    A good question seems stupid that they dont have them yet, it would mean more money for sony and not cost them anything really.

    Distribution, printing, dealing with retailers, etc. means they are far more expensive for Sony then just dealing with people online via credit cards etc.

    All of which can easily be covered with a small surcharge on the price of the card. They'd certainly make money from me if they were selling them.

    A system like a topup voucher would be good where its printed on demand through the EPOS system. Kinda like buying itunes vouchers from o2 stores.

    It would be better then storing cards that contain actually codes. Still require a digital distributor but that distributor could cover most EU zones.

    Alot of people with games consoles dont have credit cards though, so theres a gap in the market for those people, teenagers etc who could spend their pocket money on cheap downloadable content.
