After a ridiculously long wait, we may finally see PlayStation Network cards arrive in Europe. Asian markets have had them for ages, the US and Canada caught up months ago, but so far the poor Europeans have been left out of the loop altogether. Needless to say, PS3 gamers in the EU without the use of a credit card have been at a disadvantage; no PSN games or priced DLC for them.

However, as announced by Sony Europe Boss Andrew House at Gamescom, PAL territories will be getting PSN cards later this year. We still don’t have a firm release date, but there are a few predictions out there. Wikipedia.com writes that the cards will be released next month, though an article on PushSquare.com suggested back in July that they will hit shelves alongside the PSPgo in October.

Whatever the truth might be, an FAQ has recently surfaced on the UK PlayStation Network News site which leads us to believe that us Brits in particular won’t be kept waiting too much longer.

We hope to have further details on these pieces of plastic soon.

It seems like ConsoleShop.be has some PSN cards that they expect to be delivered on 1st October. It seems that there's cards €20 and €50. We think we could do with some smaller cards than that, but it's better than nothing. Note that the PSP Go also releases on 1st October, which may well turn out to be a fateful day for PSN.

However, Edge asked Sony, who said they were actually Photoshopped versions of the US PSN Cards, who have had them for ages (lucky buggers). They didn't deny that cards would be coming to EU lands though, so there is still a shaft of hope breaking through the leafless canopy of uncertainty.

That was a little bit melodramatic, wasn't it? Regardless, we'll keep this firmly in rumour until we get something more concrete - like a confirmation.
