Sony PlayStation 4 owners living in the UK might be pleased to learn that Amazon has today opened the doors on its new Digital PlayStation Store. The launch of the new Digital PlayStation Store on the Amazon UK website, follows on from the recent launch of the US version of the site last month.
The new Digital PlayStation Store now allows UK residents to purchase PlayStation Store top-up cards and codes to renew PlayStation Plus subscriptions, directly from the Amazon website.
Gaming website Eurogamer has compared a few prices: “So how do the prices compare? Amazon is currently matching Sony’s own prices to the penny – PSN games like Tokyo Jungle and The Unfinished Swan are £9.99 from both locations, while Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is £11.99 and Hotline Miami is £6.49.”
Unfortunately it doesn’t look as though Amazon have laid on any special promotions for the launch of a new Digital PlayStation Store within the UK. Unlike when the store launched in the US and offered a number of promotions to compete with Sony’s own PlayStation store.

To re-cap the Sony PlayStation 4 console will be equipped with 8-cores of AMD Jaguar processing power supported by 8GB of GDDR5 RAM together with a next generation AMD Radeon graphics card to process your games graphics.
Other features of the next generation PlayStation 4 console include a 500GB storage drive, together with 2 x USB 3.0 ports, and 1 x AUX port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and HDMI port. The PlayStation 4 specs for the camera include a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800 together with (x2) pixel capture at 60fps. In the box the PlayStation 4 system will include 1 x Wireless controller (DualShock 4), 1 x Mono headset, 1 x AC power cord, 1 x HDMI cable and 1 x USB cable.
The new next generation PlayStation 4 console launched on November 15th 2013 in the US and slightly later throughout Europe on November 29th 2013. The Sony PlayStation 4 console is priced at $399, €399, and £349 depending on your location.
