"We are thrilled to be partnering with Valve on this new initiative," said Steve Nix, GameStop's GM of Digital Distribution. "This gives even more options to customers now that they can put money in their Steam Wallet using cash, gift cards or trade credits through our convenient neighborhood locations."
"GameStop is the most recognized game retailer in the world and a leader in providing a state-of-the-art shopping experience for its customers," said Jason Holtman, Valve's Director of Business Development. "Offering Steam Wallet codes at GameStop extends more options and convenience to gamers around to the world."

This is something that gamers have been requesting for quite some time now. It certainly makes it a lot easier to gift friends a game when you may not have easy access to a credit card, or simply do not wish to use a credit card.
Let's not forget just how great these will be for when you want a Christmas present from a family member who isn't exactly hip to the times. Just tell them to get you this gift card so you can pick up your own games at your leisure through Steam. Unless, of course, you like getting socks all the time from them.
It's win-win for everyone! Check out GameStop's landing page for the Steam Wallet gift cards and find out if a store near you is carrying them.
While these cards can be found in most GameStop and EB Games locations, not every location currently has them. So be sure to see if your local store is carrying them before you head out.
