“The Mac Download Store is a one-stop shop where customers can get the most popular games and software products for Mac from Call of Duty to Microsoft Office,” an Amazon PR rep told Macworld. The Internet retailer is also offering a $5-off coupon to celebrate the “launch” of its Mac download store.
While Amazon has been selling downloadable Mac software for some time, grouping those together into a single section is new. Amazon on Thursday quietly unveiled its Mac Software Downloads, a selection of around 250 Mac applications and games that you can purchase and install without ever having to open a box. Attention: The Mac App Store isn’t the only game in town.
