Question And Answers
--------------------
1. Who will be responsible for the setting up the account?
I will be responsible for setting up the account from name to purchases.
2. How will we determine what games to buy?
I made a list of what I want (above). While I personally strongly push Trophy games, and jump on some PSN sales for that week, it is by no means limited to that. Anyone in the group can let me know a game they want added to the list.
The group (us) will take votes on whether or not which game to buy.
I will keep a list of who wants what.
If 3 of the 5 want it, it is bought as a group. (see next question to cover your fears)
If only two of us want it, the 2 can optionally each pay 50% if they want.
3. But why should I pay for a game if I did not vote for it? WTF?
Yeah, I know. You are actually 100% right!
How often do you think practically speaking you will ever find a group that has all the people agreeing to add a game?
It hardly happens, because usually one person has the game already, or thinks it sucks.
I bet that some of the games I already own will also be voted for by three others, and I will have to pay 1/5 again.
But I am also sure it is worth it to have a solid group, and all new games going forward will not be pre-owned by anyone.
Simply, if you want in this group, you accept that occasionally you won't care for one we add, but chances are MOST you will like.
Heck, you are one of the five voting for the game!
The bright side is: you don’t need to go hunting for a group each time a new game comes out.
Also, you can have a max of 16 account on your PSN, and this share will allow you to stay under that limit.
NOTE: If you are still angry about this, then this is NOT the share for you. Flame me via PM if it makes your ego feel better.
4. How do I send payment?
You have three options (whatever you prefer):
a) Send the exact amount using PayPal, be sure to mark it as "Personal", instead of "Purchase". Also choose "Gift", as this is the only way to avoid PayPal fees. No CC for this option, must be funded with either your paypal balance or bank withdrawal. If this is too complicated, simply choose one of the other options.
b) Send Paypal "Purchase" amount WITH added surcharge. As an example, instead of $10, it would be $10.66 (I will e-mail you the amount each time). This can be funded with CC or whatever (PayPal "Purchase" charge is currently the same regardless of the source of payment.)
c) Send me a unused PSN Card code that will be used to add funds to the account. I will also keep track of how much credit you have left before you need to send another.
5. What's the maximum number of people in this group?
There can only be five (5) of us in this group including myself.
6. How much do we have to pay for one game?
Each of us will pay 1/5 of the MSRP. (example $20 = $4/ea).
The current initial list of titles is just over $65, so just over $13/ea. As we vote and decide to add games, you will be asked to contribute whatever your share is.
Let me know if you are in,
