Teh linkage Seems the two juggernauts of game sales are mingling a bit in the form of prepaid Steam Wallet cards. An attempt by valve to bring Steam awareness to consolites? A preemptive move to prepare for the rumored steam box? Either way, more Steam in any form is a good thing IMO. What say you, warriors of the keyboards?

Whoops! I'd been busy with graduation ceremonies and didn't catch it, mods can lock this one up if it's old news or just let it drift to oblivion :P

Well it was a rumor before, seems to be confirmed now. So that's news.

If it's confirmed it's to help GameStop back up since all this crap about used games blockage and stuff. Good thing.

This is a good thing since I don't do online transactions on PSN, XBL, and Steam because I can't find any trust in it. I woud rather get prepaid cards than use a credit card.

Nice, just shows that Gamestop are willing to put effort into DD instead of trying to compete with it.

That doesn't make sense.

Why merging digital distribution with brick-and-mortar? :?

I didn't realize this at first but I have like $100 worth of trade in credit left over since I traded in over half of my PS3 games last year. Now I can use that credit for Steam games since I hardly ever buy console games anymore

It does seem like a pretty smart way for valve to get in on the money from used games

Well that is just wonderful.
Now I don't have to ask my dad's permission to use his credit card anymore. He didn't so much care for me purchasing Batman Arkham Asylum on his credit card last week >.>

Great news. For those consolers who haven't used Steam, Steam is IMO the best online gaming service and it's free! Did I forget to mention the awesome weekly, weekend and especially summer and christmas sales.

Definitely a good thing, I prefer buying prepaid cards like this rather than pay using a credit card.
