Amazon now selling WiiWare titles, starts with World of Goo photo

Amazon has finally gotten into the WiiWare-game today, adding World of Goo to its collection of purchasable digital software for consoles. 

Well, it's not actually World of Goo that you're buying. You're buying a code that will allow you to download World of Goo, and yes, I'm just being nit-picky. The title is the first WiiWare game to appear on Amazon.com, joining a slew of already available Xbox LIVE Arcade titles. Apparently, people who also bought World of Goo purchased UNO for XBLA. Good choices.

Like the ability to spit in the face  of Microsoft's moon-money MS Points, it's nice to have the option to purchase WiiWare games with "cash." Instead of, you know, buying a card which contains code which you'd redeem on your console for points and then redeem those points to purchase a game.

Wow, that does seem kind of silly, doesn't it?

Nice, this brings Amazon one step closer to selling children, then they will truly be the greatest e-commerce site in the history of ever.

If this sees mass exposure in the UK market I'd certainly use it, I'm fed up of having left over Wii points that I can't use!

Do you have some sort of Reverse ATM for your computer for Amazon to take cash?!

Whenever i need WiiWare points i just buy them right from the WiiWare page on my console. i dont get why people buy the pointcards... unless you didnt have a Credit/debit card. in which case you cant buy it from amazon either.

@Silverx2,

I think the point is you can buy a 1200 point game for the exact amount, you don't need to buy 2000 points off the Wii direct and have those left over points go wasted.

It seems silly, agreed, but I can see the use if you want to nab an XBLA game and you don't have XBL.

Like me. :[

Downloading a code? Is this supposed to be some sort of copyright protection against piracy or something?

The biggest benefit to this is when Amazon has these games on sale. Nintendo is never going to lower the prices on their WiiWare titles and it was nice to get Pac Man CE for $5 last week.

I'll be keeping an eye out on these
