www.amazon.com/playstationnetwork is a real thing. Sony and Amazon have partnered up to bring you PlayStation Network titles away from the PlayStation Store. Over 200 PS3 and PSP titles are available now.
This all works through digital access codes, meaning that customers will be buying these codes on Amazon.com. Amazon customers will get this code immediately after purchase, and it will be stored in that customer's Your Games & Software Library. They will then redeem the code on their PS3 or PSP. These codes can also be sent as gifts.
What good is this to you? Well, it makes for way easier browsing of PSN offerings. As an example, here's all the PSOne Classics offerings on one page. There's also a promotion running right now: Buy a PS3 Slim or a PSP and get a free PSN game. Get Trash Panic -- it's awesome.
Will you be using this new Amazon PSN? I think it's way easier to use than the PlayStation Store on the consoles.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE TO OVERPAY JUST TO GET A GAME OR TWO WITH AN ARBITRARY AMOUNT OF POINTS ON A SERVICE.
Hey, the more options, the better.
Anyone knows a way where I don't need to pay 20% more (entropay tax) for PSN games? buying points cards are also more expensive (like 25 USD for an 20 bucks card).
Whhy do you make it so hard for me to give you money, Sony? ACCEPT GODDAMN PAYPAL
This is a great day. Considering I can't use my Maestro debit on PSN, now I cna just buy stuff through Amazon.
YES! YES!
Also, that offer is ridiculous. Spend at least $250 and get a $15 game free? Better make it 3 games.
Also people, don't forget about game sharing.
Also has anyone notice, games bought in the US has taxes and the same games on foreign accounts doesn't?
Can I complain about this with Sony? For god's sake HOW??!?!
