After recently opening their store for the Playstation Network, Amazon decided to discount Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty by 33%.

Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus is an epilogue to the Future saga, which begins Ratchet's quest of finding the truth about the Lombaxes disappearance. But before that, Ratchet must combat a series of personal dilemmas - he must recover two criminal escapees whom stranded him at the edge of the galaxy and has single-handedly caused an inter-dimensional event that threatened the very fabric of the universe. Whether it is to seek revenge or find empathy and help save those that wronged him, Ratchet must choose what is really important to him. And while he decides that, he has a new arsenal and advanced weapon upgrading at his disposal to maximize the hurt on his enemies.
BT writes: It is interesting to note that while other popular PS2 era developers moved on from the creations that made them famous when making the jump to the PS3, Insomniac Games kept the Ratchet & Clank series going strong. I will not try to speculate on why this ended up being the case (although it should be noted that Insomniac has hardly only restricted themselves to R&C during the PS3 era) and instead will simply offer a hardy sigh of relief that this is the way things worked out. I say this because while the R&C series was not as prolific on the PS3 as it was on the PS2–producing only two full R&C titles compared the latter’s three (four if you count Deadlocked)–it nevertheless kept the series well-earned reputation going with aplomb.
Stop the presses.
(Boy, am I surly today)
I had no idea Amazon sold games like this, it is a brilliant idea, I really have no major issues with a downloadable gaming future if there are other stores also selling games in this way, especially in the UK.
Competition is key and if there are other retailers able to sell games like this it will help keep prices respectable while the network stores are merely a distribution platform.
Maybe the future of the PSN store is to select a game and then see a list of retailers and the prices they charge.
Good news, good idea.
Isn't that the normal price on the store?
Quest for Booty is bootilicious.
i think amazon knows that the psn is going to drop the price this weeks update and they went and dropped the price a couple of days before it happens
