The onus is on us PS3 owners to reward good developers duely. Money saved by sharing PSN games may be re-channeled to renting video and buying full games. The Playstation Network is a new service. In some cases, the wary consumers may not buy any PSN games in the first place. Encouraging people to browse the PS Store and spend comfortably may be important initially.
Moving forward, Sony will have to evolve and optimize their pricing strategy. Personally, I am more curious to see how their free MMO game plan will turn out.
I don't like Gamesharing, simply because it's an exploitation of DRM, not necessarily a feature. I do share with a friend, but he purchases games that he enjoys, and everything else is essentially a demo to him he has a 20GB PS3. He's one of those strange "no demo no buy" folks.

If that is in fact the case then it is incredibly stupid in the way they have enabled it. If they wanted you sharing content to 4 friends why not add the ability to 'gift' people on your friends list content by adding an option into the XMB messaging system, you could then actually advertise the ability as a positive feature for your console! If they wanted you to do this why on earth would they force you to hand out you account details and make it such a hassle?
Gifting is a different mechanism. You can do that via the PSN pre-paid cards. The main purpose of "game sharing" is probably to serve multi-console owners. Account sharing is not a problem here. However, it helps to curb unrestricted use of game sharing. If game sharing is an official and easy to use process with no strings attached, then everyone will do it.
Their revenue will be affected immediately. Not Helpful 3 Helpful 6. What can I do if I am trying to download a game from a friend's account, but I keep getting a message that two PS3 systems have downloaded it?
Tell your friend to deactivate his account. After you download the game, you activate your account and your friend can reactivate his. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 4. Not Helpful 3 Helpful 2. You can try to repeat the steps and see if it works better the second time around. Not Helpful 5 Helpful 2. Does something have to be downloaded to be game shared? Disks cannot be game shared, as they do not appear on the download list.

Make sure that your friend does not activate his account as primary on his PS4 while the games are being downloaded on your console. After the download is finished you can revert to your own account as primary and continue playing the games.
Some other stuff too. In order to set up gameshare on the PS5, you need to dig into the settings and sign into a secondary PlayStation Network account. But what I really need to know is, does each individual game register to whoever downloaded it or is it just limited to whoever I had first activated it with regardless of content downloaded?
HelgenX posted Basically, when you buy a game, it's registered to that account - yours or your friends, whoever was signed in and bought it in the store. Once it's bought, it's in your download history. You need to be signed in to initialize the download process.
Once you start it and hit "download in background," you can swap to whoever else's account you want and it'll keep downloading. Once it's installed, it only works as long as the owner account is registered on that system. For example, if you bought it, and your friend downloaded it under your account to his system, then as long as you don't deactivate his account, you're fine - he can play it, you can play it, and you're all one big happy family. You have unlimited downloads of it - but you can only download it to a PS3 that is registered to your account, which is a max of two at any time.
Unregister a PS3 and register a new one, and you can still download it on that new PS3 - but the old one will be invalid then. More topics from this board Applied new thermal paste, now disc drive doesn't work. Or was it another game?
