Amazon today launched the Amazon Xbox Live Store which allows people to purchase Xbox Live digital games through the online store. Rumors have it that similar [[link]] stores may soon be arriving for Sony and Nintendo.
Customers purchase the games for cash, not Microsoft points, and then receive a download code which they have to enter into their Xbox 360 to download the game. You can also send the code to a friend as a gift.
The service also allows people to purchase subscription cards for Xbox Live and Microsoft Points to use on the Xbox 360 for purchasing games, shows and movies.
We’ve been hearing [[link]] rumblings for months now that a similar service might be coming for Nintendo’s Wii and DSi and perhaps Sony’s Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable.
Reached for comment this morning, Amazon said they “don’t comment on future plans.”
