Exclamation Buy eshop games using Download Codes

Do you hate using your credit card to buy eshop games?

Well you are in luck as GameStop lets you purchase a digital redeem code for either game at exactly the same price it'd cost you through the eShop itself. The codes are only available in the United States at present (not including canada) and also they are only avalible for Pushmo or Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
More info...

UPDATE:
Now they are selling Kid icarus download codes

That's an interesting idea, but for only two games? I guess they're waiting to see if it catches on. I hope it does.

I wouldn't mind picking up Pushmo today from Gamestop, if they have the cards available.
I've been missing out on this for quite some time, I just hope the lasting appeal is good...

That'd be a lot of cards though.
I'm sure they'd only produce them for top-selling games.

Instead of making one card for each game they should make e-shop prepaid cards maybe 20$ and 50$ worth and use those to redeem the money in the e-shop and then buy any game you wish. There were prepaid cards for the Wii if I'm not mistaken. Aren't there any for the Nintendo 3DS?

If anything, I'd hope they'd release them for most of the 3DSWare.

They already have that for 20 bucks for the 3DS. I'd like for some 5, 10, or 15 dollars.
