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/gamingre.../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!

could be in as long as its games and not dlc for rockbank GH3 etc.

Yes, Games only. Will point that out in the OP and add you to the list. Thanks!

What are the 5 games going to be?

See Requirements.

MSN/AIM/Yahoo Messanger for discussing which games to buy

The 5 games we all agree on.

I'm in as long as i don't already have the games.

I'd be interested, depending on what games they are. Might be worth everyone putting down what they're interested in getting out of the 5 in the thread.

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:

* Calling All Cars
* fl0w
* Super StarDust HD
* PAIN
* Everyday Shooter

I already have PixelJunk Monsters

I have a question for groups like these. If everyone downloads Tekken DR online, can everyone play it online at the same time after switching to their usual account?

I'm in for

Call all cars
Pain
Flow
Stardust
Pixeljunk

I have high velocity bowling, MKII, twisted metal, and everyday shooter.

If I don't want 1 or so of the agreed upon that's no biggie.....

I could be wrong, but I think Warhawk is the only one with a restriction.

Think we could make one for Rock band DL and/or PS1 games? Cause I need some of both of those.

I updated the OP.

I'd like to get in on MrBrando's Rock Band DLC group

I'll be in group 2 for sure.

How are we all going to be satisfied as to what games are bought?

Smiggity, Hone, I just pmed you concerning my interest.

OP updated again. Group 1 members, drop me a line on AIM, i'd like to get started with the group as soon as you guys are up for it.

Thanks for updating the groups MillerTime...

Can I get in on group 2?
