Pre-paid PSN cards headed to the U.S.

I see how it is, Sony — you must think we at Destructoid don’t celebrate the holidays. We may be slobbering animals, but we not only observe the Festival of Lights and the birth of Jeebus, but we haven’t taken an eraser to the Kwanza entry on our out-datedBuffy the Vampire Slayercalendar, either. PS3 Fanboyare feeling the holiday spirit, as Sony have sent them a card redeemable for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable purchases on the PlayStation Store....

Tekken 7 is nearly here, have a look at its cast minus Roger Jr.

RIP Roger I’ll just take a secondto pour one out for Roger(jokingly, as Harada rolls with trolls and hoaxes all the time). Would a Fosters be appropriate?

The usual suspects (Paul, Law, Jin) are obvious, but you should be able to find someone you like in the roughly 40 character roster that will drop in the console version....
