Gala-Net To Offer gPotato Game Cards At Target

-Sunnyvale-based Gala, Inc. subsidiary Gala-Net has announced a partnership with Target to offer its gPotato Game Cards exclusively through the retail chain. The prepaid game cards allow users to purchase in-game items and accessories for games hosted on gPotato, Gala-Net's online portal.

Users with the gPotato Game Cards will be able to log into and buy goods from any of the portal's titles, including Flyff, Rappelz, Corum Online, Shot Online, and Upshift StrikeRacer. The cards will be available at Target locations in denominations of $15 and $30, displayed in the stores' Entertainment sections.

Said Gala-Net CEO Jikhan Jung: “Offering these Game Cards at Target is very important for an MMO publisher because we want to be able to reach a broader market. Teens are the biggest fans of our online games, but since they are too young to have a credit card to purchase gPotatoes, these prepaid cards will be the most convenient option to purchase our premium items. Our denominations are ideal! They are perfect for our gamers who are on a budget.”

I have searched all of the Target stores in my area and cannot find the gPotato cards. They are not available. Where else can I obtain these cards? I wish that the cards were available at Wal-Mart because there would be more stores with greater access for this product.

I want to purchase more gPotato cards!!!!!

i know but i guess gala people dont like to get that much money because if they sell cards in walmart they would get tons of cash faster >.>

I was at target yesterday and I couldn't find these cards either. The electronics associate didn't know what I was talking about when I asked about them.

uh i checked out a t arget store today... wasnt there... checked target online and guess what? IT AINT THERE. stop tryin to trick us :(
