Hi Guys
In case you hadn’t heard there is now a new way to get your hands on the great PS3/PSP content from PSN without using a credit card.
Available now, or coming very soon to most games retailers, PlayStation Network Cards are pre-paid cards that allow you to top up your PSN wallet by either £20 or £50 (or equivalent in your currency for those outside the UK, e.g €20 or €50).
Use PlayStation Network Cards to get hold of loads of content from full games or expansion packs on PlayStation Store to any of the great SingStar tracks on the SingStore, there’s always something new to enjoy. You can even use the credit to buy new apartments or clothes for your character in Home.
They also make a great gift for friends or family; why just buy someone a game when you can offer them a choice from thousands of pieces of content?
Buying and using the new PlayStation Network Cards is really simple. Once you have your card, all you do is:
- Log on to PlayStation Network.
- Visit PlayStation Store, select ‘Redeem Codes’ and enter the code.
- That’s it! The money is instantly available to spend on whatever you want.
So don’t miss out on the latest PS3 and PSP content with the new and easy way to top up your PSN wallet: PlayStation Network Cards!

Thanks for the replies, I thought it was too good to be true
Oh well, I guess a possible deal with UK’s amazon (like the American counterpart) won’t do me much good after all.

“no, you need to get a card from the country of the store you are using”
Come on, why put up artificial barriers for things like this? I can understand not being able to use a UK or Swedish card on other accounts as they/we use Pounds and SEK. But why on earth can someone in Belgium not pick up a Dutch or French card and redeem it? What’s the point of a single european currency?

Great to see these finally here, got my first card the other day way easier than the old way I had to put money on my wallet.
As said above awful waste of plastic but hopefully just a temporary packaging until Sony can get a more greener package.

Whoever approved those plastic boxes deserves to lose their job. Where’s the ecological sense in it? These codes should also be available to buy online, so a lot less need to be manufactured. I’m shocked that Sony (and Microsoft from what I hear) is this environmentally ignorant!

Anyone who think this is a wast of plastic (as I do) should use a creditcard!

For everyone complaining about wastes of plastic should really read the first reply in this thread.
Besides, what’s wrong with a bonus CD/DVD/B-R case? I’m sure I’m not the only one with a whole bunch of blank CD’s that need cases.

I think the plastic cases are bad too! Maybe if sony see the volume of responses they will alter their approach to the vouchers (or as a previous poster suggested, once they have used up surplus game boxes).
I think orders on the internet could easily be an email with the code in it, for purchases at a store, they could have a system similar to the top-up voucher on pre-pay mobile phones which is just a standard receipt with the code on it.

For all those complaining about the waste of plastic and i agree it is, but im glad as my Uncharted 2 turned up early yesterday in the post and the box had been absolutley destroyed. Luckily the disk itself was fine so i just put the uncharted sleeve into my spare PSN BluRay Case

Geez… people need to ease up in SCEE a little.
I finally pick one of these up here in Australia, after seeing them in the wild for the first time.
Yes, the Bluray box my seem excessive, but I think its for the benefit of the retailers than anything else, as it lets them stick the boxes on the shelves in amongst the games, thats what the shop I bought mine from was doing, I wouldn’t have noticed they were selling them otherwise!
Thanks SCEE for finally getting these available!

Would it be possible in the future to combine the PSN cards with the mobile phone top-up card system? As in, linking your card to your account, then just going to a newsagents to put money on it? That would make them re-usable, and mean that someone wanting a £21 game could put £21 on their card. I’d definitely use that.
