Yes there is the hassle of creating accounts with giftsbuffer.com and Amazon.com, but considering that you can continue to maintain your anonymity, seems like a minor inconvenience.

Steam is an excellent service, but does Steam work for console(XBox. PS3) gaming as well?

No it doesn't, and I suspect this question was largely rhetorical. My point stands that my particular experience doesn't care about your product. There are 3 feelings you can get from a product/service: love, hate, indifference, and the last one is the worst because they won't tell you how to make it better.

However, that doesn't mean my comment was entirely worthless. You could go to a console gaming forum, taking the assumption that people on gaming forums gift each other items, and see if they like or hate your product.

seems like a minor inconvenience Perhaps it's not to me, as a potential customer. Don't fall into a trap of making assumptions for your customer base.

Also, how is this different than an Amazon wish list? Someone else mentioned blog posts, and some bloggers have Amazon wish lists available that they can buy things off of.

First of all thank you for your comment. It would really be highly arrogant of me to consider any comment as worthless. At this stage of the service, any comment is something to take a lesson from and try to improve the product.

Secondly, I knew from the beginning that service may not be of much use for gifting PC Games because Steam does a such a superb job of it, but there is always scope if someone wants to gift someone a physical copy of a game, be it for Consoles or PC. Anyways, I am sure that not all PC Gamers have a Steam account.

As for creating a new account to gift someone something, I have taken your comment under consideration and am trying to incorporate Facebook login, so that we can at least try to lessen the effort needed to send someone a gift.

We differ to Amazon Wish List in the sense that with our service a person can choose a gift from among thousands of products Amazon offers, and not be restricted to a few items a person chooses to add to his wish list. Also another difference is that, with GiftsBuffer the person receiving the gift will not know who has sent the gift either. If someone chooses to pay via CC on Amazon, the senders personal details including name and billing address, will be clearly communicated to the recipient, at least that is my understanding.
