日前，Facebook为玩家推出了面值分别为15美元、25美元、50美元的Facebook礼券，并指定零售商店Target作为该礼券的首家发售门店，其中，15美元面值的Facebook礼券将由Tar-zhay门店独家发售。

从9月5号起，如果你在零售商店Target内购买露营器材、厨房设备、服装等东西，就有机会获得Facebook礼券。如果你也玩过社交游戏，就知道Facebook礼券是怎么一回事了，它可以在FarmVille、Mafia Wars、Bejeweled Blitz、City of Wonder、FIFA superstars等社交游戏中购买虚拟道具。据有关方面预测，全美用户今年在社交游戏和虚拟道具上的投入将达16亿，如此一来，Facebook礼券可望迅速成为购买这些虚拟商品的通用“硬钞”。

可以预见，随着2010年假期购物季的到来，这种蓝色礼券必将在各大零售商场走俏。

我可不是嚷嚷而已，我也准备让圣诞老人给我捎带几张Facebook礼券，谁让这些东西这么抢手呢。唯一对此有异议的当属Zynga公司游戏产品的粉丝，因为Zynga的游戏也自己“发行”了另一套“钞票”，Facebook礼券在他们那里可兑换不了啥东西。让我们拭目以待，看看究竟谁才是这场虚拟货币之战的最大赢家。

Facebook Credits gift cards set to rule the world. First stop: Target

TweetIt’s official — Target has everything. In addition to buying camping supplies, kitchen equipment and cheap designer duds, you will soon be able to buy Facebook Credits gift cards.

Starting September 5, Target will be the first retailer to carry these cards, which will be available for $15, $25 and $50. The $15 card will be available exclusively at Tar-zhay.

If you play social games, you know that Facebook Credits are quickly becoming a popular way to buy virtual items in games such as FarmVille, Mafia Wars, Bejeweled Blitz, City of Wonder, FIFA Superstars and more. To see a complete list of games that accept Facebook Credits, go here.

Considering that Americans are predicted to spend 1.6 billion on virtual goods and social games this year and Facebook Credits is quickly becoming the de facto currency for making those purchases, we’re sure that we will be seeing these bright blue cards in every big box retailer when the 2010 holiday buying season rolls around.

Hey, I’m not complaining. I already plan to ask St. Nick to stuff a few of these in my stocking as well. The only people that might have a problem with these cards are folks who work for FarmVille publisher Zynga (which has its own special form of currency for its games). We’ll see who wins out in this virtual currency battle in the end. (source:games)
