PSN Cards Coming To Blockbuster And 7-11

Linkin Park Fan | August 27, 2008 | News | Playstation 3

Its been taking a while. And Sony is doing it step by step. At first it was released in just one store. What made it worse was that store was only available in 5 states. Well we finally have an update that on what stores are getting these. In September Blockbuster, 7-11 and Riteaid will start carrying the PSN cards. The cards will come in two different versions. A $20 version and a $50 version. These cards will work for the PSN store and the Video store.

Use your PlayStation®Network card to purchase and download exclusive games, videos and more for your PLAYSTATION®3 and PlayStation® Portable systems!

Visit your local Pamida, Meijer, Blockbuster and Speedway stores to pick up the PSN® card.

Retailers joining in September: Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and Riteaid

I only have a 7-11 in my town, and it's run by self-indulgent adults who care less for PSN cards...Dammit.

  You must have a blocbuster somewhere near your house?
  
  I have one really closely, so this is good news. Plus its also starting to have a really good blu-ray collection.

    Nope, no Blockbuster in my town. In fact, there isn't one within a 100km radius.

      In southern Manitoba, just 75kms west of Winnipeg, which has a lion's share of Blockbusters.
      
      We do have a movie/game rental/purchase store, but it ain't no Blockbuster.

"Retailers joining"

Why do retailers have to apply or join to sell these things, it is like the story of the PS3's life "lets give people a choice" when you give people a choice most won't do the extra work to make it happen like custom soundtracks... Just do a Microsoft and make the cards almost mandatory to stock along with 360 hardware and software.

WTF? STILL no EB/Gamestop stores that have these? Seems stupid IMO. I'm sure others feel the same >_>

Well, there is a Blockbuster near here, and one near my dad's, so yeah.....I'm sure I'll be able to get one (once I have the MONEY for em, that is).....
