The Taxman Prevents PSN Cards from Coming to Europe
05/26/2009 Written by Dan Massi
In an interview with the Belgian website 9lives, Sony Belgium revealed they are not planning to bring PSN cards to Europe. The reason?
“We know that the demand is huge, but it’s a difficult task to release them. Europe has many countries, and each of them has their own VAT [Value Added Tax], you know. We won’t say it will never come, but you can’t expect it in the near future.”
So, Europeans may see PSN cards in the future, just not in the near future. Stay tuned to PlayStation LifeStyle for more information on this as it arrives.

Why don’t they just unite the store and rest . . .

that has to be frustrating for Sony, they know they would make money, but they can’t because there are too many different countries with different tax systems. And if you don’t get those taxes accurately accounted for, someone is going to challenge you and take you to court. Complicated issue.

For a second there I thought we were talking about the forum signature cards.
Then I came back to my senses.
