PlayStation Network Cards

The PlayStation network card was created to meet a specific need but ended up with many more benefits. It was originally meant as an easy way to add online funds to the PlayStation store account without using a credit card. This was very convenient for teens who didn't have their own credit cards or whose parents were reluctant to enter their information online.

The idea was so popular that now you can get PlayStation network cards at a wide variety of retail outlets besides gaming stores that sell games and systems. You can also buy them through online retailers but that, of course, requires you to have a credit card or a PayPal account. In the United States and Canada they are so easy to find that you can usually pick one up no matter what store is on your errand list. They are sold by big box stores, gas stations, gaming stores, pharmacy chains, convenience stores and even the larger grocery chains!

PlayStation network cards are easy to redeem, too. Of course, you must join the PlayStation network, and unlike Xbox Live membership is free of charge and joining is quick and simple. One you log in, all you have to do it click the "redeem" button. You will then enter the 12 digit code on the card and the funds are immediately transferred to your online wallet! Although the card itself expires twelve months after purchase, you can keep the funds in your wallet for as long as you wish without danger of losing it.

In the past you would have to go to a gaming store or retail center to buy a game or add-on. Then you would have to find a place to store the discs and be sure that you had the license key in a safe place. Some people had entire shelves full of CD jewel cases! With the PlayStation network card, you can fill those shelves and drawers with other useful things!

It's easy to get the cards, which come in denominations of $10, $20 and $50 and even easier to use them. You can pick one up at the grocery store or the gas station or convenience store where you might stop to get gas and a cup of coffee. Best of all, you keep your personal financial information to yourself! You can now purchase these PSN cards in the UK, as they are getting increasingly popular for gamers in the UK and Europe.
