    Are there 3DS prepaid cards in the wild yet?

    I've been looking around the internet and I'm reading conflicting reports about the availability of these cards for the eshop up here in Canada. Some people say they have seen them in stores like Best Buy and others have said retailers don't expect to get them until next year. I went to couple stores and they either said they didn't have any, and never did, or to try a Wii points card even though I know that won't work... So any Giant Bomb users see or use these cards? I just got that damn system and want to download a couple games.

    I know they are out in America, but not sure about Canada. Try some Google searching and see what you find. They have to be out in Canada right? The eShop came out during the Summer so that's plenty of time to start getting the cards.

    @JJOR64 I looked around the interwebzzz and all I found were conflicting answers about the status of these cards in Canada. I hear Europe has been having problems with availability as well.

    @Crono11 Mind if I ask what Walmart location you work at? I bought my 3DS at Walmart yesterday and they didn't have any.
