Amazon’s entered the game download space with a casual service, as seen here.

More than 600 titles are available to buy for less than $10 each, and Jewel Quest 2, Build-a-lot and The Scruffs are available for free this week.

As reported by Kotaku, customers are able to download and try any game sold through the service for 30 minutes, after which they can either purchase the full game or forget they ever played it.

There’s been no confirmation on a similar service making its way to Europe as yet.

Sounds Good I got the story here. VG247

I think it's cool that they let u play for 30min before buying the game. There are quite a few games i've bought that were sh*t & of course wasn't allowed to return them.

Hmm. I want to try that free Build-a-lot that they have on there (one of three free games they are giving away), but I get a "We're Sorry" error everytime I try to download it... maybe the server's are overloaded?

I'll be keeping my eye on this, I already use Amazon for MP3 downloads. I also buy books, movies, and games off of them... I have an Amazon Chase card. I love Amazon... now if only they sold groceries...
