Alts (if someone drops before buy-in):

This weeks releases are our first potential purchases. Buy-in goes to mojimbo. CAG social group will be our HQ. Discussions, questions, votes, and $$$ organizing will be done there.

[quote name='Togepy']Same here, I want all of those plus fat princess, crash commando, rag doll kung fu, the pain amusement add on, bionic commando rearmed, the last guy and if its shareable socom. So yeah I'm basically up for everything except Siren and most retro/PSone classics. If we can get this going soon since elefunk is coming out today it'll be cool. I think depositing $10 into whoever is going to be purchasing the games is the best idea for the near future.[/QUOTE]

all of those sound great to me. i don't have pain, but if the group wants the expansion, i'd probably just end up buying pain. i agree that we should get going today since elefunk will be out. let's figure out where we're sending the money and how much the buy in is.
 
Oh dang, didn't see you were starting a Wiki. Where would that be hosted?

EDIT: I set up a private CAG social group for the group and sent out invites to all of the members, those might be in your PM boxes.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/group.php?groupid=80

It's private(I checked) so we can discuss stuff there at the moment just between ourselves and if we come up with something better like a Wiki I can break it down and we can move over there.

Oh one last thing about the group. If you plan to buy multiplatform releases on XBLA (SSF2HDREMIX) instead of PSN don't join the group and vote no since that's unfair to those who want those titles and only have a PS3. I don't think it's a problem since PSN is 1/5 cheaper with gamesharing and hasn't got any gimped ports but just saying as a warning.
 
never got an invite to the group, but payday is tomorrow for me, so I'll have the buy-in

meh. nevermind...it wasn't in pm box though:p
 
so besides getting in the group, does anyone want to trade either Rock Band songs for other songs, or Rock Band songs for older games like SSHD, or Pain?
 
miyamotofreak--are we still going to get the SSHD multiplayer add on this week?

[quote name='LinkinPrime']Oh...guess I"m out...I thought this was the group:

bigdsinferno
mojimbo
whiskeycrazy
linkinprime
togepy

Oh well...no worries.[/QUOTE]

LinkinPrime, if you're interested, maybe the two of us could get 3 more people that are interested and form a 2nd group. I'm up for PixelJunk Eden, Ratchet, Fat Princess, Wipeout, ect. Let me know what you think.
 
If anyone on here has Crash Team Racing I would be willing to trade some of my games for it. I only got Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2, Medievil, and Rayman. So if your interested PM me
 
Sorry about being out of it the past few days. Started a new job, and currently I am in the middle of working both jobs today... 7:30-4:00 and then 5:00 to 12:00 (midnight).

Needless to say, i need some sleep. But I sent out PM's to everyone to sign up on the gamesharing forum, and hopefully we can finally get this thing rolling and get Elefunk within a day or two.
 
Alright. Need help here. I just picked up an MGS4 PS3 and I'm backing up my 40 gig using the backup utility. I've received some PSN games in a share and now I need to know how to get them on my new system. Do I have to contact the original purchaser to get the passwords again? Or will a restore to the new PS3 do it? Also, I've shared out all my original 5 downloads to my own games. Will I still be able to download/install them?

Oops. I sent the rest of your group PMs too to sign up. Oh well. I've sent you a PM.

If you use the backup utility, you PS3 will be restored on your new HDD exactly like you had it. Share game and all. You shouldn't be required to reinstall anything.

Well, that may be the case, but when I tried to restore it to my new PS3, the games were not copied. It gave a warning that somethings might not be copied because it was a different PS3. I had to go to my old PS3 and manually deactivate it. After that, I could download the games I bought. It turns out that I only got one shared to me, Super Puzzle Fighter HD, so it's not a biggie if I can't get it back. I'm going to try to contact the person who shared with me, but I'm not holding out hope. At worst, it's a couple bucks.

you won't be able to redownload on a different ps3 if the person who shared with you already shared it with 5 people. now, that you have a new ps3, it would be like sharing with a 6th.

I would never try to redownload it without deactivating the account in the first place. That'd be taking 2 downloads from the person when it's not even necessary.

Actually, I think I've found a way around this problem and I think it needs to be one of the rules for trading:

- I can deactivate the PSN account I used to download the game on my PS3 and then add it to my new PS3. When I do that, I can download the game to my new PS3.

I think that one of the rules for sharing needs to be that if you share a game, you've got to be willing to allow a person access to your account again if they need to deactivate the account so they can redownload the game on another PS3.
 
is there anyone else interested in starting a Rock Band group? getting the dlc is killing me lol, would be so much nicer to have some other people to share the costs with
 
I would really like to join a group. Please contact me. I currently have Samurai Spirits 1&2 PS1 game Pixel Junk Monsters Qore Issue 1 (dunno if thats even sharable) and I was thinking of getting Tekken 5 Dark In.

dunno. seems no one cares now that the trophy hype has died down.. I'm still ready to do it.
 
Just had a good experience with a fellow CAGer this afternoon on trading PSN games. One of his for one of mine.

I'm looking to obtain High Velocity Bowling or High Stakes Poker in exchange for PAIN which I have.


If you're interested, PM me. (Don't post here to let me know you PM'ed me. I'll get it :)).

Thanks

Dr. SP

Late to the party, but is there anyone still interested in forming a Super Stardust HD group? This would include the main game along with all the expansion packs (Solo and Team Expansion).

If we can get 5 CAGs together, it will be $4.43 per person after PayPal fees. Post here or PM me if you're interested.
 
just did two more nice and smooth trades with some good people

kudos to aznguyen316 and bigdaddy1313

only psn game looking to trade for now is PAIN, but I'm still looking for any Rock Band songs I don't have including the albums and song packs
 
I'm interested in PixelJunk Monsters. That is, I would like to purchase the game, and then allow somebody to grab it from my account. (Half-off sounds wonderful.)

At that point, can I (the account creator) change my password? This would return my account to my hands only, right?

Mainly, the security is the only reason why I don't want to do this long-term. Plus, I would like to be the account creator. A local friend wanted to take part...but he doesn't want PixelJunk Monsters! >.<

(I might also be interested in SSHD and its expansions.)
 
I still have a spot for Tekken if that is what you mean dbc100, if not is anyone else interested? I'll take the money or a spot in another trade if someone would rather do that.

It sounds like you've basically got this right, Rig. In a one-for-one trade you'll temporarily change your PSN account password giving someone else access to your account. With that access they can download things that you've purchased. Hopefully they will only try to grab what you've agreed to trade!

They will give you their account info and a temp password so you can access their account.

Once you've downloaded each others stuff, you'd change that temp password back to what it once was so they would no longer have access.

They way this was explained to me, your PSN purchase can live on up to 5 PS3 (ID'ed by serial number). So once on your PS3, once on your trading buddy's PS3, and then up to three other trading buddies.

I'm not sure that it works like how iTunes authorizes and deauthorizes computers to play back purchased tunes if you exceed their 5 computer limit.

Your concerns about security are good although I've had good experiences here on CAG so far.

i thought that we found out you can only share each account with 5 ps3's and it had nothing to do with the amount of times each game was downloaded. I just wanted to mention this for people who are doing 1 for 1 trades. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

This be the truth.

You can only share your account with 4 other ps3's. And when you share with someone, they techically have access to everything you have. So even though you say Pain for SSHD, that other person can take PAIN and everything else you have (unless you have nothing else).
 
[quote name='cdietschrun']So because I traded my account with Whiskey's for a bit, I am only able to share my account with 3 other people, ever?[/QUOTE]
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 name='cdietschrun']So because I traded my account with Whiskey's for a bit, I am only able to share my account with 3 other people, ever?[/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.
