PSN Share Thread

This thread is/will be for anyone interested in sharing in the splitting of games off of PSN.

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: All right, seems easy enough, but how does this group thing work, and whats the point?

A: Basically, take the original idea, and add a few people into the mix. Each person logs on to the account, adds their credit card info, and buys the game(s) the group has agreed on. This is helpful to us, because prior to contorary belief, Sony limits us to gamesharing with 5 PEOPLE, not 5 shares per game. The whole group thing meets that requirement. Not to mention, having a single account for 5 people where you add and remove your credit card information is a LOT safer than just giving your account information to some random guy.

Q: This whole gamesharing thing sounds sketchy to me. Is it legit?

A: From CheapyD, the man himself:

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.'"

List games you are interested in getting if you could split it with 1 or more people.

My game list (subject to change):

PSOne Classics:
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Wild Arms
Suikoden

PSN Games:
Wipeout HD
Super Stardust HD
Calling all Cars

Game Add-ons:
Valkyria Chronicles DLC
Burnout Paradise DLC
Disgaea 3 DLC

I will look at anything anyone else lists (that isn't on my list) to see if I'd be interested.
