Question about PSN

[AcesHigh]

Sorry for the noobish question.

I have a PSN account. I used to own a PS3 and barely even played it when I used it. I did however, add a $20 PSN card to my account.

Is there any way I can maybe recuperate any of this by perhaps buying something for someone or gifting it to someone? I don't know anything about how PSN accounts work, so any help on this would be great.

Thank you!

The $20 is stuck to your PSN account/ user ID. Sorry, but you cannot buy a gift for someone else.

You could give/sell someone your PSN account info and they should be able to sign in on your account and use the $20 on their PS3.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll just leave it as is. No point in selling it, right?

yeah not worth it. you don't have any friends or whatever you could just 'give' the account to?

 

[AcesHigh]

None that have a PS3, no. What about that whole gameshare thing? Could I buy stuff and then let my cousin use it?

Gamesharing is a way to recoup your money. Make sure you buy $20 worth of stuff that's in demand, or you'll have a hard time getting rid of it. Something like Back to the Future or any recent PSN game would net you a quick $15/$20.
