Amazon has announced the launch of its Xbox Live store which will allow users to purchase Xbox Live games for cash, cutting out the need to purchase Microsoft Points cards.
There are over 100 games available currently, and Amazon is the first retailer to sell XBL games outside of Microsoft. You can however, purchase Microsoft Points cards through the Amazon store, if you are more comfortable with that method.
After making a purchase at the Amazon store, a download code will appear in your Xbox 360's "Your Games & Software Library" where you can use it to download the game.
"With the overwhelming success of our existing Xbox LIVE Marketplace, it is clear that the 17 million active and engaged members of the Xbox LIVE community enjoy digital access to entertainment content," added Xbox Live general manager Christina DeRosa. "Now we're happy to be extending our storefront to Amazon.com, a cutting-edge online retailer who is helping make digital distribution more mainstream."
