The game for which this card supplies game time has been out of service for over 2 years. It was MMO game & it was fun when it was online but since noone can play it anymore this gametime card is only useful as a nostalgic item or a coaster.

Clarifying the purpose of this card

Many of the previous reviews have been debating whether or not you NEED this card to play the game. The answer is NO, you can pay as you go with a credit card. Why, then, would you purchase this card? Here are a few possibilities:

1. It's slightly less expensive to pay this way, at least if you order with Super Saver Shipping (it'll be ... cheaper/month... not a huge amount but it's something).

2. It may be easier to budget your money this way, in one chunk rather than a little bit here and there.

3. Most importantly, this makes a FANTASTIC gift for someone who currently plays the game or for someone also receiving the game. This would be the most obvious purpose, as I see it, to buy this card.

I really don't see how the prepaid card vs. credit card argument previously mentioned by other reviewers is even relevant to purchase on Amazon.com (unless you use a gift certificate or something). I think we need to look beyond that argument to see the actual features Earth and Beyond wants to promote with this card.

If you look at the details, and the points I'm trying to bring out, you'll find that this card has a few very specific benefits (primarily gift-giving!), works very well for those purposes, but that's about the extent of it. Very good for what it's intended for.

Just Wondering??

So, you need a credit/debit card to buy the time card on Amazon.com. And you only need the time card if you can't use a credit/debit card to suscribe directly. So why do you use it on Amazon.com and not just through EA? I don't get it..

Technically speaking, you don't need this card at all to play the game, the time card is just another means of paying for your subscription to the game (other than simply paying EA through their software/website).

Otherwise, I'll just mention that this game is a bloody expensive habit to form, and as a starving college student I can't afford it myself, though I have heard it is quite a good game.

Card Not Required

The card is NOT required to play the game, It is only needed if you do not have a credit card/Debit Card to pay for the subscription fee, or if you dont want it on your card. The game card just allows those who cannot pay for game by other means they accept.. Play the game.

Note: If you do NOT have Credit/Debit Card.. You will NEED this to play. Otherwise it is not required to have.

Watch Out

It's obvious that this card doesn't really need a review, but it IS needed to play the game, since i haven't had any problems with it, i gave it 5 stars, i also gave it 5 stars because of the game. I'm a beta tester for this and so far this games is amazing, i wouldn't even mind if this copy was the final product. I'm talking too much about the game, anyway, this card is needed to play so why not give it 5 stars.
