PSN cards expanding to Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and Rite-Aid in September

by Andrew Yoon on Aug 27th 2008 5:00PM

The only time we ever saw a PLAYSTATION Network card was when Sony gave us one for Christmas. Never -- not even once -- have we seen these cards available at a retail store. This is easily one of the most demanded items from our readers, many who don't have a credit card to use for the PSN. Thankfully, support for these cards will expand in September to stores we've actually heard of.

According to the PlayStation website, these pre-paid cards can be found at Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and Rite-Aid this September. So whether you're renting a movie, drinking a Slurpee, or buying some condoms in a rush -- keep an eye out for these PSN cards.

time to hit up 7/11...*wink wink*

sweet!

condoms ftw!!!

Too bad you have no use for them.

anyways like ive said like a million times use visa gift cards.

No sir, condoms FTL....birth control FTW!!!

Yeah man, condoms FTL! Tons of STDs FTW!!!

I chuckled @ Daniels comment, and "laughed out loud" @ brazenheaded's comment. Good Stuff man.

apparently sony has stopped taking visa gift cards. My brother and then I tried, wouldn't work and we called sony and they said they stopped accepting them, because they aren't accountable or some crap.

PSN is for lovers.

We need it the other way. Blockbuster online expanding to support streaming on the PS3!

Except Blockbuster is a sinking ship, and Netflix is completely raping it.

Netflix online offering is piss poor. If Blockbuster could set up a much better online catalog they can earn alot of dollars.

I've seen these at my local sony store (sonystyle) in Orange County, New York. They had a bunch but I didn't need one seeing as how I have a debit card already.

Finally Sony said something about the PlayStation cards. It's been too damn long, but I hope this is also for the Blockbuster and rare 7-11's here in Canada (No Rite-Aid).

7-11's rare in Canada?? We seem to have one on every other street in Manitoba here.

Not just in Canada. Houston, TX doesn't have any 7/11s either.

There's plenty in the Greater Toronto Area including the suburbs

why don't you guys just go to meijer?

Will these be out in Canada?

Yes! I have a Blockbuster right around the block!

I saw some red and black $50 PSN gift cards at the BX in Abilene, TX... Dyess AFB. So apparently... the military has PSN cards.

Now...if they could only start to stock JPSN cards I would be happy.

Ok thats 1 $20 PSN Card, 1 Big Gulp, and a pack of Weenie Beenies. That'll be $29.87 please. Ahhhh OK, I"ll just put this back. Here you go. Your change sir, and have a great night. Oh I will. ..............Here's your pop honey. Where's the condoms? Yea I'm sorry babe, they were all out.

AHAHAHHA HILARIOUS!! GOOD SHIT!

I don't even care anymore. I've heard this story a million times before. They'll come up with another excuse as to why they are not here yet. I personally don't care as I have no use for them, but SCEA has pissed me off many times to many.

I truly second that. DelayStation truly lives up to its name

I will probably buy these once in awhile. My credit card needs a rest. ;-)

Hey PS3 Fanboy,

I'm Mana Knight, the one who spotted PSN Cards at Meijer and took the picture of Meijer carrying them. I was going to say (not sure if you ever mentioned it), Speedway Gas Station Convenient Stores have PSN Cards right now. Others on forums have reported it and I've seen them there too. I should have taken a picture, but oh well.

the only other place ive ever seen these were at a speedway in the middle of nowhere, IL

Why can't they just send them to Walgreens or EB Games?!?! I'm afraid there's none of the stores mentioned in Puerto Rico. Of all the stores!!!

FINALLY!!!! U DONT KNOW HOW MUCH STUFF I WANT ON PSN!!!

they carry em' at citgo gas stations too
brutal

Canada aswell right?.....right?

Definitely gotta pick up some PSN cards with my next Trojan purchase.

Actually i do have a use for them. Me and my brother and several people we know can't even get our cc to work. I called the help line and all their advise did not work. So why is it so hard to ship these to a best buy or wal mart. I mean the wii and the 360 have so what is the deal

I have all three of those within a 1/2 mile of my house!

Cant wait for PSN CARDS.already have condoms.

I, too, have fallen for this "coming soon" ruse in regards to the PSN cards (remember the December post on the blog about how we would be able to use them very soon).

Then it hit me... September of WHAT YEAR?

Finally I can pickup blunt wraps and PSN cards in the same store! (711 that is)

I still don't understand why they aren't testing it int he European regions, it will be an even bigger hit then it would in NA.

Does anyone have any idea when the PSN cards are gonna come to Wal-mart, Best Buy, etc.?

Thanks in advance

To the canadians asking about the cards, here's the response from the email I sent off asking about Canadian Blockbusters and 7-11's:

Not very helpful answer but expected nonetheless

I get a $50 PSN every payday. That's because I work on a Air Force Base though. I've been telling the store manager to advertise them because they can't be found everywhere but he don't listen.
