Thanks to “extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe,” gamers in North America won’t be getting their hands on the Metal Gear Online beta as soon as they’d been promised.
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl fans in North America who want a free gift of the Darkrai Pokemon can head down to Toys R Us on May 31st and June 1st between midday and 4pm.

You might have assumed that Sony stores or GameStop would be the first to have PSN cards in stock. Not so, it appears. PS3 Fanboy reader Jeff spotted $50 PSN cards for sale at a gas station in Augusta, GA - right above the Seek and Find word-find puzzles.
Sony have confirmed that Playstation Network cards will be available in North America early next year. The cards will act the same as those for the Wii and Xbox 360, except they will do away with the sometimes confusing points system and come in monetary values. Eric Lempel, director of PSN operations pointed out the function of the cards:
“The cards will be redeemable via the PlayStation Store for PC, and on the PlayStation 3 to supply the wallet with funds to spend on games, add-ons, and other paid content.”
Thanks to some photos snapped last week we know that there will be a $20 card, and we suspect a $40 card to coincide with Japan’s JPY 5,000 card.
