Play.com, one of the UK's largest online games retailers, is planning to launch a game download service.

 

No PC platform mentioned yet. I assume they are going to avoid that so they don't go into direct competition with Valve?

Oh well, let's see if it will fly or fail.

 

brilliant, let's home the digi distro prices undercut the box items! You can already get box items on Play.com for cheaper than the digi distro versions on Steam...

 

So you can either log in to PSN and buy and download the game directly, or you can buy a download code from Play, print off the mail with the code in it, log in to PSN, type in the code correctly, then download the game.

There's little chance the Play version will be cheaper - I doubt Sony would allow it.

I know which one I'll (carry on) using.

 

... not another one!

 

this sounds crap got excited thinking some competition for valve, so far no one I've noticed has come close
