Fans of Sony’s PlayStation consoles now have a chance to express their undying love for the gaming product by getting a credit card officially tied to the brand. Not only can gamers have a credit card that can look like their favorite games, it can also score more points for Sony’s rewards program, which can then be used on the PSN Store.
Owners of PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles will already be familiar with how the PSN Store rewards system works. Every time a player buys something, be it a game, a downloadable content, or an item off of a microtransaction market for a game, that player would earn points. In the PlayStation blog post announcing the credit card, it was revealed that players would earn significantly more points with every purchase using the card.
“Working with our colleagues over at Sony Rewards and Capital One, we are excited to present a new PlayStation Credit Card with rewards designed specifically with gamers like you in mind. Beginning today, we’re inviting all of our fans to start turning your everyday purchases into a number of amazing rewards and benefits,” the post reads.
As for the points themselves, using the card increases the rate to rack them up by up to five times. This can be done by using the PS credit card on the PSN Store itself or in any participating retailer. As Destructoid notes, however, there is no list as to which stores are participating.
Aside from the increased number of points that players will get when shopping on the PSN Store, their first purchase will net them $50 worth of store code. Players can spend this on anything they want, be it a new game or some additional digital items.
What’s more, players can apparently choose which video game theme they want to be featured on their plastics. Titles like Uncharted 3 and Killzone 2 are up for grabs, with several others available to fans.
