I've done several shares with locked spots and never once had issues. It all comes down to trusting those you deal with. Which is why if I do join a group with locked spots, I do it on GTZ where access to the sharing is limited to people who have made several deals outside of game shares.
I very much like the limited access to the shares at GTZ, but enjoy the community here much more.
CoE is p decent, just very very long. Worth the money imo
locked slots are too much of a pain in the ass. You save $5 and have to put more risk on your share forever. If money is that tight you should be timesharing and not buying imo. locked spots show who the true cheap ass gamers are, heh
GTZ doesn't seem to welcome new people - it's way too hard to make a name for yourself there. if your barrier of entry is 10 physical trades then your community will never grow. i've yet to have a problem finding a group on here with regulars for anything i need, unless it's a pretty obscure title.
tempted to buy bound by flame for a second plat... but idk...
There's a 14-day PS+ trial in the store; I don't see why that wouldn't work for getting the sale prices. Only caveat is that it looks like you need to have a credit/debit card linked, not PayPal or PSN funds. If that's going to be problematic I can set it up myself; my debit card provider lets me set up unlimited virtual accounts, so it doesn't matter if they don't actually delete the card info after removing it.
If anyone can say for certain if the 14-day trial does or doesn't work for PS+ discounts, now would be the time to say so.

I don't suppose there'd be anyone who would be timesharing DOA5 LR on PS4 would there? I'm only interested in it for the trophies since I can platinum the game in probably 8 hours or less now, so don't want to outright buy it.

ESPECIALLY MANFROMTHESHAM who has been with us for so long and registered his first GS this week
Just also wanted to let you guys know how appreciative I am for heeding my requests for the quoting of feedback that was previously given to you it reduces my time on the sheet alot I may get time to make it look presentable..... MAY!!!!!
Also I must say that you guys are the most diverse and most awesome group of fellas I have ever come across in all my years of being in forums. You dudes assist each other lending or covering paypal when others come up short to free shares to less fortunate members without a second thought. I look at it sometimes in awe because we have no clue who is at the other end heck alot of these guys dont speak english *ALBANI* The level of trust here is beyond my comprehension and I hope this continues long into the future. This is what motivates me to contribute so much to this community to the point where I forget that cag isnt just a gameshare website. Did u guys know Microsoft store had a fricken huge sale last weekend I only found out today cause i clicked the thread by accident

Splitting the cost of a PS3 share by 50% is perhaps a justifiable reason to have to co-ordinate things like PW changes and resets. Trying to communicate with a locked spot owner on a site you aren't registered on, in order to save a couple of bucks isn't the best plan IMO.
Then there are periodically shady people doing shady things, and the less people with the current PW helps narrow down the "source of the problem". Having to factor in a locked spot owner isn't ideal to have stacked on the situation.
$5 is saved (for both resell and phantom) if a locked slot is done on release, but $10 (resell only) if sold after release.
PS3 games that cost $15 or less on the store have the resells saving $5 a piece by grouping with someone. For the $10 savings case, that's equivalent to a PS3 game that costs $30 on the store.
Cross-buy groups have seen PS4 resells paying $20, as opposed to the $35 they would normally pay. If a locked slot in a PS4-only group is sold after release, the resell would be paying $25. By going the cross-buy route, they are saving an additional $5, but they now have to share with two other members.
"Then there are periodically shady people doing shady things" - Same goes for any setup where there is more than one user at a time.
The same reason you ask anyone if there is a locked spot in a resell. It's a bother to deal with time consuming to track down here. And its food for scammers. Unless u want to manage every group that consist of one?
Same can be said for cross-buy groups. If someone is selling a slot in either of these groups, they are supposed to tell the buyer about there being other owners before the deal goes through.
I've done several shares with locked spots and never once had issues. It all comes down to trusting those you deal with. Which is why if I do join a group with locked spots, I do it on GTZ where access to the sharing is limited to people who have made several deals outside of game shares.

Looks like basically the same point made in different ways.
Multiple PS3 resells means 50% of the cost each, cross buy means significant savings percentage wise all around, while a locked slot gives you a minor fraction in return - no matter how much the cost of the account is. Many of of us are simply of the opinion that locked spots are not worth that hassle. I don't offer locked spots initially or down the road either. Despite all the calculations I'm sure you can make, I'd simply rather have the peace of mind on my PS4 slots then the 7% or whatever measly amount it is. The Risk+Pain are valued less then the Reward when it comes to locked slots.

The are several problems with locked spots. Most of the games can be played on a main simply by switching users. There are several users on GTZ that will only buy a locked spot if it can be switched. Thus, a person buying a locked spot of Dying Light for $10 is getting the exact same share that cost a resell holder $30. The only difference being the user account must first be signed into as opposed to just signing in on the main. Comparing PS4 shares to PS3 shares doesn't quantify the differences in risk that PS4 resell holders are subjected to. PS3 shares have 4 users splitting the share three ways. The PS3 resell holders are susceptible to an equal amount of risk. The same cannot be stated for PS4 shares. Trying to simplify the discrepancy to a dollar savings is ridiculous. It is about risk. There is no reason why a person should be acquiring a game for roughly 16% of the share and retain the account information. Furthermore, the slot can be sold. Personally I won't allow a locked spot on an account I create. If someone is looking to pay $10 for a share and recuperate at least half that (typically locked spots are listed for $7 on GTZ), they should be willing to pay $5 for a timeshare. Locked spots are the bench warmers that still get a ring due to the starters' performances. They get carried the whole way.

Make an arrangement with the owner where they don't sell it? For all groups (PS3 or PS4), regardless of setup, members of the group should be informed when a slot is sold and to which member it was sold.

$5/week? Even if you mean $5 for renting, given the pricing of rentals, why do that when they can use the locked slot for a much longer period of time?

Don't use them then? Isn't it a bit selfish to say they shouldn't be used by others simply because you don't want to deal with them? I'm referring to Qdizzle's post here, but the general negativity towards the slots that arises when someone asks about locked slots could also be included.
Hey, I bought a resell and found out later that a locked user was present and It was a pain to sort out. I don't use locked slots and don't intend to either, but who am I to say whether others should use them?
Raiborg you are missing the point. There is no structure here to manage,trace,or deal with lock slot users. Basically you are justifying the crossbuy situation as a perfect example. My answer to you is If we were to find out how many members still are the original owners of the advance warfare and destiny slots not many ppl can say them. Which lies the problem. I can care less for the pricing all i care about is
1) the security of my account.
2) the avoidance of issues latter down the road. Example: The resident evil issue from he library yes i know it has nothing to do with this but the concept is what im talking about
3)Tracing from person to person not all members will remember to ask if a locked spot is present. And WHY CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE HAVE TO DO THAT NOW??
It all boils down to the annoyance of policing a resell that you purchase and praying that it isnt passed on to a noob who thinks he bought a $5 resell and changes the password upon purchase.
Unless you want to be the cheif of investigations for locked spot transactions if it is let loose here I say TREAT LOCK SPOT TUTORIALS JUST AS PHANTOMING TUTORIALS.
If you are strictly interested in locked spot game sharing then there are other avenues and sites yo can utilize

It is US as a community and as frequent members of this thread to Collectively say NO we do not want this here.
Thats why in my statement the other day I said if I had the power to I would not allow it. I personally dont but the vast majority of us who dont care for it can say we dont want it in this forum.

I would never dictate how someone should run a group. I won't use a locked spot in my group. I agree, it is about pricing. It has always been about pricing. Is that not obvious? If a locked spot that can be switched wants to spend the same amount as the expense incurred by a resell holder, I'm ok with that. The risk then becomes equally shared. Whatever other members decide to do is their choice. However, I believe everyone should make an informed decision. This is only my opinion of the issue.

Added to this the whole concept of a locked spot being priced so low was the lack of trophies. The fact that people are willing to pay $10 for a lack of trophies to their profile is what confuses me in the first place. The person that came up with the concept in my opinion and i speak for NOBODY but myself here CHEATED THE SYSTEM AND PLAYED ON THE HEARTS OF HARDCORE FANATICAL TROPHY HUNTERS *No offence to anyone* making it appear that they cared so much for trophies that it was a deal breaker to not pay phantom price AT LEAST for it. This was allowed to run free into the wild to evolve into something that we probably can never go back and change. This reminds me Great Britain who claimed that their pilots ate alot of carrots in their diet thats why they were able to intercept Nazi warplanes so effortlessly when in reality Great Britain had the most sophisticated radar system on earth.
So to this day over 50 years later mothers tell their kids to eat carrots for good eyesight.
I dont care for lockspots just as I dont care for carrots :/
