I'm amazed that gifting games has taken so dang long to come to consoles. It's basically free money for the publisher, since it means less on-the-fence people!
I really hope this comes over to PS4. Just this week I was hoping to be able to do this somehow (The Last of Us is only $10!), but the only way you can do it is by buying $10 PSN cards and giving someone the code, which is less than ideal.
And that regifting setup is great.
If anyone wants to gift me Destiny 2, I could see myself hopping on Xbox again. ;)

Same here. I'm sure there were technical obstacles to overcome, but it's like there's been a big pile of money on the table and they've ignored it.

It's extra weird that PSN not only has a Wishlist feature, but you can look at your friends' Wishlists, and there's even a "buy" option on their list... But you can only buy the games for yourself.
Yeah, there might have been technical issues, but it's not exactly something that folks have only recently started asking for, so I really wonder what took them so long (though I'm glad to see them get it totally right the first time).
