Digital downloads now for sale at GameStop
« on: January 22, 2011, 11:15:52 AM »
There's no stopping the outburst of digital downloads as an alternative means of purchasing games and other content. That's why retailers are making the smart move and joining this bandwagon. GameStop, for one, has already made the move, officially offering digital downloads for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP.

 This has actually been cooking for quite some time now in the kitchens of GameStop - they just didn't go full throttle with it until now. With it going official and live today, however, video game fans can now have the option of making your purchases through your browsers, even without switching on your consoles.

For its debut run, the GameStop digital downloads section has about 70 Xbox 360 titles  and 50 for the PS3. Of course, this is just their kickoff number, so expect this to expand in the coming months. Now, for you to go make that purchase happen, you just need a code to enter into your consoles. Check out the steps below:





That's literally making shopping happen right on your fingertips. Go enjoy!

wait, just to clear this up, do you actually have to go in to the store itself and buy the game? or will there be a way to buy and download them through the consoles themselves?

i know. thats why i was wondering if they were improving on the current system, or just trying to throw in features that don't really benefit anyone in order to attract attention to their store. seems more likely that there will be a console sided app (similar to the current system of buying full games for microsoft points) that allows you to purchase the title, since i can't see many people walking into a store to buy an activation code, then going home and waiting to download the game itself.

edit: thinking back on it, it sounds stupid of me to even suggest that you will need to visit the store to pick up an activation code. ignore everything i've ever said.

but you actually can walk into a store and buy DLC codes and XBLA games.  at my store we have a small section with most of the recent XBLA games as well as dlc for the hot titles.
