PSN game sharing?

[Steve]

MrDee, perhaps you know about this. I know that you can authorise games on multiple PS3s at once, so in effect you can share downloaded games and content. Is anyone up for sharing some stuff? If you know how it's done, can you break it down for me?

i think you can only share 5 games though...i would share some games with you..but the games that i have downloaded are mainly for my kiddies..lol..i dont think you would want to play some girly games...lol

gamesharing on ps3,

1. you buy a game off psn using your ps3 and your account

2. you make a new user account on your mates ps3 and choose 'use existing acct' and put the log and pass of your acct in

3. go to the store while logged in on your mates machine and click downloads top right. a list of your downloads pops

up and you can download each game 4 more times (used 1 of your 5 d/ls with your machine) to your acct regardless

of whos machine its on. click game, choose ' download in background ', log out and sign back in on your mates usual account

and the game will download to his machine. the catch is you have to leave your user acct on your mates machine permanently, he doesn't

have to log in as you to play the game but your user acct must stay on his machine. he does the same for you and you get 2 for 1

its best to leave at least 1 of your 5 downloads as a spare incase you need to d/l it again yourself.

dont forget you are giving the details of your acct to someone else so do the usual safeguards. untick 'remember password' while logging

in on your mates machine. delete credit card details on your ps3 after each purchase, change your password on your ps3 after each share.

gamesharing with real mates you can trust with your account is the best way ( and the legal way) you can access your games and play them

at a mates house is the sony vision for gamesharing.
