so how do those of us who have not received anything continue this game??

Applying lateral thinking skills here, I guess there could be those who play using the cards and gaining those clues, and an online component for those who don't want to buy the cards, just less clues for online only players (kind of a no purchase necessary thing). That would mean relying on the kindness of strangers for more clues.
I forsee legal issues here. "Hey, i'll give you $1,000 for a hint..."

Is it possible the points are actually irrelevant, there to make the cards look like collector's game cards?

i think maybe, going by the "how to" on the back of the cards, you will sign up to perplexcity.com (once it properly 'goes live' ie. once cards are on sale) and enter the answer to each puzzle you solve. if you eventually enter all the solves to one particular series of cards, you'll get bonus points. i think the lucky 333 got the code at the bottom of their letters possibly as a code you can enter on perplexcity.com to get more bonus points and the rest of the package is just some extra niceness for those quick enough.

don't know how happy i am with having to buy cards to participate but in the end i'll probably just grumble and buy them anyway

I think this is being discussed to death, if people don't want to pay they don't have to pay.

No point making assumptions as to how it will all work. Check the sites or wait for you package, and here's my piece of mind, for free:

even PMs have to eat.

edit: this isn't just the card game, im pretty sure that was made clear on day 1. it's a whole new type of experience, and i for one think the idea is novell, who doesn't want a chance to own a part of ppc memorabilia.
think it through: 333 cards. what after you solve the 333 puzzles you're going to magically find the cube and win the cash?

maybe.. crazy idea.. just maybe.. there something more to this than a bunch of cards.
and that's all i have to say about that.

Maybe it's all a Perplexian test to see whether we are trustworthy. Let's face it, we have already discussed whether we would keep the cubes for ourselves. If the money doesn't divide us, if we stay strong as a community and keep working together for the sole reward of finding the cube, maybe then they know they can trust us and they'll tell us a bit more about the cube.

Frankly, the amount that we pay for other computer games, I don't think one pack of cards would break the bank. If we try to collect them all individually, that might do it, but we'll have to see what part these cards have to play. Meanwhile, we have websites to play with, and they're much more fun.
