Micro-transaction based MMOs are becoming increasing popular among teens who may not have ready access to a credit card. Because of this, Gala-Net is offering prepaid game cards at Target.

Gala-Net today announced a new partnership with Target. Under terms of this agreement, the retailer will offer Gala-Net's prepaid cards at U.S. store locations. This alternate method of securing money for purchasing items in games like Flyff, Rappelz, Corum Online, Shot Online, and Upshift StrikeRacer on gpotato.com will be available at Target starting May 13.

"Offering these Game Cards at Target is very important for an MMO publisher because we want to be able to reach a broader market," says Jikhan Jung, CEO of Gala-Net. "Teens are the biggest fans of our online games, but since they are too young to have a credit card to purchase gPotatoes, these prepaid cards will be the most convenient option to purchase our premium items. Our denominations are ideal! They are perfect for our gamers who are on a budget."
