Extending your purchasing options

Amazon US opens up PlayStation Store downloads with code purchase

Finding games on online stores - the discovery process - is something everyone seems to moan about.

The PlayStation Store isn't the worst offender - be ashamed DSi Shop - but the only option to buy games to date have been directly on your PSP or PS3, or the PC-only Media Go client.

Now however Amazon US has opened up its PlayStation Network area which sells you game codes that you then enter into the PlayStation Store to access and download your purchased content.

One nice addition is that you can email the codes and hence use them as gifts, and of course, it provides another discovery channel.

Let's just hope other Amazon country stores will follow suit.

At present, the Amazon US service is only available to customers located in the United States and who have a US billing address
