Amazon Selling PSN Products

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) and Amazon.com today announced a collaboration to sell PSN products via the online retailer. Over 200 PS3 and PSP titles after available at www.amazon.com/playstationnetwork, including Flower, Pain, PixelJunk Eden, Wipeout Pure and Twisted Metal: Head-On.

"We are excited to expand our current library of video game platform downloads,” said Paul Ryder, vice president of consumer electronics for Amazon.com. “PlayStation Network games are an important addition and we plan to continue making it easier for customers to instantly enjoy new content as well as their favorite games from the comfort of their living rooms.”

Those who purchase the PS3 or PSP games on Amazon.com will receive a digital access code for downloading content on PS3 or PSP systems with their U.S. PlayStation Network accounts. The codes can be given immediately after purchase or e-mailed as a gift. The code remains in a user's Your Games & Software Library for retrieval at any time.

"With more than 600 million pieces of content downloaded to date, consumers are turning to PlayStation Network more than ever for digitally distributed entertainment content,” said Peter Dille, senior vice president of Marketing and PlayStation Network.  “We are excited to team with Amazon.com to expand our reach with Amazon’s market leading ability to target current and future PlayStation consumers.”

It's almost odd to think of purchasing an online good from another online store, but this just goes to show the reach that Amazon has.
