PSN Cards in Canada - How do they work?

Hi,

Since PlayStation Network Cards are now available in Canada, I was wondering if it's a good idea to buy. Basically, I don't want to store my credit card info on PSN Network, but would rather go for a PSN Card ($20 one).

My concerns are related to the experience I had with iTunes cards in Canada. Apparently, you can buy music with it but not apps! I still have a few gift cards sitting at home with no use. So if anyone have used these PSN cards purchased in Canada, will you be able to answer these questions:

1) Can I used the card to purchase anything on the PlayStation Network?

2) Can I only use this card with a Canadian PSN account or will it work with US or UK etc?

3) Is there an expiry to it if there is a balance sitting on it after a year or two? (I know iTunes have something like that)

4) Are there ANY restrictions to the use of it?

Thanks,

Yes, you can buy anything. It's just a "general funds" added to your wallet. Just the same as going to the store and able to buy whatever that store offers.

It's Canadian only (what it says on the legal copy on the back of the card)

As far as I know, it doesn't expire. People have claimed they've had funds in their wallets for months without change. I've had funds for about a month and it was fine.

Unlike the obsessive "Nazi control" with Apple, Sony seems to keep it simple. Buy, add and buy.

Pretty sure that the Canadian cards won't work for other Playstation stores, and DEFINITELY not the UK store. UK DLC is region-encoded and thus will not work with US or Canadian-bought games.
