Reader Josh was doing a spot of shopping in his local Meijer the other day and came across a couple of price stickers - for the long-awaited PlayStation Network pre-paid card - sitting in the aisle of the gaming section. No cards, just the stickers. The one pictured is for a $20 card, while Josh says there was also a sticker up for a $50 card as well. Sony are still quiet on a precise release date for these, but with this information heading out to retailers they hopefully won't be too far away.

PS3 uses five times more energy than a fridge

That's just not cool

By Nick Farrell: Wednesday, 04 June 2008, 8:53 AM

AUSSIE CONSUMER GROUP Choice, claims that consoles such as Sony's Playstation 3 chew up five times more energy than a fridge.

Apparently a fridge will go through $50 worth of electricity a year while a PS3 will cost $250 a year even if it is not used.

Vole's XBox did not use quite so much juice but came second behind the Sony. The PS3 used ten times more power than the Nintendo Wii.

The report said that the Apple iMac with a built-in display, consumes just two-thirds of the energy consumed by a traditional PC and that LCD monitors were more energy efficient than the CRT versions.

Yup a nuclear power plant...

From the comments here I'm guessing we absolutely can't get a local credit card to work in the PS Store?
I just bought mines Saturday and figured I'd get Tekken. Man, what a load of crap. I does buy stuff all over d place and flickin Sony doh want my money. Microsoft does be too happy to take the same money on XBL.

errr....

Xbox Live does not accept Trini Credit Cards either...

Anyhowz...My ps3 is registered as a Canadian account basically cuz i was born there...
The account not being a US one was a major hurdle for me...

But then!!!
My cousin from Canada came...brought her credit card...
Yay!
We pay her back in cash and use the card to get our stuffs...

The PSN Prepaid cards will hopefully be out very soon for those less fortunate on the online side of things...
@ Tekken...bought it 3 days ago...
Wicked fun...

Anyhowz... Exar welcome to the Dark Side...

And whats your PSN ID?
And what games you picked up?

It does, or at least used to. I'm not on XBL anymore, but all my subscriptions were paid using my RBL card.

this usually happens if the person who invited you is in a game already. but the time you get the invite the lobby is full.

Something similar happened to me when I tried to sign up for World of Warcraft some close to a year ago. It told me the credit card was invalid yet it charged me the full 15.00 US for the two times I tried. I emailed Blizzard but I never got a response or the charge removed. Needless to say I never felt to play WOW again.

When I used my card for XBL I used a relative's address in NY as mines. I assume a skybox address will work just as well.
Normally the only problem I've ever had in using my card online is that some sites require a US billing address. So I got my skybox address added by the bank as a secondary billing address and those problems fixed.
This is the first time I'm ever encountering the need for a credit card actually issued by a U.S. bank.
I'll try to see what I can work out of Sony regarding this. Maybe they can manually put it through. If not I can level steady cuss at them for applying charges to my account.

@Eroo: That's really weird. Between myself and my cousins we've used local cards for WoW for a really long time without problems. If something like that happens again though you need to call the credit card centre and tell them to reject those charges because you're not receiving the service.

I might get the special edition if i getting a good price....


@ Exar_Kun... well we did the same with adding our skybox address to credit card billing info and it still did not work with Playstation.
It works on amazon, and other online retailers though...the skybox address that is...
