Buying for gamers over the holidays can be easy, or extremely hard. The player who has kept up with every best selling title over the past year often has very different demands than the type that prefers to take their time on their favorite titles, and beyond that, many gamers have a preferred platform to play on, so getting it right for the unengaged might be rough. With that in mind, we’re putting together gift guides crafted for players of all walks on life, sorted by platform. Since the annual Playstation Experience is taking place this weekend, here are a few things to look at for the Sony fan who can’t get enough.
