GameStop Throws in the towel, joins the Steam Empire

The Steam Gift Cards are now official. You can now get a steam gift card at your local Gamestop (US Only) in either $20 or $50

Great to see steam listening to the demands of the fans.

cool. its about time

It would be nice if it came to other countries as well, like, say Canada, which is just north of the US.EliteM0nk3y

North and south/east. Don't forget about Alaska.

PC gamers still go to Gamestop? Really? :lol:

Lulz just stepped in one for the first time in a year and just spotted those cards. I think see a lot of overweight fellas in there Im guessing they are all preordering some game.

I'm surprised Gamestop isn't pushing their ownership of the DD service they purchased from Stardock, namely Impulse.

Seems they would be telling PC customers to try it out.

Exactly the same thing with mine, but its nice for perheps for gifts and those who may not have a credit card.

Probably because they know it sucks and us PC gamers prefer steam.

I just logged into steam and saw this and Im quite happy. I figure I should load up on some to get ready for the summer sale. That way instead of having to worry about my bank account I will already have pre paid steam cards instead lol.

Gee. I wonder which game..? :P xDElann2008

Must be max payne 3! *sarcasm*

Making more payment options available to customers is never a bad thing. I prefer prepaid cards like these, will definitely be purchasing some of them soon.

They should start selling them at the grocery store too so that I won't need to go to GameStop to get them...

I think that was his point.

Another good thing is you can kind of double dip. I can buy these at gamestop and get points on my rewards card while still getting my steam game.

They are already working together a little bit. Some of Valve's games are turning up on Impulse now.

This is excellent it makes it easy for family members to gift me games cause they can just give me one of these :)

Nice to see PC gaming step even further into console territory

Did they already sell cards for impulse at the Gamestop stores? It would seem odd that they sell cards for the competition, but not for their own service.
