As I had expected to come, third party support for digital distribution content is here. Sony has announced that Amazon.com is now offering much of the same digital content that PSN already does.

I believe this is one very important initial step to the beginning of price competition among digitally distributed content. Discuss!

Edit: As it stands, Nintendo and Microsoft have already joined that bandwagon before Sony. Which only further shows that 3rd party DD is coming indeed. Price wars, FIGHT!

No price wars yet on Microsoft and Nintendo. We need more retailers jumping on this bandwagon.
