Q: How does gamesharing work?
A: It's simple. Once you buy a game, that game is tied to your PSN ID. Basically all you do is give someone your account info, and they click "download again." Both players will have the game, but remember, don't delete the account from your PSN, or the downloaded game will be gone!
Q: This whole gamesharing thing sounds sketchy to me. Is it legit?
Sony announced that players who download games from PlayStation's online shop can share them on up to five other PS3 machines.
If a player logs into his PlayStation 3 account on a friend's system, he can download any game he has already purchased. "You can send that content to four other friends for that initial investment," said Tretton. "We want to get the game in as many hands as possible." "It's not about generating profits at each and every interaction with the consumer," he said. "I think that really offsets the argument that says, 'Wow, that's a really pricey system.'"
Q: Feedback should be left for this transaction, right?
Playstation 3 gamesharing. You are opening up your account to trouble here. You know the risks.
Downloadable PS Store content (DLC) is region locked, whether disc or digital download, you need it from the same region as your disc or psn version for it to work.
Q: What are the things you cannot gameshare?
Q: For games that aren't available in the US store, can you can play them on your US account? Trophies, saves, etc aren't effected?
A: Yes. They will be saved under the user profile that you play them in.
Remember to have at least twice as much space available for the download part.

Gamesharing will no longer be the same. Massive changes has been announced on November 4 that will affect the gamesharing community.
1) Content purchased AFTER Armageddon will be limited to 2 system activations.
4) PS+ works in a similar fashion, everything downloaded before the 18th can be downloaded 5x, anything after can only be downloaded twice.
*This can only be done once every 6 months.
Edited by bastiartadi, 08 January 2012 - 07:40 PM.
*It is recommended that the password of the email and the PSN account remain the same. That way, it'll be easier to track down lost passwords.
**It is also recommended that you write down the date of birth you used in the creation of the account. It will make retrieving the password a lot easier.
Put your address to Portland, Oregon (no tax) as for the specific address, Google 'Starbucks Portland' and you'll get it.
3a) Add your CC to the dummy account and purchase the agreed upon game.
3b) Buy a PSN card from your local retailer and redeem it in the newly created account.
Receive all the payment first before buying the game. Though it might slow the process down, it will keep you safe.
Don't even think about forgetting this step.
5) Share the game with your CAG buddies and enjoy the game!
3) To delete your account from the PS3, go to Users on the far left side of the XMB and delete the user your PSN ID is attatched to.
Step 2 frees up one of the 2 (previously 5) possible shares on the PSN account.
Step 3 frees up one of the 16 maximum slots on your PS3.
1) Never change the password for the account, so that the others could sell it when they do not need it anymore.
2) When sending payment (via PayPal I'm assuming), always type in your CAG username in the accompanying message.
3) You can only have a maximum of 16 user accounts in your PS3 and thus, only have a maximum of 15 game share accounts (15 plus your main account = 16). Deleting a user account will free up one of the 16 slots available for your PS3.
5) Always keep a text file of your username password so as you not forget them.
1. Go to Account Management > Account Information > Sign-In ID (E-mail Address) > and enter your password.
2. Enter another e-mail or simply delete a letter or number.
3. Go to PlayStation Store and download content.
4. Restore original e-mail for other members of the group.
There are several reasons why a Paypal account can get limited. While the following steps will not lift all reasons for limitations, it will be your best bet to do so.
1) Log-in and check all information that Paypal requires.
2) Submit all the required information all at the same time. You can take your time submitting it but be sure to submit it all at once. The council can immediately decide the fate of your account when you submit a required information. Your best chance is to submit all the documents at the same time so as they have all the facts with them as they convene.
3) Immediately call Paypal. Toll-free number is 1-888-221-1161.
Reason: Letting the council decide your fate is risky. Even if the reason for the limitation is somewhat petty, as long as it breaks the ToS, they will immediately limit your account. A better way to go about this is call Paypal right after you submit all the required documents. The Paypal CSR can lift a limitation but cannot reopen a closed Paypal account. Once the CSR sees that all the required information has been provided, they will most likely lift the limitation on the spot. If they are not so keen, they will asjk questions about the limitation. Be prepared to answer them. If they feel that it is sufficient enough, they will lift your account as well.
You have a much higher chance to have your account lifted if you talk to the CSR simply because you can easily explain yourself.

yeah us dlc does not work on different region games. I got a slot from rams81 for nfs hp and dl'd it fine but i bought all the dlc for disk from the us store, so it wouldn't work. he was super cool and bought it right back. but just a heads up!
Edit - It's an honor to be on a front page that in a few weeks no one will reference and continue to ask questions in which the answers are found above!
anyone doing a infamous festival of blood share?
Down for homefont if a group is available.
Is there a + discount?
Home front is supposedly $40, I believe.
If I were you guys i'd take advantage of this before they fix it.
I'm in for the $34.99 if anyone wants to strike up a share!
looking for a COD BLACK ops share.
Hey guys. This may help you if you Pre Ordered Infamous FOB like I did. The full game unlock didn't show up in my "View Downloads" (only the premium theme appeared)tab in PSN store but the full game shows up in the new releases section and I had to DL it from there.
No price mistake in this game with DLC content. They just messed up the price for the stand alone game which is suppose to only be $30 without DLC.
Edited by King J Gatz, 25 October 2011 - 10:17 PM.
Yeah I just read this too. Who knows when they will update it but for the extra $1 for each share it's worth it to me for all the DLC.
Looking for COD BO slot ASAP, pm please.
Also selling a Mass Effect 2 + All DLC except for the Arrival DLC for $8.
Looking to buy Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition and Call of Duty: Black Ops.
LOL, 18 GB for Black Ops (36 free)! Good luck with that everyone.
I was thinking of joining Black Ops group but I only have a 40 GB HDD PS3.
I just want Multiplayer & Zombies, I wish they could separate them.
