Capcom VISA Card

I am not crazy about credit cards, but I am not afraid of them, either. I only have two of them, and I think that's enough, but I can't stop laughing when I think about those associating credit cards with the number of the beast and who can't sleep at night thinking about conspiration theories. Unfortunately, I have no gaming-themed credit card, but I think I would grab one, if given the chance.

Since I am not always lucky, for now I have to give you the good news of new Capcom Visa cards, limited to the US market, for now. OK, so we have a Capcom Visa card, but what can we have ON it, from the visual point of view?

The pre-paid debit cards I mentioned have designs based on Bionic Commando, Street Fighter IV, and Resident Evil 5, and the interesting part is that cardholders will get access to closed beta tests, competitions, limited-edition stuff, and even invitations to various game launch parties and price cuts for attending Comic Con and other similar events!

Damn, that's what I would also like to get with a card, but until then...here's how you can get these Capcom-branded Visa beauties: $9.95 for the card, and an initial minimum deposit of $10. Monthly fee goes as high as $4.95, with the maximum deposit allowed on any given day being $2,500, and the total balance ceiling going as high as $5,000.

Oh, yeah, one more thing - you'll also get 15 percent discount on all Capcom online store products, so this is simply looking great! That's it folks, I am out of words, I am going to cry in my corner now. I hate my bank! :|
