Amazon Stops Selling XBLA Games

Posted August 23, 2010 by Kevin Pabst in Industry News, News.

Amazon.com previously sold entire XBL titles, including XBLA and Games On Demand, on their website without users having to juggle Microsoft Points. Recently, Amazon has removed the XBL/GOD section from their site.

It was a nifty feature that let you buy things through Amazon, which spit out a code you’d feed to XBL to download the game. I’d have taken part of Amazon’s store if most everything I buy wasn’t in easy $5 increments. With the exception of avatar stuff, themes, pictures, some DLC, and indie games, most everything is priced in $5 chunks, making Amazon’s system obsolete. I’d miss it if I used it, but I didn’t, so I don’t.

Did you ever use Amazon for XBL stuff? Did you even know it was there? If you could turn back time, would you choose to buy your XBL stuff through Amazon instead of going back and stopping Hitler?

  1. I had no idea that Amazon used to do that so I won’t be missing it.

    Although honestly everything is so easy to get anyways I don’t see this as too major (although that could just be me).
