What will top your holiday gift list this upcoming season?  I would venture to guess that quite a few FarmVille Freaks will be asking for the new and upcoming Facebook Credit gift cards.  As reported by USA Today this past week, Facebook Credit gift cards will become available for purchase from Target stores sometime in September (along with several other retail stores by the end of 2010). The cards will be sold in quantities of $15, $25 and $50 USD in stores across America as well as online at Target.com.  Facebook Credits can be used among the many social games played through Facebook to purchase virtual goods.

A picture of Facebook Credit gift cards (left) showed a slogan of “The quick & easy way to get premium items in your favorite games and applications”.

As USA Today pointed out “this will be the first time Facebook has had any presence in a retail store”.  The sale of these Facebook Credit Gift Cards will demonstrate for the first time the profit Facebook can make by their major role in the social gaming world.  Once again I want to know, Does Facebook need games like FarmVille? Or, does FarmVille need Facebook? With users being able to purchase something ‘physical’ from Facebook, that will surely display their money earning power in a real way to users.  I know I have felt a lack of support from Facebook in several situations, such as security breeches or lack of customer support in general.  Lets hope the “10 million active users a month”, or even demand, that Facebook improve user support and privacy options.
