will these work if you try and buy something off the Japanese PSN?

I'm psyched about this because I always get my console point cards at discount when some store has a "buy one get one" or half-off coupon or similar on "console accessories". I'm proud to say I've never paid retail on Wii or 360, and I'm not about to start with PS3.

WTF Quit complaining about your damn credit cards. This is not the site to send in complaints. AND quit blaming the WHOLE Sony company, blame SCEA SCEE and SCEI they're the ones to blame since they're the ones organizing and distributing all of the PS3's. Be happy for a change at least we're getting the damn things. Better now than never, right. *Back on Topic*-*screams likea girl* FINALLY, I can't get a credit card and I've been expecting these for about 7 months now and I finally have a chance to buy High Velocity Bowling, That Poker Game, flOw, PAIN, ALL OF THE -GOOD- CLASSICS & PS1 GAMES, and the Resistance, Motorstorm, and Rock Band Add-Ons yaayyy!!!!
