LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Amazon Pulls Plug on PlayStation Network Offering

Posted on Thursday, October 20 @ 08:49:01 Eastern by


Amazon.com has had its own version of the PlayStation Network's storefront for some time now. But suddenly, without any notice at all, Amazon has removed the PlayStation Network hub from the site, removed all PlayStation Network digital download products, and has even pulled their listings for PlayStation Network value cards. Third-party sellers are still offering PSN cards but at ridiculous prices.

While Amazon nor Sony had made any mention of why this has happened, Amazon did confirm to PSNStores, an unofficial PSN blog, that the PSN offering has been removed:

We have no announcements regarding this change in selection; however, we can confirm that Amazon Digital Video Game Downloads is not currently offering Playstation Network Online Game Codes and Points Cards.

It was such a swift move by Amazon that the PSN "node' on the website is still active, but completely blank.

Post your conspiracy theories below.

    Sony is either pushing its own service or just signed an extremely lucrative contract that forbid Amazon sells. Curious.

    Sony wants the credit card numbers all to themselves.

    They either had a hack, or a falling out with Sony. If it was an update they would have said so. Oh, I know Microsoft just bought Amazon and won’t let them sell Sony stuff anymore.

    Dam, I loved buying DLC with my amazon promotion credit and felt a lot more comfortable doing so through Amazon too.

    Probably too much DLC sharing.

    Optimist - It's just a fluke, it'll be back.
    Pessimist - Sony wants all the money from PSN to get directly to them instead of sharing the profit with Amazon.
    Conspiracist - Microsoft bought out Amazon! It's all the government's fault!

    Probably some sort of exclusive deal between Amazon & Microsoft coming out in the not-too-distant future, or the Amazon CEO was just pissed about his PSN account getting hacked.
