So today is a friend's birthday but he's a little broke atm so I thought I would gift him Skyrim through Steam. Unfortunately it looks like his rig is not up to snuff (video card), but he does have a PS3. Is it possible to gift someone Skyrim through the Playstation network, or something similar? Or am I stuck having to get it shipped to him? Thanks.

I am not sure, but shipping him a disc would be better anyway IMO

Only way to share a game like skyrim on ps3 is through a physical copy of the game.
