Get a credit card, save on a PS3

Now might not be the best time to be getting a new credit card, but if you happen to be a gamer who's racking up charges anyway, a new PlayStation credit card could be the way to do it.

Yes, a PlayStation credit card. The card, issued by Chase Bank and announced Monday on Sony's official PlayStation blog, lets you earn reward points toward the purchase of a PlayStation and other Sony products.

Through an introductory offer running from now through December 31, cardholders can save $150 on the purchase of a PlayStation 3. Which hopefully will offset the debt accrued when stocking up on the likes of Little Big Planet, Dead Space, and Fallout 3.

You can get the knockdown by going www.sony.com/newpscard to get instant approval for your card, and an immediate $150 credit when you purchase a PS3 directly through the Web site. Or you can go to www.sony.com/getpscard to apply for the card and upon receipt of the card, use it at any authorized PlayStation retailer to purchase a PS3.

I acquired a PS2 for a few months now, but didn't really have time to play on it. I started searching for cool games, read lots of reviews to find the coolest PS2 games. During my search I found <a href="http://www.pcdistrict.com"> tons of great reviews, the latest game releases and game related news on PC District</a>. I visit it regularly since I'm still interested in cool PS2 games.

LOL.....can't you even come with a creative ways to spam your stupid site.

I mean seriously.

You either acquired a ps2 a few months ago, or you have acquired a ps2 and have had it for a few months.

Also, why would you search for "cool" games if you didn't even have time to play your ps2? Just doesn't make sense. How do you not have time to play your ps2, but have time to search for reviews on the "coolest" ps2 games?

Everybody knows places like IGN (and CNET) are where you go do get reviews on games. Why would you go to a website titled "PC District" if you are looking for ps2 games?

Also you coding didn't work.

I recently signed up for a sony credit card a few weeks ago to get a PS3 and a $150 instant credit. I had no problem whatsoever. The only weird thing was i purchased the PS3 at full price on the sonystyle.com and was worried i wasn't going to get the discount. After calling the service center, they assured me that the 150 credit would be posted to my account (next billing statement) within 6-8 weeks. Sure enough, my first statement showed a balance of $280.00 ($30 was added for shipping).

I used this for $100 bucks off last month, it's a great way to save some cash on the amazing system/blu ray player, plus if you are smart you can use it to build some quality credit, just pay it off before the intro APR ends of you'll be hit with at least $24 in finance charges.
