We are pleased to announce that for our users in the United States, Perfect World Entertainment Prepaid Cards are now available for convenient purchase at your nearest Target Store!

To celebrate the release of these nifty cards a special promotion will take place for players who redeem these cards (over the next 2 weeks) with some very special prizes up for grabs!

Here's how this promotion works - Anyone who purchases a Perfect World Entertainment Prepaid Card(s) and redeems them starting at noon (Pacific Time), Wednesday, April 15th through noon (Pacific) April 29th will immediately be entered into a random prize drawing. The more cards you redeem the more times your account will be entered in our drawing so be sure to redeem as many cards as you can over the next two weeks to give yourself the best shot at winning!

Prizes are as follows: 5 players per server (25 total!) will receive the 'yet-to-be-released' Ninetails Mount! Trust me when I say that you will be the talk of the town when strutting through town on this stunning ride.

Another 5 players per server (again, 25 total) will also have a chance to win a bundle of 10 Pure Black Pigments! That's right - you heard me - Pure Black! 10 of 'em! Straight outta the box!

In summation, a total of 50 killer prizes is there for the taking. All that is required is a simple redemption of our new Prepaid Cards over the next 2 weeks. What are you waiting for? Target beckons and awaits your cherished arrival!

    So...
    $10.00 card = 1 entry
    2x $10.00 card = 2 entry

    $20.00 card = 1 entry

    ????

    I smell a HUGE sale of $10 cards.

    this really stinks...i've been waiting forever for this mount-the only one i really wanted, other than the white horse- and now its going to be impossible to get. yes, impossible, because with only 25 among how many players??? this is totally unfair.

    No whats totally unfair is not only knowing that they are choosing ONLY 25 people among how many players...but its restricted to the US only.Meanwhile the rest of the players around the globe just have to look on.



    If you want to talk about fairness try this on for size, your from the southern hemisphere you dont have a credit card best way to get gold/cubi without paying the extreme prices they are selling for ingame is via PaybyCash,you go do that only to find out that you have to pay just over double the amount for what you are wanting,then the bright sparks bring this **** along knowing they are giving away a rare item but wait ONLY US PLAYERS are allowed in the competition.Experience that then talk to me about fairness ..... At least you have a chance meanwhile the rest of us have to suffer.

    The pre-paid cards are like other payment systems: they give you zhen on your account, and then you determine what server(s) to convert it to gold on. Only characters on the servers you send it to will have access to the gold.

    it sucks on multiple levels.. 1, non-us don't have a chance.. 2, even if you live in the US, where I live, the nearest Target store is 2 1/2 hours away!!

    I buy gold/zen all the time.. but I'm not going to drive 2 1/2 hours to get a $10 cash card so that I have a chance of winning a mount.. when I SHOULD just put $50 into my account and be able to buy it (I figure when they come out, they'll be priced at 50 just because people want them so much and PW as a whole has been really greedy with their pricing).

    We could all learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names (like chartreuse), and all are different colors....BUT they ALL exist very nicely in the same box!

    i think they should make it fare for everyone all over the world. even if u live in the united states don"t mean u have the money to go buy these cards. there are poor ppl who play this game. this is my opinion

    Well I went to target the day after the cards went on sale (20 min drive) and they was sold out.. so where are all the chumps that live in Sherman, Tx? :) LOL!! People the mount is just what it is. A mount. Let the 5 glorious winners have their moment. And keep the price of it down by REFUSING to buy them from them. Eventually the price of everything comes down. Look at hell hounds. A 50$ item ( stupid price I think) and now you can buy them for around 4 mil a month or so later. Their greed depends on our willingness to SUPPLY them with the money for such said items! If they see that NO ONE on any server is able to sell their new pretty mount, coming out with them in the cash shop at an affordable price will be their only option.

    You want things to change? Well it starts with you. Refuse to purchase things at too high of a price and the price will drop. That how it works in the real world, that how it works here too. Just the world is too impatient to WAIT for change!!!! In the have it now buy it now era... u get less than what u pay for!

    Thats my 2 cents and some change worth :)

    yeah, but the real question is....WILL they ever release them to the shop? at this point, i have little hope of that.

    remember, this is the same bunch of folks who said that the new flying mount would be the dragon. and just where is it? no where. everyone was under the impression that the big deal about the last GM M&G was that they were previewing the next CS items. we all now know that not to be the case.

    Hello,

    The Perfect World Entertainment pre-paid cards are currently only available in USA Target retail stores. Please contact your local target with the below information and they can assist you in finding a location near you that has the cards.

    $20 pre-paid card
    UPC# 799366626183
    DPCI# 012150328

    $10 pre-paid card
    UPC# 799366629603
    DPCI# 012150327

    The DPCI# is the product code Target uses for this product and they should be able to find these pre-paid cards and check inventories with the above information. Just ask if they can locate the product at the closest store to you. Please note that some stores may not have the plan-o-gram updated for the section of the store these will go in so it is possible the product is in the store but not on the shelf. Also, some stores may not have been given a shipment of the cards yet as well so it may take a few weeks for all of the stores that will carry them to have them on the shelf for sale or even in stock. If you cannot locate these cards near you, then unfortunately you will have to either wait for them to be more-readily available or choose a different payment option. The Ultimate Game Card is at many locations including Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid, and 7-Eleven stores nation-wide. They can also be used with us for purchasing ZEN and act exactly like the PWE pre-paid cards.

    Hope this information helps you all! b:pleased

    ***ADDITIONAL UPDATE***

    We have had some questions in regards to the entries for the contest. Every $10 in pre-paid cards redeemed will be an entry and not per card. So for any of you that were thinking of buying a card will not lose out if only one or the other is available in your local Target retail store. Thank you.

    This is PWI. 'I' meaning International -ie the whole world. So why should it just be America that gets the benefit of this?
