They used to look like this:-


But now they look like this:-


These are the American PSN cards, to be used ONLY on US PSN, valued at USD20 and USD50. Works just like the Wii Points card or the Xbox Live cards, scratch and redeem.

I may be able to get some, so if anyone's interested, holler.

You might be able to get some? How come?
Where are they actually selling it in the states? 7-Eleven? Wallmart? K-Mart? Or game shops?

Why do you ask?

Kinda interested actually and curious too

For some weird reason, these cards are only available to stores around the Great Lakes area.

I'm getting 2x50dollars cards myself. With Square Enix's recent commitment to PSN, I'm hoping they would expand their offering to include Chrono Trigger, Parasite Eve or Vagrant Story. In the meantime, Xenogears and Einhander will be fine.

I'm interested, are they sold at the card's value or do they cost a bit more.

Purchase over the counter depends on the state tax on where these cards are located.

I'm still in the process of confirming these cards are still available at those stores im looking at. They fly off the shelves fast!

hey man. interested in getting the cards as well. do pm if u can get yea? got some games i wanna get, but cant

Great to hear you can find them in the states...even a few podcasts said they are hard to find...

Though I'm wondering why are you guys buying it if we can always use the AMBank NextG prepaid card to register and just debit it from the account like what a few of us is doing here...

If you guys like collecting the cards then I understand.

p/s: I've successfully registered and used the NexG card as three PSN stores (HK, SG and US)...so may you can give it a try.

p/p/s: Bro String, Mind bringing back me Rockband Bundle? The are selling it at cut throat prices here in MY... RM800++....

USD 169 + 8% Tax with 3.25 as FX is still less than RM600...

i'm interested in the PSN card as well, please do let us know if u are able to get.....cheers

may i ask, what are the PSN cards for?
i thought it's free to download demos and stuff..
sorry nooob question ya

Update on the PSN cards:-

Tax and my contact wants to make some money out of this venture, so I'm not sure if this is lucrative or viable anymore. For example, a USD20 PSN card now comes up to USD30+ if you want to get it from him. Transmission is via email so no shipping fee is accounted into that price, so you can do the math how much he wants to get out of this.

I will leave this thread as it is, should anyone is still interested after this disappointing news.

To the question of what is the purpose of this PSN card, some content on PSN are purchase-only. SO you need these cards to buy content. Otherwise, you can register in your credit card into the system, but there are reluctant parties in regard to submitting their sensitive data onto the ether.

err mr stringfellow
so for the $20 psn card, there'll be an extra surcharge up to $10++
hmm... i was thinking of getting the $20 card
can u estimate the price + surcharge for it
thanks

Dude, may I recommend something?
Try AmBank NextG credit card (not sure if its a credit card or a debit card). And use that to create an account with Entropay.

thx..i'll give it a go

NextG is a Debit card...so anyone over 18 can use the card.....no need for min salary...only use what you deposit into the account

Why would you use it to create an entropay account? I used it directly and no middleman charge at all...

Now if only I can use it on Jap PSN...right now the card only works on US, SG and HK store for me.

Owh, meaning it works on US PSN Store? I haven't tried it yet. Just read some beginners' FAQs.

you got sell?

I want to buy 1 also.. you got asia one? so hard to look at here...

Yup.. it worked flawlessly.....

not mine I am afraid

in some reason, my visa didn't work as it is suppose to be
error on loading fund to the ento card ... perhaps mistake done on my part

The first time I tried, it got rejected so I called the bank....and the bank said they never got any confirmation from Sony....

I asked what info can they get from my card...They said , Name, card no, exp date and the three digit verification code at the back of the card.

They will not be able to get your address...

So I think the reason it wont work is due to invalid address keyed in..when they checked the country, city and the postcode....try to put in a valid address..I put in my Aunt's adress over in Texas...and it worked flawlessly...

erm.let me check and report back. if this is true, then rock band coming

whoa..only applicable to AmBank NextG Debit card?

if yes, then need run to nearest 7-11 to buy one




i already topup my entropay just to buy 1942..but the internet connection is still not available

Not my AmBank Next Gen card... it doesn't work... but I use it to pay on Entropay... and it works like a charm...

Hmmm, they don't check the address part eh, then I think it should work with my mastercard then. Just load up a valid address from city/state of choice and viola.

Please do let us know if it works.
Planning to get 1942 too.

my visa seems to be problematic when it comes to entropay
well.. i guess i have to depends on the debit card

cheers

p.s: can we transfer credit between entropay accounts?

hey will those PSN cards be available on Play-Asia??

I retried, no luck

Guess if I want to shop in US PSN, have to get the card from eBay, same like how I got my japan psn topup last time..instead of getting the physical card, the dude emailed me the code...transaction done in 2 hours..but the US PSN i see expensive,,,damn

hi guys,got a question here...i also hving problems purchasing stuffs from PS US store...
am i able to purchase games from the US PSN store using normal malaysian credit cards?if yes,what address should i put in the 'BILLING ADDRESS' in the 'Account Management' section?
Thanks!

Do you have the link to the guy that you bought the Jpn PSN store card number last time?

if u need JPN card try this ebay itemid 280234732320

3000Y for ~RM115 with paypal.


so far as i rmb, only 3 of u - lapaq, rx and aiman manage to buy from US store directly using MAL CC. others usually fail at address verification. not sure why. maybe they need to verify their name 100% (first name+last name confusion thingie)

Thanks for the item id no acougan

Yes usually it the name part that give them problems...whether to put bin or not...or first name and last name need to change or not since Chine surname is infront but english name at the back...

My advise, check with the bank how to write the name properly

can any1 explain to me step by step on using the AmBank NextG for PSN US account?

i got an email from play-asia yesterday. the HK PSN card is now available. here are the link.
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zu-77-...rd-70-2713.html

HK psn card can use on SG psn or not? I don't have cc but applying one in SG. I can buy this card tho.. coz some of my game are R3 so.. I prolly need to get the add-on on Sg psn?

I don't have problem to use on US psn .. coz I'm using my mom credit card.. she and my brother, sister lives in NYC n dad passed away there also, now maybe I just need a Jpn gf who have cc to use on Jpn psn.. www

I juz bought Pixel Junk Eden for my gf thru US psn... think she will f*** delighted to see it tonite. Previously we use psn card but so limited.. now they are nowhere selling in jb or sg.

Can they can let us transfer credit.. over psn id.. if can then you people can paypal to me, and I will transfer the credit thru my us psn id. I don't mind doing this if it is not hassle.

Anywya what so great with us psn id other than alot of theme and wallpaper to download.. I found their games are more expensive 2-3 dollar..

1. HK psn card is only for HK psn ID.
2. u can get JPN psn card on Play-Asia website.
3. US psn card sell in JB??? are u serious???
4. i dont think u can transfer credit over psn ID.
5. i register US psn ID just to download game DEMO. i would prefer to buy games and add-on using HK psn coz is cheaper.

I was looking for psn card that work with SG psn coz my main id is there n for my r3 game add on coz i dont have cc . For US psn id i used my mom(in US) cc to add credit to my wallet. Ya the game in US psn r more expensive n need 80cents tax but this is my current way to get psn game until i get my cc in sg. I dont think there is any big deal with US psn anyway. Addon arent so importat to me. The SG psn card r so rare n nowhere to find.
