Massive changes were announced on November 4, 2011 that have affected the gamesharing community. Gamesharing is still possible but operates quite differently now.
Changes include:
1) Content purchased AFTER 11/18/2011 will be limited to 2 system activations.
2) Content purchased BEFORE 11/18/2011 will still have 5 system activations
3) It is now possible to deactivate systems remotely* from your PS3 via Qriocity. (frees up activation slots held by bricked PS3s)
4) PS+ works in a similar fashion, everything downloaded before the 18th can be downloaded 5x, anything after can only be downloaded twice.
*This can only be done once every 6 months.
-------------
Different How-To's and Tips for gamesharing
How to Host a Gameshare Group:
1) Create a dummy email account*
2) Create a dummy PSN account (Qriocity.com has the easiest interface)**
*It is recommended that the password of the email and the PSN account are different and recorded somewhere safe. That way, account stealing will be easier to prevent.
**It is highly recommended that you write down the date of birth you used in the creation of the account. It is crucial in retrieving passwords.
PRO TIP:
Currently, all purchases made on PSN are tax-free, so put any address you want.
3a) Add your CC to the dummy account and purchase the agreed upon game.
3b) Buy a PSN card from your local retailer and redeem it in the newly created account.
PRO TIP:
Receive all the payment first before buying the game. Though it might slow the process down, it will keep you safe.
4) REMOVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
PRO TIP:
Don't even think about forgetting this step.
5) Share the game with your CAG buddies and enjoy the game!*
-------------
How to deactivate your PSN ID from your PS3:
1) Log-in your PS3 using the account you want to deactivate
2) To deactivate, go to Account Management -> System Activation -> PS3 System -> Games -> Deactivate
3) To delete your account from the PS3, go to Users on the far left side of the XMB and delete the user your PSN ID is attatched to.
NOTE: Step 2 frees up one of the 2 (previously 5) possible shares on the PSN account.
Step 3 frees up one of the 16 maximum slots on your PS3.
-------------
Gamesharing 101
1) Never change the password for the account, so that the others could sell it when they do not need it anymore.
2) When sending payment (via PayPal I'm assuming), always type in your CAG username in the accompanying message.
3) You can only have a maximum of 16 user accounts in your PS3 and thus, only have a maximum of 15 game share accounts (15 plus your main account = 16). Deleting a user account will free up one of the 16 slots available for your PS3.
4) Games purchased on a game share account can be played on your main account. Great for trophy hunters.
5) Only 2 people can 'share' a PSN account (You and 1 other)
6) Always keep a text file of your username password so as to not forget them.

Got error code 80029780?
1. Go to Account Management > Account Information > Sign-In ID (E-mail Address) > and enter your password.
2. Enter another e-mail or simply delete a letter or number.
3. Go to PlayStation Store and download content.
4. Restore original e-mail for other members of the group. -------------
Limited Paypal Account:
There are several reasons why a Paypal account can get limited. While the following steps will not lift all reasons for limitations, it will be your best bet to do so.
1) Log-in and check all information that Paypal requires.
2) Submit all the required information all at the same time. You can take your time submitting it but be sure to submit it all at once. The council can immediately decide the fate of your account when you submit a required information. Your best chance is to submit all the documents at the same time so as they have all the facts with them as they convene.
3) Immediately call Paypal. Toll-free number is 1-888-221-1161.
Hours of service:
4:00 AM PST to 10:00 PM PST Monday through Friday
6:00 AM PST to 8:00 PM PST Saturday and Sunday
Reason: Letting the council decide your fate is risky. Even if the reason for the limitation is somewhat petty, as long as it breaks the ToS, they will immediately limit your account. A better way to go about this is call Paypal right after you submit all the required documents. The Paypal CSR can lift a limitation but cannot reopen a closed Paypal account. Once the CSR sees that all the required information has been provided, they will most likely lift the limitation on the spot. If they are not so keen, they will asjk questions about the limitation. Be prepared to answer them. If they feel that it is sufficient enough, they will lift your account as well.
You have a much higher chance to have your account lifted if you talk to the CSR simply because you can easily explain yourself.

All credit for everything above this line goes to bastiartadi with some minor tweaks to update information.
I believe there is some truth to all of these statements. If I recall correctly, the difference hinges on the size of the onboard NAND in your specific model. I believe the 256MB module contains the firmware and account information completely, so should work to transfer phantoms. If it's the 16MB module, you will have to reactivate any shares after the upgrade is complete.
I personally have a fat 60GB BC model and all shares transferred without reactivation when I upgraded the HDD.
In addition to this post, several other sellers on this page (assuming 25ppp) will continue updating their post on this page, in addition to posting new ads. The accuracy of the posts on the first page will vary by the poster, but should be fairly accurate. Regardless, this page should be checked from time to time, as new ads may be missed if many posts are made in a short time.

KuHLiiDE's Credit System [NEW/IN DEVELOPMENT]
My point system is still in making and some changes may appear over time.
I do not lose anything on my end and you gain on yours. A win-win situation!
I'll be keeping credit amounts on my own spreadsheet.
I'm starting a new idea where if you buy/trade/rent anything from me you will receive virtual points that will go toward a "reward" that can be used to "redeem" one of the choices below for discounts on any future involvement with me. These rewards will be 10%, the amount of how much the item you purchased.
Ex/
New Resell is $20, which would be 2 credits
New Phantom is $10, which would be 1 credit
Any other amount would be 10% of xxxx unless noted
ex/ 10% of $3 would be 0.3 credits
You will also earn 5% credit if I buy anything off of you! If I have any pre-loaded accounts you would like to buy for your group/need it for hosting, each member will receive 1.5 credits. Buying my pre-loaded accounts actually really help me out! For more details on the account, check the separate statement about the below!
You get credits after the transaction!
For now, here's my list in the making: Each single credit is worth $0.10 You can use your credits toward a group slot/game/rental at anytime. You don't have to only use the few "rewards" I have below.
These selected redemption below can also be chosen:
5 credits - free week game rental
10 credits - $1.10 off selected purchase/rental from me
You can also give your credits to another person! Just have said person notify me how much they will part with you through P.M!
Pre-Fund/Credits Available Accounts Available
none...
These accounts are pre-funded with PSN cards and have a dummy email. You can buy these off of me or I can help you host them.
These are accounts that I preload with my own cards that I obtain at discount. Skeptical that they were funded some wise else? Account transactions will show they are funded with PSN cards. If you buy them off, you are responsible for changing the email, password and putting a PSN ID afterwards. Resells:
All US/NA based accounts unless noted

Every time I hear about this secret group it makes me want to get a PS4. But alas I'm only at $150 in my fund toward one. Hoping to score one through AWD when I have the money for under $300.

Hey did anyone notice that the psplus changes seem to make it so that the large pool of games you start out with on the IGC are just a monthly thing now? If you have a sub already it won't affect you but new guys (once the IGC starts getting smaller until it's just that month's games) will have less of a reason to join.
