Amazon.com launched a store for Xbox LIVE. Through the Xbox LIVE store on Amazon.com, consumers will be able to buy Xbox LIVE Arcade games, subscription cards, and Microsoft points directly from the website. Whoever buys the goods from Amazon.com will receive a key code that can be redeemed by the console owner. Giving Xbox LIVE Arcade games as gifts to others was not previously available before Amazon.com opened this storefront. The Xbox LIVE Store on Amazon.com will also have customer reviews and a recommendation system built-in.

To check out the store, visit http://www.amazon.com/xboxlive.
