Amazon Playstation Network Store

[MCD]

You read that headline right. We're very excited to introduce the Amazon Playstation Network Store, an alternate venue to purchase digital Playstation content for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and Playstation Vita.

 The downside of going all digital for the next-gen consoles was going to be restricting yourself to only one storefront for potential deals, but now that's not an issue. Sony already leaves its competitors in the dust when it comes to sales, especially with its Playstation Plus program, and adding Amazon's deal muscle to the mix increases the potential savings exponentially.

To celebrate the launch of the store, Amazon will be offering $5 PSN credit back on select digital purchases, and even better, customers who participate in the limited time buy two get one free promotion starting at noon ET today (Tuesday) will also get a bonus $5 PSN credit.

We'll see how long this experiment lasts. Back in 09 the problem was that they didn't get the newest titles up on the store and had strict pricing guidelines. If they've taken care of those issues going forward I can see this as a highly positive expansion into digital competition between stores.

Anyone remember the Microsoft XBLA store Amazon had running for a while?
