Virtual Goods: Ultimate Game Cards Now Online

2008_09_16_payby.jpgPayByCash (a subsidiary of PlaySpan) has announced that it has launched an online version of its Ultimate Game Card, a stored value card that supports over 200 multiplayer games/virtual worlds (including Age of Conan, Club Penguin, Puzzle Pirates, and more) and is currently available at retail.

Resellers can now purchase game codes in bulk and choose between instant delivery of digital codes or delivery of physical Ultimate Game Cards. The digital codes are redeemable in all of PayByCash’s supported games, and are argued to be an "ideal product for Internet cafes and game centers," according to PayByCash's release.

“The acceptance of Ultimate Game Card has been swift, with sales doubling every month over the last few months,” said PayByCash president, Kevin Higgins. “Multiplayer games and virtual worlds are international and there is a strong demand for a global version of Ultimate Game Card. We are now pleased to offer Ultimate Game Card to resellers worldwide. Selling the Ultimate Game Card is an immediate way for virtually any business to generate revenues and bring new customers into a physical store location.”
