Maybe paving the way for a "Gift Friend" feature?...

That feature needs to be added pronto. It would be HUGE around the holidays.

 

[kikonawa]

gifting (selling) your own game(s) would be super.
that would make me buy from PSN and not buy bluray discs

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Maybe paving the way for a "Gift Friend" feature?...

It's useless without this.

 

[joeblow]

megaton for me, I'm always forgetting about smaller games.

Same here! I've wanted a wish list to store titles I want when the price drops for over a year.

 

[FranXico]

This is a good feature. Maybe at least some of the emails I get from PSN will now be useful.

 

[Kyoufu]

They'd make so much money from Gift transactions alone.

But I imagine one issue they'd run into with Gifting is incompatibility between different region stores.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Gifting feature is not for that. You won't be able to buy games, play them and if you don't want them anymore, gift them.

 

[dracula_x]

Maybe paving the way for a "Gift Friend" feature?...

Probably, because:

 

[Megawarrior]

Please add gifting so I can stop giving my friends psn cards.

This will never happen.

 

[kikonawa]

yeah.. wishfull thinking

i dont think we need to look into this really too deep .Its probably just that.. a wishlist so your friends can see and share their whishlist

 

[Piccoro]

Probably, because:

I don't see that tab on the webstore. Is that on PS4's own store?

 

[StillEdge]

Let me know when I can start buying all my camgirls some gifts.

 

[Delusibeta]

Honestly? Wishlists has become a very common reason cited for indie game sales during Steam's sales, so I wouldn't be surprised if developers has been asking Sony for this. With that said, considering that you can also look at friend's wishlists, this does also look like phase one of a "gift to friends" feature.

 

[etta]

Holy shit, nice! One more to add to the list.
Can this be done via the PS4 as well?

 

[TheSlySoul]

That seems neat. I will have to set that up for holidays.

 

[minameissteve]

It only took 9 years. Now I can finally organize my list of anticipated games.

 

[Guevara]

I wish they have more upcoming games.

I'd love to put the Bloodborne DLC and The Witness on my wishlist but they aren't in the store, even as placeholders, yet.

 

[YianGaruga]

The little heart on the German store leads to "undefined"

https://store.playstation.com/#!/de-de/undefined

what's the link supposed to look like?

 

[DooMAGE]

It's funny that you can do this eons ago on WiiU Eshop

 

[dracula_x]

I don't see that tab on the webstore. Is that on PS4's own store?

on the web (in UK, at least)

 

[Neuromancer]

i would wonder what the point of this is (aside from market research.) maybe they will implement a way to gift games to friends over PSN? that would be exciting!

Well Steam sends you an email if a game on your wishlist is on sale. Hopefully the PS Store will do the same as it's a great feature.

edit: beaten like the WiiU beat the PS4 eons ago

 

[Cmagus]

I personally like having a wishlist feature, I find it's a great way to keep track of games I eventually want to pick up and it's a good way for me to check if games are on sale. I use the wishlist feature on steam a lot for those very reasons it's nice to not have to search for everything and bring them up in a nice easy list. That is providing Sony does it this way.

 

[The Omega Man]

These feature only makes sense if the gift to a friend feature also exists

 

[Xav]

*Adds Life is Strange to wishlist*

*Checks on a regular bases for a price drop*

 

[FranXico]

These feature only makes sense if the gift to a friend feature also exists

Well, it already is useful just to know when certain games go on sale. Steam emails you when your games in a wishlist go on sale, easy to imagine PSN doing the same.

 

[Jotamide]

Fucking
Finally

It only took almost a decade!

 

[autoduelist]

I'm not seeing this in the US webstore yet, sadly.

These feature only makes sense if the gift to a friend feature also exists

While I would like both, a wishlist is far more important to me than gifting.

Don't think of wishlist as 'things i want people to buy me or I can buy other people', but 'things i hope go on sale someday'.

 

[kng3025]

Hopefully this is an indication of more features to come. Psn seems really late to the party in this regard..

 

[Tampler]

Had to log out and log back in for it to work in Ireland.

 

[FranXico]

Holy shit, nice! One more to add to the list.
Can this be done via the PS4 as well?

Not yet. They'll probably update the PS4 store interface last, I speculate.

I hope Sony don't put too much emphasis on this kind of features in their presser. This is welcome, but is nothing more than catching up to everyone else, to be honest.

 

[Withnail]

Not necessarily a sign gifting is coming. Google Play Store has had wishlists without gifting for years.

 

[Guymelef]

The little heart on the German store leads to "undefined"

https://store.playstation.com/#!/de-de/undefined

what's the link supposed to look like?

Same for Spain.

 

[Nesther]

Webstore only?

 

[DasRaven]

Finally! I had to use a spreadsheet before to keep track of all the games I wanted to buy.

Same here, one less spreadsheet to track is always welcome. Works in the app also.

 

[Elandyll]

That's cool.

In use it on Steam to keep track of games that are too pricey for me. I hope it'll come with both a gifting option and a price tracking option to alert you when prices go down on particular games.

Would be nice if it'll also be tied in some ways to a form of Early Access (to keep track of games in Alpha/ Beta and when they have an official public release).

 

[outunderthestars]

Maybe paving the way for a "Gift Friend" feature?...

Really want this feature.

 

[JBourne]

FINALLY. I've wanted this for so long.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Add gifting and email alerts when stuff in the wish list goes on sale like steam does and I'll be happy

This.

 

[Brandon F]

Fucking
Finally

.

 

[FranXico]

I hope it'll come with both a gifting option and a price tracking option to alert you when prices go down on particular games.

Most likely, you will receive emails whenever games in your wishlist drop price, without any option to turn that off.

 

[redcrayon]

Cool. I like wish lists, I already use them on Nintendo's eshop and the kindle store to keep an eye on stuff I'm interested in but happy to wait for a sale on or until I've finished with the items I have.

They are a great feature, useful for customers and the sellers alike.

 

[Nightbird]

megaton for me, I'm always forgetting about smaller games.

This so much.

I always missed this feature, but now I can finally keep track of the games I want!

 

[etta]

I dunno, man. For me it's important because there's more games that I want than I can buy at the moment, so when I see them on the Store, if I don't add them to a wishlist, I might forget about them (especially smaller titles) later on when I am overwhelmed with new releases.

 

[Pillville]

The heart button works for me here in USA

I wasn't referring to the usefulness of the wishlist feature itself. I totally agree with you on that and was waiting for it myself.

I was referring to SCE doing grand announcements about these PSN related things at the PGW press conference. In my opinion, they shouldn't overdo it, because they're basically catching up to all other networks out there.

 

[JoRo]

Does Xbox have wishlists or gifting? I don't remember seeing any on 360.

 

[doctorblurg]

Awesome! I like wishlists a lot they help me keep my future purchases organized. I hope gifting is implemented as well.

 

[BadHand]

I really wish overseas gifting will be available, but it won't.

 

[Beckx]

I can't wait for them to link this up with the incredible recommendation engine they have going.
