Now I know a lot of you hate GameStop, and please don't just jump in here to bash it, but for those that care (like those with the GameStop points card) you can buy the digital version of Vita games off the website (I don't know about in store). Still costs the same but you get points for it.

Are there any other stores selling digital Vita games? I know there were rumors that Best Buy was going to do so. I figure I prefer to buy my games through a store with a loyalty program and get a little kickback out of it.

Kinda defeats the purpose of convenience, but hey, whatever they need to stay relevant, I suppose.

....That's like ordering a delivery pizza, then going to Pizza Hut and picking it up anyway.

Well they are introducing themselves as a middle man so to speak, and for a little extra effort you'll get your game and some points with them. Seems fair enough, though a bit dodgy. Didn't think Sony would be cool with it.

Why wouldn't they? Gamestop sells DLC and PSN time(without a physical card).

More options are never a bad thing. If the price is the same then its A-O-K with me. Good for those consumers without a thumb up there arses that may have store credit or a points card/gift card.

They've been doing this for a long time for XBLA games and PSN games.

Since it was because of Best Buy that we learned digital games will be cheaper I can only assume they will do the same.

And I was aware that GameStop sells PSN / XBLA titles but this is the digital version to a full retail game that they also carry. For a company that never reordered any more Warhawk copies after the initial launch because it hit PSN the previous day this seems out of character.

Well, I suppose it'll be better to give as presents.

I guess if your that still dont want to give sony your credit card it's understandable.

Oh, online? That makes far more sense than what most of us expected.

Nope, like BestBuy, Gamestop will never get another dollar from me again.
