In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Riley Cooper from Crystal Dynamics praises Sony's Playstation Network as a more viable method of video-game distribution. Eidos previously used Xbox Live to distribute Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Cooper believes that Playstation Network could be a better service for developers looking to bypass the retail.



"I'm very, very interested in digital distribution and the potential it has," said Cooper, speaking during GDC Lyon last month. "PlayStation Network is extremely interesting because it's a more flexible space.

"We made an in-road with Anniversary on 360, and it was a full game essentially, but Microsoft is only slowly increasing requirements and opening up the constraints of Xbox Live. It's been a slow process, whereas PSN hasn't been restricted by size, they've just done Warhawk for example."

Crystal Dynamics is currently working on Tomb Raider: Underworld for Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3 and Games For Windows.
