Hunting down the elusive North American PSN card
While that last bit is just a guess, there is one thing we know for certain. A sighting like this coupled with a confirmed Spring release pretty much points out that these cards will be out in more direct ways possibly sooner than we think.

They have had these for 3 or 4 months on military bases. At the PX/BXs and at the gas stations. Maybe I should sell them on ebay.

I was thinking about the ebay thing too. Make a few bucks and help out people who can't otherwise get PSN downloads. Yeah, it's a good deed... that's it ;)

Military bases? Really? Man, that's somethin'.
If this stuff about the cards having been available in gas stations and chain stores is true, then the recent blog post is likely just about them actually getting the cards to game stores. You know, where we'd expect to see them in the first place.

For every Zune card you buy the Zune Guy gives you a big fat-ass thumbs-up!

I don't have a PS3 yet (get it next month), but I was curious if you could add funds to the PSN Wallet with a debit card instead of credit card?

Assuming you are in the US then yes. For Canada no.

yea i use my debit card for all of my PSN and WFC purchases. it just charges it like a credit card and your good to go. WFC got a little fussy with my card at one point but its good now and i dont think i even had a problem with the PSN.

Yes u can. i buy debit "pre-paid" cards at the mall. you could even get them at ACE CASH EXPRESS, i use "SIMON" but after it runs out of money you must go get a new pre-paid card and re-inter a new card number on the account info. its quiet eseay well for me.
its so easy no vredit cards required, i dont know why people complain so much. thats how i bought Tekken DR and everything else.

We've had them in Toronto available at just about any form of franchised retailer since the fall. I honestly have no idea what the whole thing is about. I keep hearing "they're coming".. but they've been here?

These cards are harder to find than Osama.
The only difference we're actually LOOKING for the cards.
