Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) and Amazon have teamed up and announced that digital access codes for over 200 PlayStation Network games and game-related content for the PS3 and PSP systems, are now available from the Amazon Video Game Store. This collaboration will allow consumers to purchase digital access codes which they can use to download content via the PSN.
“We are excited to expand our current library of video game platform downloads,” exclaimed Paul Ryder, vice president of consumer electronics for Amazon. “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.”
“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,” Peter Dille, senior vice president of Marketing and PlayStation Network, commented. “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.”
PlayStation Network games can be digitally accessed via a code redemption system. Now Amazon customers can purchase these codes and use them when they want to purchase a PSN game or game-related content. The code will apparently reside in the customer’s Your Games & Software Library, making it easy to retrieve at any time.
