Amazonhas finally gotten into the WiiWare-game today, addingWorld of Gooto its collection of purchasable digital software for consoles.
Well, it’s not actuallyWorld of Goothat you’re buying. You’re buying a code that will allow you to download World of Goo, and yes, I’m just being nit-picky. The title is the first WiiWare game to appear on Amazon.com, joining a slew of already available Xbox LIVE Arcade titles. Apparently, people who also boughtWorld of GoopurchasedUNOfor XBLA. Good choices.
Like the ability to spit in the face of Microsoft’s moon-money MS Points, it’s nice to have the option to purchase WiiWare games with “cash.” Instead of, you know, buying a card which contains code which you’d redeem on your console for points and then redeem those points to purchase a game.
Wow, that does seem kind of silly, doesn’t it?
