PSN cards now at Blockbuster, AAFES, other regional chains

Companies are naturally nefarious...They want to grind your money dry and annoy the hell out of you...
Gamestop will shrink to a spec one day...

But at least Americas Economy is collapsing thanks to the fall of those banks. Anarchy!!....

GameStop doesn't carry them because they require activation at the register, a way to prevent shoplifting because Sony wants them prominently displayed (see the guy holding $140 worth in the picture, I don't the bought that much). Since GameStop doesn't have the ability to activate cards at registers, the vendor can't ship them to the store. (A sony rep lives in my apartment building).

Joe: You argument is kind of weak. Why would GameStop not carry the Sony cards but still sell Microsoft and Wii points?

LaVat: You're absolutely right about the economy and GameStop losing it's place in the market, but that's in at least twenty years. Once a company has enough capital, it takes a long time for them to fall. And GameStop is one of the few companies that is doing exceptionally well in this economy. Becuase they do grind your money.

Hey pal...I am doing my part in destroying the economy threw the use Fake bills and Circular Kiting.

There's 2 Pamidas within 10 miles of my hometown. They usually can be found in rural towns that don't have more than 5,000 residents. Basically, they jump on any town that Wal-Mart hasn't moved in on.

I know what you mean. AAFES is usually crap when it comes to gaming. I work at a relatively large base, and new games always take 2 weeks to arrive after street date. But hey, tax free purchases are nice.

The AAFES here in Korea is good about getting games when they first come out but once out of stock you better off ordering from Amazon.com.

Like I said in my post below... They won't sell.

But hey, the CGES I work at, though a tiny store, actually has a somewhat good selection of games. You have your basics like Mario Kart and stuff... but then you have the titles you've never heard of like "Theme Park Game 2".

Otherwise they only send us new games like once every 2 months.

Walmart already tried to buy out AAFES but AAFES denied it because all of the profits that AAFES makes goes towards the base and organizations on it. If Walmart owned it, the money would just go straight to their greedy hands.

I was stationed at Luke AFB and their video game section was terrible. Before that though, I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall but always went to RAF Lakenheath's BX. Their video game section used to suck ass before they remodeled the place back in 2004-2005 but when it opened back up, they expanded the area and it was sweet. I used to always love that when you couldn't find a certain game, AAFES always had that rare game in stock for some reason.

I think that's because the psn cards are activated at the register unlike the Live & Wii points cards. Like all those gift cards at you local grocery store.
