Sony PSN cards available at midwest retailer

File this one under “late to the party.” According to a thread on NeoGAF, Sony’s PlayStation Network Cards are finally appearing on select shelves – more specifically, Meijer, a retailer in the Midwest. Why aren’t the monetized slits of plastic competing with Microsoft and Nintendo’s respective efforts elsewhere? Allegedly, the PSN cards are still in a “beta phase.”

Also of note, PSN cards can apparently lead to double taxation – once when your snag the card from the store, and again when you ring up whatever you’re buying on PSN. Sony certainly won’t be stealing Doublemint’s slogan any time soon.

    Finally. Having a US PS3, this is exactly what I need, since my credit card doesn’t work on the US store.

    PS3’s are region free, for games anyways, but yeah twould be nice to get access to some of that US content seeing how we in the PAL regions get royally shafted at every opportunity

    Yeah my card works on the EU store, but the EU store is complete shit and always gets stuff late. There’s been a few times where I wanted something from the US store and wasn’t able to buy it due to my card not being accepted.

    For anyone with a UK card and a desire to buy US content, I can confirm that Entropay works extremely well.
