Looking to buy a PlayStation 3 but don’t have the money up front? Well, Sony has the deal for you. Above, you’ll see the brand new PlayStation-brand Visa credit card. It’s a real item that you can use to buy things you can’t afford and then pay massive interest rates on them when the monthly statement comes around. The best part is that if you want the card and a PS3, Sony will give you $150 back from your purchase, given that you go through the proper channels.
The $150 pseudo-rebate starts today and will roll until December 31. One way to initiate the savings is to visit Sony’s official PlayStation credit card site, enroll for the card, and purchase it through the online store. The other way is to just enroll on the Web site and buy one at an “authorized PlayStation retailer.”
If you just want a sleek Visa card stamped with the PlayStation logo, you can do that, too. Apparently, the card also has PlayStation-specific rewards if you like racking up the pretend money. If only I didn’t enjoy it so much.

Thanks god youngsters under 18 can't get a Visa for a discount on a PS3, too many wouldn't even know how it works (heck, many adults don't seem to).
The way I see it is I use my Credit card for "everything" from Coffee to food to TV's, then I just make sure I have the money to pay for it.
Then I pay if off at the end of the month which equals 0% interest, which is always awesome. Plus, if you use your debit card a lot with your current bank and rack up charges because you go over your monthly limit a credit card will save you some $$ on your banking fees!
