Amazon.com now supports the PSN
The PlayStation Store will no longer be the only place where you can buy the latest games from the PlayStation Network. Sony has announced today that Amazon.com will support the PS3 and PSP for digital content.
What does this mean for gamers?
Being able to get a digital code of a game from Amazon will allow users to purchase the game as a gift for someone. No longer would you have to get them voucher from a local electronics store.
Why get someone a PSN card when you can just directly send them the content that they wanted?
Amazon.com shoppers will know that there are frequent deals given and they have applied to digital downloads for other services in the past. This could possibly allow users to get PSN games and content for a cheaper price, even at launch. Cheaper is always better right? You wouldn’t even have to wait for shipping. That is service right there!
Not only should this increase the ability for users to buy content for the PS3, but PSPgo owners should definitely breathe a sigh of relief knowing that games could end up being on sale. Have you been hoping that the PSN will price drop a specific game? Now you can put that hope onto Amazon as well! Yay for options!
What do you think? Will you purchase games and content for the PSN through Amazon?
I have an amazon uk account and have purchased stuff from the US site. I wonder if purchase codes are region sensitive - not that I would buy psn content from amazon. I'm asking for other UK people here who might be thinking the same thing.

LikeCool!
hang on. Does this mean we'll have to shop around for the best price on a downloadable PS3 game or add-on / map / bundle etc? aw heck!
Think I'll just stick with the shop and, if need be pay the extra just to avoid the dumb time wasting hassle of switching between pc and PS3. I've got better things to do with my life than play scrooge.
Or If I'm uncertain then stuff the lot of 'em, there's other things I'd rather do!
