I'm sure you heard the news of P.T.'s tragic history—a Silent Hills demo that got hyped up before being pulled from the Sony store entirely. Once it's deleted, it can never be redownloaded. The only way to get a hold of P.T. now is to buy a PS4 with the demo already downloaded and installed. Thus, some were selling their systems on eBay for $1K or more, but eBay pulls the plugs on any such listings ASAP these days. A few slip through the cracks (with seemingly brand new eBay accounts, lest their main ones get perma-banned).
So I wonder—how do these intrepid few follow through on their sales? Surely you'll need to link the new eBay account to PayPal (and PayPal to a bank account to get that money).
Secondly, as far as the console is concerned, it's a digital title tied to your PSN account. As far as I know, you'd have to leave your account signed in, leaving yourself vulnerable to someone screwing up your player profile (that you may have invested years in)—messaging your friends, buying games, etc. And while you could deactivate the system from your profile via Sony's account management website online, I feel like that'd run the risk of making that copy of P.T. on the old console unplayable, ripping off the buyer.
Any thoughts or advice? I know any talk of scalpers is uncouth, and I'm not looking to rip anybody off one way or another—just wondering if there's a reasonable solution out there.
