Not to be outdone by Microsoft, Sony announced today that you can now buy PSN content from Amazon. Right now, only around 200 pieces of content are available for purchase. When new content will be added is anyone’s guess, as we were unable to reach Sony for comment at press time.

Just like the Xbox 360 counterpart, your purchase from Amazon will yield a download code that you can enter on your PS3 or PSP to download whatever you want to purchase.

I’m a big fan of this system, especially when you get Amazon gift cards or use Coinstar to get credit with Amazon. Will make it easier than finding PSN cards, as long as content is available on both the PSN and Amazon at the same time. If Sony has a delay in getting content to Amazon from the release date on the PSN, consumers may just skip the program altogether. We’ll have to see as time goes on how well this pans out.
