4.0 out of 5 stars The Only Way for Latinoamerica, October 22, 2009

This review is from: Sony Playstation Network Card - $50 (Video Game)

I purchase this card and I sent it from amazon to Costa Rica, because I want the Map Pack 1, 2 and 3($9.99 each) from the Call of Duty WAW.

I tried to buy dollars to my wallet in the PlayStation Store (in my ps3 slim) with my credit card, that have the billing address in LA, California, but it didn't work any way.

So, I purchase it and now I can play the 3 map packs. There is true that we need to spend more money($5-6 to shipping, $3 taxes, $7 to bring to CR: $65 total) to get this card, but is the only way to get some add-on, games, themes or something else in the outside of US like Latinoamerica.

3.0 out of 5 stars The overhead is crazy!, May 18, 2009

Sony makes purchasing games on their Playstation Network incredibly hard. I entered my credit card a dozen different ways, entered things exactly as they appear on my billing statement, and even looked through their FAQ online, but still couldn't add anything to my PSN wallet.

So my Plan B was to purchase a PSN Card. Holy cow, the overhead is ridiculous. Let's look at the numbers:
1. $50 charge for money that you can use in PSN. This is a given.
2. There is also shipping and handling. This added a few more dollars.
3. I was also charged taxes on the card.

So, after all was said and done, I got my card delivered to me for a little less than $60. But that isn't the whole story. I purchase a few games online. Each game I buy online, I get taxed again for THAT purchase too. Outrageous.

I thought this was my only option for getting money into my account, but now I see the overhead isn't worth it. I'll definitely try getting some other credit card account going, or something, before trying this again.

Maybe you are in a similar pickle as me, and if you are: I feel your pain. I do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product but lousy provider (Target), April 16, 2010

The card and the Playstation Network work fine, on the other hand the card's seller, Target, does not give a good and honest service.
They sell stuff that is said to be on stock and charge for express delivery, but in every purchase I've made from them through Amazon, they deliver extremely late and in parts.
Amazon did reimburse me for my last express shipping fee, but I was never able to contact Target. So Amazon great, Target lousy.
