Sony are going to have to introduce these along with the PSP Go! If not then I can see a lot of retailers snubbing the Go! in favour of the UMD PSP-3000 in order to help push more sales of physical copies of the game which gives them a cash flow.
That being said I can't see retailers making much money from PSN cards, although I'm not sure how similar things work such as mobile top ups. Anyone know?
In related news I'm hopefully getting a PSP-3000 in October along with a 16GB memory card. The price? £185. Now how much was a PSP Go? :wink: sweet. :D So if the psn cards do come out over here will we be able to use them to download stuff off the US store?. no. is the simple answer. The cards only work in the region they were made for. If you want to download stuff off the US store you need to buy a US Prepay card or link a credit/debit card to your US acount.
I can't see many stores bothering with the pspGo! much unless they start selling games via prepaid cards.
According to an article i read on kotaku stores don't make any money off PSN cards as they have a monetary value so they can only sell them for the price on the card. which coincidently is how much they buy them in for. Hurrah! Europe is (maybe) getting something after Japan and USA has it. Wait that always happens. SCEE need to pull their finger out more and give EU PS3 owners the same experience as the other regions. Otherwise it's just not Crciket is it? No you can't. If you want to buy from the US store go to Ebay and look for a North American card. You even benefit from the exchange rate. about time im sick of using 3v cards i hope they come to the uk because i'm 14 and don't have a credit/debit card |
