Sony is laughing in the face of economic recession by launching a new PlayStation credit card in the US.

As reported on the PS blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/11/24/get-your-own-playstation-credit-card/), using the card will earn reward points to spend on PlayStation and Sony products.

Plus, those registering for one before 31st December will save USD 150 (GBP 100 / EUR 115) on the price of a PS3.

Not a bad "savings" for our American friends this "holidays", then. No word yet on whether Sony has any plans to launch something similar in Europe, but we'll keep you posted.

"instant approval for your card, and an immediate $150 credit when you purchase a PS3 directly through the website."

not bad but your gonna get raped by finance charges lol

I think there is a 1 year grace period on finance charges, but many other ways exist to really get the better of you.
