The Wii has a "gift system". Do the PS3 and 360 have one as well?

When you go to the Wii Shop Channel, you can purchase a game and send it as a "gift" to one of your friends. Can you do something similar with the other consoles?

The only similarity I can think of is game sharing on the PS3.

No but I can just get on my friends account and buy it for him. Or I can download it on mine and give him my email and password and we can both play the game together

yeah, I buy the retail disc, drive to the recipient, and hand the gift over. easy peasy.shaggygrosser

And you would get to actually see the person, maybe get a handshake and a verbal "Thank you"

Doing over the system would only warrant you a txt written "cool thnx :P"

No you can't. IMO the PS3 does it better, buy whatever you want so that it's yours and then go to your friend's house, sign on using your details and download it again.reyad-u

The PC does, guess just one more feature consoles copied and stole.

Wii Gift System is niffty.

It's like giving your friend or family member a game in real life.

Imagine you're away from home but both you and your family have a Wii and one day you get the Blue Light on your Wii and you check and it's a gift from a Family Member and the game is a VC game or a WiiWare game.

That's the point of the Gift System.

Yes I can hand him an Xbox live points card and he can buy the game he wants. Not the one I think he wants!

I love how something as simple as a gift system gets all these fanboys riled up.

There's a statement that kind of embodies the Wiia s a whole: "its just not very good".

I agree. I never, EVER want to see my nan play Wii Fit again.

Yeah, but my friend moved across the country... so it's not that easy, depending on the situation.

What if you want to buy a downloadable game for like $5 and don't want to buy them an entire game for $50-60? Then you kind of can't do it.

Also, Steam has this feature too.

I have a PS3, and I have no idea.

I don't use it enough to know.
