New download service from US retailer A new Amazon Xbox 360 'store' has launched in the United States, allowing gamers to buy and download full releases for playing directly on their consoles.
Instead of using Microsoft Points, the new Amazon service will use normal money, and you'll be able to deliver new acquisitions directly to your Xbox 360 for playing.
In addition to a range of new games, Amazon will also sell Xbox Live subscriptions and Microsoft points, too.
The Xbox 360 store is live now, while we hear that Amazon are eying further expansion onto the PS3, Wii and even the PSP, too. More as we get it.
