They’re here! Mana Knight has found PlayStation Network Cards in the US at Meijer - who are the only people currently selling the cards, according to a manager at the PlayStation Network Hotline. So those of you in the Meijer-inhabited states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio are in luck - the rest of you will have to keep looking.
A Kotaku reader didn’t recently find PSN cards in a store. What he did find, however, was the spot where they would have been if they were available. Can’t be long now…

Strangely, we get the same as the other PAL territories this week - looks like someone forgot to tell Activision that Australians have never heard of Die Fantastischen Vier.
Yet another week with very little of interest. I can’t believe we’re still waiting for Everyday Shooter…

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.
