Amazon.com today launched a new PlayStation Network store, allowing users to purchase downloadable PlayStation 3 and PSP content through the online retailer.

Offerings include full games and add-on content. However, not all of the items sold through the online PlayStation Store are available here, such as Rock Band tracks.

As with the section dedicated to downloadable Xbox 360 games, buyers will receive a download code via e-mail that can then be redeemed in the console's marketplace. That code is also stored on Amazon.com "so [customers] can retrieve it at any time."

This would be great if you could download the content through Amazon. I have CFW on my PSP and therefore do not have access to the PSN Store.

In regards to the Xbox live store, I can buy marketplace games, movies, tv shows, etc using xbox.com and it'll automatically be added to my 360's queue when I fire it up. Much easier than amazon.com

I'd only use amazon.com for XBL purchases if they were offered at a discounted price.

Well, this is more than likely because the Playstation store hates money. So the fields are there to trick you and your info and/or credit card will never be accepted. At least that's how it is for me. So I gave up so this is actually a good thing if I ever want to purchase something again, in which thanks to the store I changed my mind about purchasing at all.
