Hi Everyone! Kyle Moffatt, Senior Public Relations Specialist for Sony Computer Entertainment Canada back to the blog with some great news for Canadian gamers. With the Stanley Cup finals ending last week the team at PlayStation Canada figured it would be a great time to bring the prepaid PSN cards to Canada! The cards, available in $20 and $50 denominations, can now be purchased at EB Games and GameStop locations across the country. In the coming weeks and months you’ll also be able to buy the cards at: Best Buy, Future Shop, HMV, The Source by Circuit City and Rogers Plus entertainment locations with more to come.
It’s great time to pick up a PSN card so buy one today and check out some of the great content available like Flower or The Last Guy (two of my favorites) or a PSone classic like Final Fantasy VII or Resident Evil: Director’s Cut. You can also get ready for a game I’m really looking forward to – Fat Princess. Now Canadians can have their cake and play with it too!
Keep checking the blog for future posts from me. See you online.
It’s about time. I saw these in eb today and my mind was blown, i picked up 2 50 cards
YAY! thank you playstation!!!
I’m going pick mine up at best buy asap!
Oh man finally
YES! Thank You Sony! My only needs now from sony, are voice chat online across games on the ps3, video store, and you know what i can’t even think of another one right now, so keep it up!
@50
It isn’t due to the multi-lingual needs. It is due to the fact that our Ratings board for media is a LOT more strict. This in turn causes huge delays in bringing an equal service from the US.
Still, you think 2 years is more than enough time to rate a service and have it ready for Canadian customers. Blame the CRTC!
Anyways,
Thanks for the PSN cards! I know there will be many thankful gamers up here without the “luxury” of a credit card.
Damn I missed this. Kyle, I hope you’re still reading through the comments.
My Beefs with SCEA’s treatment of Canada:
1)No video Store. You’ve had more then enough time to do what you need to do already. You have no excuses for not having it done already.
2)Playstation.ca is a disgrace. It’s been updated like once in all of 2009 and still says copyright 2008 on every bloody page.
3) Quit ignoring Canada when it comes to contests. You’re totally capable of including Canada in all SCEA promotions. You’re choosing not to and arn’t even doing any Canada only stuff in place of it.
4) Why are retainers charging $69.99 for PS3 games when the Canadian $ is better now then when it was when they were still charging $59.99? $64.99 might be acceptable, but $69.99 is costing you sales.
.ca is updated all the time with new games and new content within the video player as a few examples.
In terms of contests we are working on doing more. Most recently Canadians could participate in the LBP design a golf course contest.
