Gaming Is it possible to gift PSN games?

[Pedeadstrian]

So, here's the deal. I'm getting a Vita when the new model comes out. But at the moment, they're having a Golden Week sale. If you didn't know, Golden Week is basically a week of national holidays for Japan, so they have a bunch of games on sale, some of which I really want, particularly P4G. I'll go ahead and give the list for the reason why:

$15 off? Yes please. Anywhoo, I was wondering if it was possible for someone to buy it for another person. That way I could have it at the discounted price as soon as I get my console. Actually, another question, would it be possible to buy it through a computer instead of using a PSVita to buy it? That way I could skip the middleman altogether.

Maybe you could ask somebody to make an account with your info, buy the games there and then give you the account details. I don't see any other practical way on the vita.

you cannot gift games to people

Yup, buying games on PC is possible through the SEN page and you can make a PSN account without the console on the same site too.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Now I just need to google those games' size so I can to decide whether it's worth it or not... damn proprietary memory cards...

Well, it looks like the new model comes with 8GB. That'll hold Danganronpa and P4G, so I'm set, yay.

You're not forced to download the games so you can play one,beat it and download the other one later.

Yeah, that's what I plan on doing. I'm mostly a PC gamer, so I'm used to being able to hold 100 games on my computer, 99 of which I haven't even started yet.

Well a 8 GB card would be fine but if you wanna have all of the games then ur gonna need a 16 or 32 GB.
