FFXIV Physical Gametime Cards Coming To UK Feb 2011? Info Given

So for Christmas my partner tried to buy me some FFXIV physical game-time cards. Obviously she couldn't.

BUT the manager of Gamestation (UK game store) told her they are due in around February 2012. I doubted this and went to ask the Manager myself and told him
about this whole pricing/paying debacle that's going on.

He said that he doesn't know about all of that, BUT they are stocking them in Febuary(ish) 2012.

Anyone think this is true of just a mistake on his end?

Doubt it's a mistake since a lot of 3rd party companies handles the distribution of time cards for MMOs, only a few of the companies actually handle it themselves. Considering SE said there will be more ways to pay for the game in January it does make sense if there will also be time cards for XIV since a 3rd party did it for FFXI as well.

I will double check this whilst I'm at work 2moro. A few of us play at our Gamestation and have not seen any mention of this
