Amazon UK has opened a beta PlayStation Network store, allowing customers to purchase digital PlayStation titles directly from the retailer.

The launch follows a similar service in the US earlier in the year.

Customers are able to pick from a variety of PSN titles or PSN credit which can then be redeemed on PlayStation Network, and could be a good alternative to those concerned with entering their credit card details on Sony's service.

However, don't expect to see too many bargains: the prices currently appear to be largely identical to buying directly from PlayStation Store.

Will be interesting once the service gets into full swing, its a great idea to let Amazon open a rival store, as it will drive prices of digital games down in its later life.
