Will the PSN outage cause a rise in PSN card purchases?

Gamers Outlook "Will the scare mongering and exaggeration which caused many to go to their banks and demand new cards, cause these same PS3 owners to now rely solely on PSN Cards to purchase their games from the Playstation Network? have your say"

Hopefully, I understand why people use their credit cards as they always have the money available for a game they want but I've always used psn cards because I could only imagine someone getting hold of my account and using mine

Joni-Ice4833d ago

I think PSN cards will increase. But thats a good thing right?

rabidpancakeburglar4833d ago

Yeah, it might even prompt them to release ones with more variety in price

NewMonday4833d ago

I only use PSN and Live points cards just in case something like this happens, better safe than sorry.

Joni-Ice4833d ago

@ Newmonday....So I guess this is the first time you will be using PSN cards because this is the first time this happened.

FACTUAL evidence4833d ago

Does it matters if sales rise for the cards?... either way sony's getting the $$$.

badz1494833d ago

only if it's fvcking available everywhere! there's no PSN cards here where I live but we do have PSN. so what am I gonna do? don't buy stuff I want? I have to use cc and unfortunately still do for the foreseeable time. :-(

Solidus187-SCMilk4833d ago (Edited 4833d ago )

Im also doing the same thing on LIVE. This whole situation has reminded me that its smart to save my credit card info in as few places as possible.

only problem now is that you cant get the exact amount of money you need with the cards like you can with you CC info stored.

But I actually like having extra money/points on there. Then I might buy some sweet stuff that I normally wouldn't.

Hopefully. I hate paying 20 bucks on a PSN card even though I only want a 15 dollar game.

yep, def the option i'll take from now on

Trey_4_life4832d ago

I'm going to carry on using my debit card, im from the UK and our banks are advising us not to worry and not to ask for replacement cards over this situation, they seem pretty confident that if such things did take place they would be easy to trace the culprits.

So yeah for now i'm quite relaxed about it, as relaxed as my bank is!

ilikestuff4833d ago

i believe the saying theres no such thing as a stupid question, but c'mon.

saladthieves4833d ago

I've already said this. Once the PSN is back up and running, these PSN cards will be rare to find.

More retailers should offer Instant PSN codes like shopto.net do. It's cheaper and quicker.

DontShoot-Me-Bro4833d ago (Edited 4833d ago )

Yeah i know right, well for us here in the UK, PSN cards are better because they are cheaper then what your actually spending.

£20 cards are around £17

£50 cards are around £44

rabidpancakeburglar4833d ago

WTF where are you buying them? they cost the full amount for me

DontShoot-Me-Bro4833d ago (Edited 4833d ago )

M-Easy4833d ago

I started buying cards a while ago. Not because of security but because I bought them from Best Buy which I got reward points from for buying them there. Win win :)

madcowz644833d ago

One things for sure I will be buying them more.

DWOM4833d ago (Edited 4833d ago )

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5162d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905162d ago (Edited 5162d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5162d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5162d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495162d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5162d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5162d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
