PlayStation owners will be pleased to know that Sony has announced mass local availability of Network prepaid cards in various denominations as well as 3-month and 12-month PlayStationPlus membership cards.

Fans can pick them up from popular convenience stores and supermarkets including 7-Eleven and will soon be available at Giant, Tesco, and Cosway. Previously, these prepaid cards were only sold mainly through gaming shops and electronics retailers.

Each PSN prepaid card contains a digital code which consumers can redeem to top up their e-wallet for purchases such as full games, add-ons and membership from the online PlayStation Store. PS Plus is the premium membership service which offers additional benefits to gamers, including online multiplayer on Ps4, free game downloads and discounts on selected digital content.

The prepaid cards serve as an alternative for consumers who do not have credit cards or alternative payment solutions when they are required to make digital purchases at the online stores.
