Getting started, it is highly reccomended to find a Group

Post in this thread saying what you would like to purchase. Whether you want to get 5 people to buy a single game or map pack, or the entire PSN collection.

If your gamesharing group is meant for multiple transactions, one of your members should look into making a social group here on CAG.

To do this, go to the social group page, scroll down to the bottom, and click create group. Name it something like "CAG Gameshare Group __", and make it invite only. Then after you've done that, scroll to the bottom to invite your friends. This solve our communication problems between groups

ALSO - You can search this topic for games to see what other people have or want, and try and PM them and get something together.

A CAG Gamesharing FAQ

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:

Approved by Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America
http://www.wired.com/gaming/gamingreviews/news/2006/10/71982

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?

A: No. Per Trading/Feedback rules and guidelines in the trading forum:

Trading on CAG is "at your own risk". However, there are some special cases where feedback is not allowed and engaging in this specific trading activity warrants a special warning. Onto the list :

Playstation 3 gamesharing. You are opening up your account to trouble here. You know the risks.


Not sure what else I should add to this FAQ. Post or PM if you think of anything I should add. Happy sharing!

I'm interested. It doesn't bother me if one or two of the games are ones I already have since it will be very hard to pick 5 games that none of the 5 people have.

there's been 5-7 people that have shown interest. We should get this thing rolling. I'll go ahead and list the games I'm interested in picking up:

* fl0w
* Super StarDust HD
* PAIN
* Everyday Shooter

StrandedBrit

Group 2.

MSN messenger?

I have :-

Piyotama, Super Stardust HD, PixelJunk Monsters, Super Puzzle Fighter, Super Rub A Dub, Everday Shooter, High Velocity Bowling, Toy Home, Calling All Cars.

Not really looking for anything, but wouldn't mind Flow, High Stakes Poker, Locoroco, Pain,

Looking forward to :- Wipeout HD, Echochrome and Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

Snake2715
03-16-2008, 06:58 PM
Yeah i am unsure how it would work, My assumption is this. We each would buy a game and then remove our personal info, log off and let the next person log in and buy a game. Eventually we would all be able to share the games.

I am up for whatever the problem comes again down to how are we going to decide what games are favorable or not.

StrandedBrit
03-16-2008, 07:29 PM
Snake check your pms.

smiggity
03-16-2008, 07:29 PM
Yeah that is how it would work..Unfortunately the only game we can agree on as of now is PAIN...

Also Looking forward to Wipeout HD, !!!!Echochrome!!!! and Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Maybe we should hold off until these arrive??

hone
03-16-2008, 07:49 PM
that might be a good idea, though we could just start with PAIN and see how the rest pan out. Also, I'd still be interested in sharing some of the games that sb still has though that might be better for a diff group? Not sure.

03-16-2008, 08:12 PM

Nearly Impossible..The thing is, if we can only decide on 1 game who buys it? Then we just start a rotation after first purchase? I have no problem buying BC or Wipeout as soon as they launch

Problem is hone, that we can't just share games we already own with the new cag account. It was discussed in the main game sharing thread. Only new games we buy will be shareable.

I say group 2 members just PM me with what you currently want. I'll compile a list and if a game gets 3 or more votes we'll purchase it and figure out a paying rotation.

hone
03-17-2008, 01:03 AM

Figure I'd make another post, even tho no one has responded yet about Rock Band. Here's a good up-to-date thread (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41549) for reference to past/future DLC. Since everyone has their own tastes it may be hard to always agree on things. Personally, I'm more interested to the heavier tracks. This Thursday's Thrash Pack is something I'm strongly considering. A few of the past artists I would consider: STP, Skynyrd, QOTSA, Rush, Oasis, and Iron Maiden.

I'd be willing to take Snake's place in Group 2 as well, since I'm used to seeing StrandedBrit and Hone on Warhawk nights. I currently don't have any psn games, and would be open to some.

Also, a suggestion I'm going to make is that you have everyone pitch in $5 at the start, since they use the "wallet" system. Now you have a starting pool of $25 for your group, and can decide weekly if you want to spend any of your budget. Then, when you get close to $0, or there's an expensive game out, everyone just puts in another $5 all at the same time. It's the easiest/fairest way I could think of.

smiggity
03-17-2008, 05:22 PM
Sounds better than 1 game at a time..Plus this way we could get GT5 Prologue (If you can share this) and/or echochrome. I think echochrome will be like $20 also. That gets my vote...

Since this is a psn thread, here's (http://kotaku.com/368857/rumored-playstation-store-release-list-shows-home-ratchet-quest-for-booty-due-in-july) a rumored release calendar for this spring on psn. Could give you an idea of when things will drop and if you'd like to wait or not.

What will probably happen is Europe will get the game in April. After they get it, SCEA will do some translation (change from U.K. English to U.S. English) and do some other things, then release it here. I think the reason for the long delay is because Europe gets 2nd dibs on it (and the approval process for Europe takes forever).

Go back to the warhawk thread. Theres various posts from people who've played it. But yeah, it's no way worth $8. An extra map, that's just no way as good as some of the maps that come with it. The new gunship is hit and miss and to make matters worse not that many people play it.

And Bornrunnin31, I regular drop 10-20 on PSN games, the difference now will be I'll get 4-5 games instead of 1. Good deal, especially when there's so many gems out there.

Shockingly, I have only been to Michigan once in my entire life (I went to Battle Creek). One of my old good friends lives there right now and I'd love to visit him (I forgot where). I just mention Lansing a lot because I see the sign on I-69 in my hometown saying north to Lansing (or South to Indy), and I'm familiar with MSU Spartans (since I go to Purdue main campus). I actually considered MSU but decided to not leave my state.

I grew up with universal healthcare that wasn't for profit, so even though I work at a hospital I know deep down they're never going to offer the best because they always have an eye on the $$$.

This was starting to turn into the warhawk/cod4 social thread. And somehow TMK ended up here? LOL

Back on topic, right. Does anyone know any upcoming games for PSN? It's kinda hard to find information on those since most coverage is on retail titles. I saw one called Plunder from a few guys formerly of Bungie Studios, but didn't really look like my thing.

:grouphug: <-- group hug, lolSorry, I have the magic touch to sometimes turn a thread around. Maybe I need to get out more. ;)

Anyway, I cannot guarantee anything, but some I know of are:
Bionic Commando Rearmed will feature Remote Play - Q2
Dark Mist - TBA USA
Echochrome Q2 08
Elefunk - TBA
GT5 Prologue - April
Nova Strike - TBA
PixelJunk Eden - TBA
Rocketmen: It Came From Uranus - Q2
Socom Confrontation - Q2 08
Soldner-X - TBA
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD - TBA
Wipeout HD - May
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 - Q2

PS1 downloads:
Casltevania Chronicles - TBA (ESRB list it)
Rayman - TBA (ESRB list it)
Street Fighter Alpha - TBA (ESRB list it)
Wipeout XL - TBA (ESRB list it)

I know there are some missing, but that's off the top of my head. Since I have close contact information with people within SCEA, I might be able to figure out more. ;)

I try to get on here at least a few times a week, but I trust the Stranded Brit will keep me informed on any pressing issues. He is right I am pretty damn busy with work and school. It sux that I have one of those jobs with no internet, only intranet. Fucking corporate america, who are they to tell me I have to actually work when I am punched in. At my last job I surfed all damn day, until they went out of business. Hmmm.... related in any way, I think not. I would much rather be surfing the net, checking out youtube and posting in the CAG forums. Funny story, I just spilled a full glass of water on my coffee table and I rescued my PS3 controllers and bluetooth B4 the laptop and remotes, my wife thought it was pathetic. I think I just have my priorities in order.

As far as what I am interested in downloading, that is a great question, pretty much anything. I want all of the Rock Band DLC, I am pretty open to almost anything. I currently have:
Pixeljunk Monsters, SSHD, Qbert, HVB,Everyday Shooter, CAC, Crash Bandicoot 1+2, Super Puzzle Fighter 2, Super rub a dub, Toy Home, Go Sports Ski, MK II

Rock Band DLC: Grateful Dead Pack 1, Brass in Pocket, Working Man, Roam, Juke Box Hero, Hard to Handle, All the Small Things, Oasis Pack 1, The Kill, Move Along, Fortunate Son, Dirty Little Secret, Attack, My Sharona, Last Train to Clarksville, Buddy Holly, Black Sabbath Pack 1

Does everything have to be a variation on a top down/scrolling shooter!?!?!?
Nonetheless, there are still some promising games in the future.
I forgot about Eden, which looks pretty interesting. Commando 3 looks like a must-buy, and i checked out a video of SoldnerX where the gameplay wasn't too impressive but I was digging the nice electronic soundtrack.

I'm beginning to see why you've all spent so much, since I never really looked at a lot of psn games.

I'm beginning to see why you've all spent so much, since I never really looked at a lot of psn games.It's because many games are around an impulse price level and if they look interesting, it's tough to pass up. Out of the 20 games I bought (5 are PS1), I regret 1 PSN game (the LocoRoco one, since it's no where near as good as the PSP one and 1-2 PS1 games). Also, many are pretty good and provide some short fun. There's still 4-5 more I plan to get one day (GripShift, PixelJunk Racers, Crash Bandicoot 2, Crash Bandicoot 3, etc.).

Oh yeah, Assault Heroes might come to PSN also (listed at ESRB.org) and N+ might come to PSN once the exclusive agreement with MS is up.

Wooooo! Now I'm excited, I just created a database using Microsoft Access with all the Rock Band DLC released so far which makes it super easy to see what songs people own/don't. Very convenient. I could put one together for group 2 if you want StrandedBrit, since you seem to be the captain of that ship. Just a simple table with the Game's name, price, and then a column for each person and whether or not the own it.

I used the data from wikipedia for psn games, so hopefully its accurate.

Alright so after some tinkering around and reading up on accounts it turns out that Group 4 (or Group 5 if Johnny wants to keep Group 4) is going to have to be a Canadian Group. This is because you can't input credit card/billing info if you live in a different country.

Example: I live in Canada, so made the account Canadian. If someone who lives in the US wants to add funds to the account, they'll need to change the billing address of the account first. Unfortunately though you can't change the Country of the address, so it's only Canadians can put in their proper credit card/billing info.

So basically the Group I'm creating is officially a Canadian Group. Any Canadians feel like joining in?

EDIT: Quick edit just to say that I'm buying Loco Roco Cocoreccho as a starter game for the group. That way everyone knows that this isn't a scam or anything. Anyone who wants to be in the group please PM me your MSN or AIM names (which I'd rather have since it's a lot easier to keep in touch over games we want to buy and who's added what to the account's wallet).

Looks like a possibility for a 2nd purchase was going to be Everyday Shooter and another game. Bornrunnin31, hone and smiggity are the ones who don't have ES. Problem is, buddah and I already have it and we're having trouble finding a game to add to ES. If you guys are really wanting ES, we could find a game to add but were hoping to maybe wait until a game we really want comes out.

Thoughts?

My kid actually loves it. I've playes it a bit. Gotta to the 3rd level I think. It's a nice experience. Relaxing and entertaining. I think the controls are meant to be a little loose.

I personally like how no two psn games I've got so far are alike. Even SSHD and ES which are both shooters are pretty different in approach. Echochrome and WipeoutHD look to continue that trend.

Freezing Alone
03-27-2008, 09:10 PM
Group 2 just so you know, the expansion is there but only the person who actually bought flOw can see it.

This is because for anyone else, the game isn't in their download list, and the store assumes you don't have flOw or its expansion. For that reason it only offers the bundle, since if you didn't have the game that would be the better deal.

If you want to get the expansion, just have the person who bought flOw buy it, because I'm 110% sure it's showing up in his store (since he/she has no need for the bundle).

well i found you can find plenty of things through the "all games" tab. This store really has a horrible interface and I can't wait for the makeover. I used to be clicking around the different "game" and "featured" tabs under the different categories for add-on content and downloadable games, which only give you the last few updates worth.

As far as poker for the group, I'm a little on the fence. Not much of a card player, but if the interest in there from everyone else . . . . . . . . . . . peer pressure.

Once you download a game from your shared account, you can play it whenever you want. Doesn't matter who's online or not. Techincally all 5 could be playing the same game at the same time. It's just how it works.

More info on upcoming purchases. According to this (http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/03/28/psn-next-wave-revealed-wipeout-hd-echochrome-elefunk-pixeljunk-monsters-encore/) we'll have a bumper may!

“Echochrome” — This is Sony’s hyped MC Escher-style puzzle game. I previewed it in December (http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2007/12/11/hands-on-with-echochrome-the-pros-and-cons-of-sonys-bold-ps3-game/) and now have a full PS3 build. This thing seems just about complete to me. More to come on it this afternoon. The game will be out in early May.

“Elefunk” — From the title you might expect a music game starring elephants. I did. Instead, this game requires players to use a set number of struts, squares and other beam supports to build bridges for cute but gravity-prone chasms. If you’re smart enough, you can build a bridge that will support their efforts to traverse deep gaps. The game will be out in May.

“PixelJunk Monsters: Encore” — This expansion to the tower-defense game “PixelJunk Monsters” adds the island of Toki to the original game’s island of Tiki. Looks like there are at least a dozen new levels, but I need to play more to learn more. Add-on pack will be out in late April

“WipEout HD” — Even on standard-definition TVs this game looks like the slickest futuristic racer since “F-Zero GX.” I’ve asked Multiplayer “WipEout” aficionado Patrick Klepek to investigate this game. He’ll have impressions later today. The game will be out in late May or early June.

I know echochrome, elefunk and wipeout are definites for me. I'd like to get the PJM addon too.

EDIT: I see bornrunnin is the only one who doesn't have PJM, which is a shame. Great game.

That elefunk game actually looks pretty cool too..Like lemmings with elephants. That is a long ways away, so its looking like Poker still with the remaining funds used for PJM Encore later? They say it is a whole other island!! That combo sounds fine to me.

+1 on the rockband group - I think I was the last to add money to the wallet. =)


And yeah - it'd be great if OP could update - people are a little confused as to which groups are open and what group is doing what

Too bad we can't do open wiki posts on CAG

In reference to the OP and this thread .... it hasn't been updated in forever.

Maybe a good idea would be to keep this as a signup thread, but once a group have been formed then that group starts it's own thread. That way you don't have to wade through multiple posts to find out what's what.


EDIT: Done. The new thread for Group 2 is here (http://cheapassgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177942).

Damn, they release the "Still Alive" this week FOR FREE and because of the PSN Store maintenance, we don't get it!

So Rock Band Group, I can either select a few songs and then we can vote on them again like last time via PM, or I had another idea to have a group chat this week or next to discuss songs. We can use the built-in CAG chat device but would just have to find a time that works for everyone.

Thoughts?

Edit: Also, would you guys rather have our own thread, like Group 2 does now? I'm just trying to find ways to open up communication since everything is kinda flowing in/out of me right now.

I think we should start our own thread like in group 2, since it appears that whoever started this one is not willing to keep up on updating the OP. I tink it will make it much easier to keep track of, and less time consuming. I don't know about you guys, but my time is limited and precious right now. I am juggling work, school, family and gaming right now and it is hard to keep up. I really appreciate the PMs keeping me in the loop when I do log on bornrunnin31, it is very helpful. With group 2 stuff I have StrandedBrit keepin me informed as I do not have as much time to cruise all the threads as I would like. I am all for seperate thread.

Problem is, when you have 15-20 odd people taking about their particular group it gets confusing going through all the posts to find what is relevant to your group. Could we maybe have a sub forum?

Unfortunately I don't have the power to create forums and/or subforums. I could accumulate all the group links and post them in the OP if that helps?

There's rules governing that I think. Up until recently I could only do 1 at a time and I just noticed I could do 3. So it must be either something to do with length of time here or number of pms sent or something. I dunno.

I'm all for cleaning up the forums and keeping other threads to minimum if there are functions in place that negate the necessity for those extra threads....

Is there a way, Linkin, that we can lobby/suggest the following then:

1. PM recipient increase
2. Ability to create wiki posts - ie: editable by anyone ala' FW?
2a. I say that only b/c we wouldn't want to end up having people blame Miller for not updating since he has a life of his own.

Yea, that's fine. However, I don't see us doing the Tekken thing. Isn't it like $20-25?

BTW, I have no real desire to LEAD a group. If someone else has done this and would like to head/organize the group then please step up.

We've got 4 people. Atomsk, myself, Maynard, and Trey. So maybe if we can pick up someone that has done this or has experience that would be nice.

The only problem with this is, i'm not going to be able to check up on this site 24/7. What i'm asking is the help of a CAG who could hop on every now and again to add people to the groups. It would be greatly appreciated. If I can't get anyone to do this.. well.. please keep the complaining to a minimum if can't add you the second you sign up.

:edit: after re-reading my post, i don't mean to sound like a douche bag or anything, lol, I just don't want people to complain that i wont be able to be on all the time.

Hey Millertime,

I could do this job easily. I've been a mod on a few other small forums and would have no trouble doing this. Because of my schedule/life right now I've got significant free time and could hop on here and check for people. Making that little forum work fluidly is going to be very important for it to actually work.

I personally wish they'd just allow us to keep our little threads. That's what 4 threads on this entire forum? Seems a little tight, but I don't run the show so I'm glad we've got an alternate system.

Group 4 was created as a game download group. It wasn't created for DLC like cod4 maps or Rockband stuff. You guys may look into making a group for that, but if I'm stuck leading group 4 that's not the direction we will go. If everyone has(or we pick up) Pixel Junk then I could see us possibly picking up the expansion, but otherwise I'd say we would stay online with basic download-able games.

All of this guessing of course that Miller adds us to the forum since we can't have a few threads for it.:roll:
