Amazon launches digital download service



Amazon has just launched a new digital download service, allowing us gamer's to instantly download the games they buy from the website.

This new service has its own section known as the Amazon Digital Games section its said to currently feature over 600 titles with more to be added regularly. The Downloads it seems come in different forms depending on the title - some are straight downloads whereas others are Steam product codes. all of which could lead to some cool saving for us.

Xbox 360 owners can now also buy Xbox Live Gold memberships and XBL Microsoft Points cards from Amazon and receive the redemption codes instantly, rather than waiting for cards to arrive in the post. from the articles we read there was no mention of the same ability for playstation plus and playstation wallet money so we are unsure as to whether its available or not

There is also A new free-to-play section to go with this digital service and has a number of free games to download, along with options to buy DLC for them. as well as having games available, Amazon now also has a digital software section, where PC software from the likes of Microsoft, Adobe, Serif and Rosetta Stone is available for purchase and download.

All purchases are stored in customers' digital library in their Amazon account, so they can re-download any games they've already purchased or recover product keys. which is always a good thing.
