[quote name='LinkinPrime']Yes, but you can create new accounts.[/QUOTE]
Dude, you're so wrong here. It's a per game limit, not a per account limit. Read my example up above.
 
Anyone interested in trading Rock Band songs?
I'm new to this and would probably need some help getting it done. I currently have -
Critical Acclaim
Afterlife
All the Small Things
Crushcrushcrush
This Aint a Scene
Inside The Fire
Attack
The Kill
Hammerhead
Move Along
I Fought the Law
Wonderwall
Promised Land
Still Alive
Down at the Whisky
Dirty Little Secret
Metallica Pack
Snow (Hey Oh)
Tell Me Baby
Beethoben's Cunt
Buddy Holly
Black Sabbath Pack
Weezer Pack
Boston Pack
Hysteria
Who's Going Home With You Tonight?

The main stuff I am looking for is The Who Pack and the Queens of the Stone Age Pack and anything else really.

Let me know if you're interested.
 
[quote name='torifile']The 5 PS3 limit is per game. If you bought SSHD, Pain and PJM, say, and share PJM with me, you'll still have 4 shares of SSHD and Pain and only 3 of PJM (as long as I didn't swipe Pain and SSHD without telling you! ;)I use different accounts to minimize this problem).

And your future game sharing is completely unaffected. So, if you bought Everyday Shooter after you've changed your password back, you'll have 4 shares left (after you download it, of course).

Does that clarify some?[/quote]

Yes, but you can create new accounts. I create a GS account and buy the stuff that I plan to share on them, keep the stuff out of my original account. Once you download whatever you want on the GS account, it will be available to you on your original acct to play.[/spoiler]
OK, I see now. That does clarify a lot, thanks.

So best idea if I was get into a gamesharing group here (HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK?) would be to make a separate profile to download a new game, say PixelJunk Monsters, and then share that account? And are we talking my account that I log into (cdietschrun)? Or my actual PSN login ([email protected]) that is tied to the 5 downloads per gamesharE?

Sorry to be confused.

It's a 5 account limit not game limit. Although it sounds similar it is not. That's presumably why you create different accounts though so people don't snag your other stuff (BTW there's a 16 account limit per PS3).

To use the example above in your terminology :whistle2: If you bought SSHD, Pain and PJM, say, and share PJM with me, you'll have lost 1 share out of 4 for all games.

EDIT: READ the OP. There's also one or two more old gameshare threads that prove this point also.

That is a HUGE difference from what I understood. Still a bit confused on what the best approach would be if I wanted to share multiple games with multiple other CAGers.

We'll you could do single accounts for games like Torifle said, but with a 16 account limit on the PS3 sooner or later you're going to run out.

There's no perfect solution. The gameshare you're in right now should at least get you most decent new stuff though ....

Well, I stand corrected. :eek: And thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense to be on a per account basis than a per game basis. And it also explains why I ran out of PJM downloads when I thought I had 2 left.

So, to clear up the confusion I caused by my post - you have 5 account shares. All games, present and future, are affected by the number of shares you've made previously because games can only be played on activated PS3s and you only get 5 at a time. In other words, you have to make new accounts unless you plan to share all your games with the same people.

And having read the OP with SCEA's response, I feel much better about sharing. I'd like to join a group if there's one available.

Is sounds like from earlier posts that some games are shareable while others are not (GT5P for instance).

Is there a certain way to tell if a game is sharable or not?

Thx

Right now the only 2 non shareable games are Warhawk and GT5P. When you go to purhcase them and read the disclaimer (small print) it says in a roundabout way that they are not shareable.

On a side note, SingStar songs are also unshareable.

Since fw 2.4 and after 2.41 GT5:p and Warhawk are both Shareable:hot:!!! Now, I do not know how long this will last though...

I guess I didn't know there was one, but I'm sure I will be getting it!
 
Hey CAGers -

I'm in the process of forming a 5-member trading group focusing on older games on the PSN. As a new PS3 owner myself, I found it hard to find a team that was doing this. I also didn't want to miss out on the great PSN content released before I got my system. It turns out there are others in the same boat.

This is a quick hit group that is just going to get the top "older" PSN games and them fold the group. No long term commitment.

Based on the current membership, we've come up with an initial (and possible final) list of games we will buy. It includes:

1. Pixel Junk Monsters
2. High Velocity Bowling
3. Echochrome
4. High Stakes Poker
5. TBD

You'll notice that Superstardust is not on the list. We found that many members already had it and that it would be hard to find new team member if they already had it. Perhaps the extension packs could be an option though.

Initial, and likely only, buy in is $10 a member. We'll manage the team through CAG and the ancillary message board focused on these groups.

If you're interested, please let me know ASAP. We already have two committed members and one "maybe." I'd ask that you PM me if you're interested though. Don't post your interest on this board please. It will help me keep track of interest this way.

Thanks! Hope to hear from you.

Dr. SP

*EDIT: Three of the four games I listed above went on sale at 50% off on the PSN. I think I'll go ahead and pick up the ones I wanted that way.

I'm still interested in joining a long term trading group if anyone is left? Miyamoto freak you still have that group with us or is that gone? I have been in Disney world for the past 1 1/2 weeks :)

Ive read this 3 times now, but no one has actually confirmed it 100% with any concrete evidence. I would LOVE for it to be true!!!

edit -

I just went to the Playstation Store, and the wording on Warhawk is that it can be shared with 5 machines but only once every 24 hours. The one for GT5P says you have to be logged into the account to use it. So odd.

I really want to do PJM and the expansion.

If a group of 4 want to do just that, it'd come out to 3 bucks a pop. Anyone interested in getting that started?

I would like to do PJM + expansion.

How about for 1942: Joint Strike?

PSN: RavensCrest btw
 
Just to update.

I just got PJM Encore. That means I have PJM and Encore. I think Renald is interested in Encore.

I've also got Pain...though it was from a voucher from the MGS4 Bundle. Dunno if that makes a difference.

Yep, I'm definitely interested in Encore. :D Are you thinking of getting a group together for Encore? I'd be interested in joining if you are.

I got Pain awhile back though so I'm not sure if you can share Pain since you got it from a voucher. XD
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']I'm super up for 1942 and pain.[/quote]


OK, so it's you and me...

Anybody else for 1942: Joint Strike?

BTW, you need paypal for this i think.

I'd be in for the 2 as well. I'd buy as well, but I'd also like to get the exp for pain when it comes out as well.

nicolicreer
DarthPuma
myself
Jest

2 more... anyone?

hey v4, I'm down for Encore only + pain. unless you changed that now to 1942.. I may be in anyway just for pain lol

also since you've shared before, could you keep the same acct you shared w/ before?? since all the shares are used up for SSHD anyway. Well let me know, it might make a difference b/c I don't many too many users on the ps3

That should be a little over $3 each if there is 5 people right? I'll be in.

y0 Rig, if v4 isn't doing encore anymore I'd be in for it. Trophy support + custom soundtracks = want

??? We already got encore, another group. As in pixeljunk encore right, I'm a bit confused.

Ok so jest is in, one more for pain+1942 + maybe pain add on

Do you meant the sshd add on. I asked a few times about it but everyone seemed to lose interest in getting it since its only mulitplayer/ 1 extra trophy. What is the encore your talking about?

so warlock, bigds, jest, and me for PJM and the expansion. Anyone else?

On a side note, anyone know when the trophy patch is coming out?

Anyone else that wants to come in is more than welcome to. We need to figure who is going to do the initial purchase and all that other good stuff.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']Hey v4oldboy, do you wanna just get them now and get the last person to join when we can? I have paypal ready![/QUOTE]

I'd be willing to do that. I'll buy them tonight and I'll post when I've done so.

with ppal fees it'll be $3.40 a piece, pm and I'll send you my ppal email.

So we have one more spot open for Pain + 1942: Joint Strike + (possibly pain add on when it comes out)

Too bad the pricing isn't up for the pain add on yet, if it was we could pay now and save some cags a few cents on the ppal fees.
