PSN cards and digital content mysteriously removed from Amazon

Considering what happened earlier this year, you’d be forgiven if you didn’t trust Sony with your credit card information. Many didn’t, opting instead to make use of sites like Amazon to pick up codes, which they could then redeem for cash money on the PlayStation Store.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to do that anymore. Out of nowhere, Amazon has pulled all PSN cards, including digital content such as DLC or even full games. Amazon confirmed the removal to PSN Stores, but didn’t provide a reason for the sudden removal.

“We have no announcements regarding this change in selection, however we can confirm that Amazon Digital Video Game Downloads is not currently offering Playstation Network Online Game Codes and Points Cards,” they were told.

PSN Stores points out that some of the removed content still exists on the website, but everything is listed as “Currently unavailable”. As of writing, Sony has yet to make an official response to the removal of digital PSN content on Amazon.

This doesn’t mean that they’re gone for good, but until Sony or Amazon comes out and explains the situation, you’ll have to look elsewhere, pick up a PSN card at your local store or, you know, hand over your credit card information to Sony. Surely they won’t get hacked again.
