   I ask this question because I get mine online from ZAVVI.
   Most shops charge the RRP (£20 voucher = £20 cash), but online it's less, I've paid as little as £16 (with free P&P).
   I can't remember how I found out ZAVVI had the best deal, it may have been from this very site.
   So for all you new people... spread the word. ;)

   Retail. Buying PSN cards online can be difficult for Canadians as you may be sent an American one, which wouldn't work on our accounts.

   Literally every chain corner store, and big box retailer sells them, so it's not a hassle.

   I've never actually seen them on sale. 360 XBLA cards are on sale frequently, both in retail and online. But for PSN, I just bite the bullet and pay full price. At least there is no tax.

   Wow - I've always bought mine from Amazon but looking on Zavvi.com they currently have £20 PSN cards for £17.95 with free delivery!

   Awesome - thanks for the heads-up! :-)

   Hey volcane, how much were you paying before?
   The 20 quid vouchers on ZAVVI are a steal... but the 50 quid ones made me laugh. ;)

   The £20 vouchers on Amazon always seemed to be £20 (i.e. no discount) so I gave up snd started just adding money directly to my wallet. However I'm bgoing to buy cards from Zavvi from now on! :-)

   Zavvi only seemed to have a 5p discount on the £50 cards when I looked, which isn't quite as tempting! ;-)

    oh dear! Perhaps that is how they get their money back on the £20 cards?! ;-)

    ShopTo.com charge £17.95 for a £20 card and £44.85 for a £50 card.

    However, the difference is that you get the code instantly and can add it to your PSN wallet on payment (no waiting for delivery).

    With Quidco (a cashback site), you'll also receive 71p in your Quidco account for a £20 voucher and a little more (not sure how much yet) for a £50 voucher.

    Oh man, that's awesome. Does anyone know of US websites that offer discounts? I'll start searching so if I find anything I'll post it here.

    Now, as I'm a member of the HMV Pure promotion, I buy my cards at HMV. That way I can rack up a tonne of points without getting taxed, and use the money on cool stuff.

    I don't usually buy cards, I just buy the games off Amazon. That's because I haven't been able to find a site that sells US cards for cheaper than they're actually worth.

    lol, from ShopTo.com's description of the instant PSN codes:

    "Add funds to your PlayStation Network wallet without needing a credit card"

    How do they expect you to pay them then? XD

    Anyway, thanks for the tips guys, until now I have been paying full price by topping up the wallet directly. This should probably save me a little money. (Or end up costing me more, as each time I put £20 on, I'll end up spending it all instead of just buying one game =/).

    Is that ShopTo.com site definitely legit? I have never heard of or used them before...

    Yes they're absolutely fine. Not had a problem with them (except their website is rubbish and borderline unusable on slower connections) and I was pointed to them myself. I must have bought at least £100 worth of vouchers off them this year.

    As for that quote, they mean you can buy the voucher off them - or get your parent/guardian to buy them for you. Hence, no credit card required on PSN.

    Here's their website. Just type PSN in the search box and you should see 4 entries for vouchers. 2 are for codes sent to you via post and the other 2 are marked "Instant Code" in the picture. Buy one of those and you'll get the code back within your profile fairly quickly...
