Capcom to Offer Game Theme Debit Cards

According to several gaming news sites, publisher Capcom will be releasing a new series of game-themed “Unity” debit cards.

The co-branded Visa debit card is the first of its kind in North America. The cards will feature art from Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5 and Bionic Commando.

The pre-paid cards will also let gamers earn points on Capcom-Unity.com, cash back from online or retail purchases and earn “accelerated rewards” through the online Capcom rewards mall…

Unity card holders will also be able to “jump the line” at Capcom events or gatherings, gain access to Beta tests and other things like “being written into a Capcom game or comic book or possibly even being an extra in a Capcom movie.

The cards actually look pretty damn cool. Except, it’s not so cool when you have a $5 monthly fee and a set-up charge.
