It's good to see this. For a while, digital versions of Xbox games weren't available on Amazon while they were available for PS4.

Really? I do kind of remember sometimes looking for game codes on there and not being able to find them. Didn't occur to me that it was coordinated/intentional on that level.

There's so much in this sale that it's kind of hard to parse.

It was easy to see. You'd switch to playstation and the digital code would be an option that wasn't there for Xbox. There may not have been much intent involved. The Xbox folks may have just taken a while getting their digital distribution ducks in a row. There were probably different implementation hurdles based on how each company set things up. Like how to this day you can't change your PSN gamertag but you've always been able to on the Xbox.
