I actually did not know this, in Europe prepayed cards are not available for Crysta - or at least I don't believe they are as they're not available from Amazon or GAME in the UK and people in certain countries around Europe were unable to subscribe when payments started up again due to mismanagement of the crysta online purchasing system, a problem easily solved if they could go and buy a card.

I personally buy Crysta as a security measure, I buy a certain amount of Crysta and don't save my card information in an attempt to reduce risk if my account is compromised, as such it didn't cross my mind you could by cards from a game shop.
