Top Ten PlayStation 3 Gifts Guide: Holiday 2010 Edition

The PlayStation Network gift card is an excellent gift for any PS3 owner. It comes in multiple denominations (and unlike the Wii or Xbox 360, PSN uses dollars instead of confusing "points"), and can be used to buy downloadable games, such as "Fat Princess," "Sonic the Hedgehog: 4," "DeathSpank," "Battlefield 1943," "Braid," "Peggle," "Diner Dash," "Pixel Junk Shooter," and PSOne classics like "Final Fantasy VII." It can also be used to buy or rent movies, digital comics, and a variety of other digital media sold via the PlayStation store.

Downloadable games are a fun a popular option because you not only never have to worry about the game not being in stock at your local game retailer, and you never have to fret over ruining or losing the disc, but you also get a lot of great content for relatively little money. Whereas a retail game will usually cost around $59 for a new PS3 title, downloadable games vary in price with $4.99, $9.99, and $14.99 being common price tags.

Whether you want to see the gamer on your list get the most bang for your buck, or you want to give a gift that comes in lower than the retail cost of a game, PlayStation Network gift cards are always appreciated and are easy to put to good use.
