You read that headline right. We're very excited to introduce the Amazon Playstation Network Store, an alternate venue to purchase digital Playstation content for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and Playstation Vita.

The downside of going all digital for the next-gen consoles was going to be restricting yourself to only one storefront for potential deals, but now that's not an issue. Sony already leaves its competitors in the dust when it comes to sales, especially with its Playstation Plus program, and adding Amazon's deal muscle to the mix increases the potential savings exponentially.

To celebrate the launch of the store, Amazon will be offering $5 PSN credit back on select digital purchases, and even better, customers who participate in the limited time buy two get one free promotion starting at noon ET today (Tuesday) will also get a bonus $5 PSN credit.

Says it's currently only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address.

You could probably get away with it by using a fake US address like people do with purchasing of PSN cards.

And dude, amazon has the craziest digital deals.... Omg

Just look at their PC download sales, it's like a hand full of sales each day.

I might... be going all digital for PS4 if it's like amazon PC digital. Not as big of a price cut because it's console and sony gets money of course but the deals!

Holy fuck, this could be the kick up the Arse needed to bring digital prices down from stupid, and bring it that one step closer to steam.

This is a HUGE deal. Holy cow!

So perfectly timed as well. I'll be buying my Last of Us DLC on Amazon.
I'm never putting my credit card details on PSN.
