Just got my first card, a $10.00 card to test the water.
They call you to verify your details??? Why I dont know, but they did this within 2 minutes, and within another minute or two, the number was emailed to me.
Good service, if a tiny bit expensive.

Very expensive in comparison to the above.

Entropay cards (card numbers) were banned some time ago.
I don't know of any other methods.

Another one I've used from time to time.

They are all slightly more expensive, but what can you do?

Update:

I've purchased a $50.00 card from http://www.gametimezone.com/games/psn.php
Price: $56.00 so for them a small profit, and dont forget paypal take a small cut too.

Very fast service, the code is emailed to you almost instantly.
The USA PSN store still works, it's not region locked.

But the US store does contain a lot more choice, and overall is actually cheaper and cheaper by a fair amount. The more you spend the more you save.

There are a lot of games available on the US store that will never see the light of day in Europe, and some games that Europe will get eventually but quite some time later. Again though, the US store is cheaper by comparison.
Very very expensive, my $50 card cost me less than £30, theirs is £40

A word of warning:
Movies are NOT available, this is only for games.
For some reason Sony dont want us EU residents accessing the movie store, but games are ok.

Anyhow, that said, does anyone know of a good free US Proxy server?

It doesn't seem to work though. I've setup a proxy but I either get kicked out of PSN, or I just cannot access the movie store because I still can't see it.
Damn shame too.

You know there is a way cheaper way to get us psn cards or canadian since all the content for north america is the same. I set up paypal you pay pal me the increment you want i buy the card i email you the number for no extra cost. 10 bucks is 10 bucks not 15 for 10 thats just a bit stoopid.

just sayin.

just found a new USA PSN Card supplier: http://www.pcgamesupply.com
I've ordered a $50.00 card and I'm waiting for delivery, it takes up to 30 minutes.
