Compared to Microsoft Points while the PSN Wallet is jumping up and down on its desk screaming "PICK ME PICK ME!"
Honestly I think I'm missing something though. How is this helpful on Steam? From what I saw in trying to buy $5 to put in my wallet just to look at payment options, it's the same thing as if you just wanted to buy a game directly. Please enter your credit card/paypal/etc here and you can put $5 in your steam wallet. Or I could just buy the game directly like always and skip the extra step.
So unless they're going to sell redeemable cards in stores, this seems a bit pointless to use yourself. I guess it would be nice if it lets you gift the money to someone else though (I didn't go far enough in to see), but to just buy a game for yourself, seems like an unneeded extra step.
EDIT: Okay, more people posted while I was typing. Good deal for Valve I guess if people use it, but I'm not seeing how it's any benefit to me personally when I can just skip that step and buy a game right away.
