It sort of spun off from the other thread (not important, but if you want to read it, the link is below).

The idea has been discussed before, but i don't think it was put into work. I'm offering a small PS3 sharing circle and I'm only taking FOUR members (just small for now, since larger group is harder to manage).
What is this PS3 disc'd sharing group?
Basically members throw in games they want to share into a pool and pay only shipping if he/she interested in the games from the pool. The games have to be the physical disc (Blu-ray). The term "pool" is just a collection of the games available for sharing. The actual games are at the location of the owner or the borrower.
You can join/leave the group any time you want. You can remove games from the pool any time you want (have to be your games, duh).
The only rule is:
Treat the games like your own, don't damage them, don't scratch them, don't finger print them :lol:
The whole system is based on honesty, if a game is lost in the mail, no biggies, we all grown ups and reasonable people, so we're capable of sharing, yes?
Here are some ideas to make sharing pleasant and smooth:

Here are some ideas to make sharing pleasant and smooth:
- Add games to the pool, start off with games you can part with. For me, Wanted: Weapon of Fate. You don't need to add high profile games to the pool, chances are other members have them.
- Communicate, if you send a game to another member, post the info, same thing if you receive a game.
- If no one is waiting for the games you borrowed and you platinumed/beat them, politely return them to the original owners at your expense (a thank you note won't hurt too)
- Take the time to play the games you borrowed, don't put them on the backlog especially if there's another member wants to borrow them (how many times we lend stuff to our friends and only to find that they just like to hold on to them?)
- Oh, don't borrow more than you can play, two games at any given time is reasonable.
- The account leader will be responsible to keep track of the game locations, so that you can see where the games are at any given time (who has what).
- If games lost in the mail, they will be noticed, some sort of recording system will be used to keep track of this. Crap happens in life, we deal with problems all the time
Forgiveness goes both ways, the sender or receiver can replace the lost games. If necessary, work out a deal with the original owner.
