Is there a way for someone else to gift me a game by digital download?

It's a round-a-bout way as you'd have to have their details but it is family (not like you'd abuse that information) - but would work.

Hmmm, I dunno if I'd have the courage to ask them for all that info. Maybe just a physical purchase would be the best method. That way I wouldn't need to know any of their CC number. Unless it's my mom doing the asking, hehe.

Status: offline 		Well Plimus ONLY has search for order on email addy and last 5 (4?) characters of the credit card...a pity as there could be so many other ways to look for an order...order number strikes me as one with password ala DR, or email addy and order number

I hope it's one aspect they change - and quickly. Currently I have nop way of seeing my orders on Plimus because I pay by Paypal. Very short sighted of them not to provide Paypal as a search option being as they provide it as a payment option
