So it seems that Amazon.com is now selling XBLA games. “How and why are they doing this?” you may be asking yourself.

Apparently they’re selling download codes. You buy them, then input them in in the proper field on the dashboard and there you go.

“Why should I care? Why not just use my points?” you may also be asking yourself. Now slap yourself in the face and yell “Lamont, you big dummy!” in a Red Fox voice. Here’s why. First off you can tell how much shit is. Sure 400 points is 5 bucks, but at 3 a.m. when I’m drunk and downloading new games (pretty much the main time I do this ritual) I can’t be bothered to remember that crap. Secondly, they discount titles that don’t seem to be discounted on XBL. Take a look at Pac Man CE. DISCOUNT. And thirdly, if you have Amazon credit, you can use it to purchase XBLA titles now.

See, I gave you three reasons as to why it’s a good thing. Now go gift me some amazon.com XBLA titles.

Oh, shit. That’s four good reasons.
