CAG Gamesharing FAQ

Q: How does gamesharing work?

A: It's simple. Once you buy a game, that game is tied to your PSN ID. Basically all you do is give someone your account info, and they click "download again." Both players will have the game, but remember, don't delete the account from your PSN, or the downloaded game will be gone!

Q: This whole gamesharing thing sounds sketchy to me. Is it legit?

A: From CheapyD, the man himself:

Approved by Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America
http://www.wired.com..../2006/10/71982

Sony announced that players who download games from PlayStation's online shop can share them on up to five other PS3 machines.

If a player logs into his PlayStation 3 account on a friend's system, he can download any game he has already purchased. "You can send that content to four other friends for that initial investment," said Tretton. "We want to get the game in as many hands as possible." "It's not about generating profits at each and every interaction with the consumer," he said. "I think that really offsets the argument that says, 'Wow, that's a really pricey system.'"

Q: Feedback should be left for this transaction, right?

A: No. Per Trading/Feedback rules and guidelines in the trading forum:

Trading on CAG is "at your own risk". However, there are some special cases where feedback is not allowed and engaging in this specific trading activity warrants a special warning. Onto the list :

Playstation 3 gamesharing. You are opening up your account to trouble here. You know the risks.

Q: Are there restrictions?

Downloadable PS Store content (DLC) is region locked, whether disc or digital download, you need it from the same region as your disc or psn version for it to work.

http://www.psnstores...-nov-29th-2011/

Region 1/NTSC: North & South America
http://blog.us.plays...g/new-releases/
Region 2/PAL: Europe, Australia, NZ
http://blog.eu.plays...tion-network-2/
Region 3: Asia
http://asia.playstation.com/hk/en
Region 4: Japan

Q: What are the things you cannot gameshare?

Games such as:
Warhawk
GT prologue
SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Confrontation
some MMO's

Some DLC
Gran Turismo 5 DLC
Metal Gear Online Expansion packs

Videos and Avatars

Q: For games that aren't available in the US store, can you can play them on your main US account? Trophies, saves, etc aren't effected?

A: Yes. They will be saved under the user profile that you play them in.

Phantom Share FAQ

Massive changes were announced on November 4, 2011 that have affected the gamesharing community. Gamesharing is still possible but operate quite differently now.

Changes include:

1) Content purchased AFTER 11/18/2011 will be limited to 2 system activations.
2) Content purchased BEFORE 11/18/2011 will still have 5 system activations
3) It is now possible to deactivate systems remotely* from your PS3 via Qriocity. (frees up activation slots held by bricked PS3s)
4) PS+ works in a similar fashion, everything downloaded before the 18th can be downloaded 5x, anything after can only be downloaded twice.

*This can only be done once every 6 months.

-------------

Different How Tos and Tips for gamesharing

How to Host a Gameshare Group:

1) Create a dummy email account*

2) Create a dummy PSN account (Qriocity.com has the easiest interface)**

*It is recommended that the password of the email and the PSN account are different and recorded somewhere safe. That way, account stealing will be easier to prevent.

**It is highly recommended that you write down the date of birth you used in the creation of the account. It is crucial in retrieving passwords.

PRO TIP:
Currently, all purchases made on PSN are tax-free, so put any address you want.

3a) Add your CC to the dummy account and purchase the agreed upon game.

3b) Buy a PSN card from your local retailer and redeem it in the newly created account.

PRO TIP:
Receive all the payment first before buying the game. Though it might slow the process down, it will keep you safe.

4) REMOVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION

PRO TIP:
Don't even think about forgetting this step.

5) Share the game with your CAG buddies and enjoy the game!*

*Contact bastiartadi for more information on how to phantom share.

-------------

How to deactivate your PSN ID from your PS3:

1) Log-in your PS3 using the account you want to deactivate

2) To deactivate, go to Account Management -> System Activation -> PS3 System -> Games -> Deactivate

3) To delete your account from the PS3, go to Users on the far left side of the XMB and delete the user your PSN ID is attatched to.

NOTE:
Step 2 frees up one of the 2 (previously 5) possible shares on the PSN account.

Step 3 frees up one of the 16 maximum slots on your PS3.

-------------

Gamesharing 101

1) Never change the password for the account, so that the others could sell it when they do not need it anymore.

2) When sending payment (via PayPal I'm assuming), always type in your CAG username in the accompanying message.

3) You can only have a maximum of 16 user accounts in your PS3 and thus, only have a maximum of 15 game share accounts (15 plus your main account = 16). Deleting a user account will free up one of the 16 slots available for your PS3.

4) Games purchased on a game share account can be played on your main account. Great for trophy hunters.

5) Only 2 people can 'share' a PSN account (You and 1 other)

6) Always keep a text file of your username password so as you not forget them.

Derfel posted:

I believe there is some truth to all of these statements. If I recall correctly, the difference hinges on the size of the onboard NAND in your specific model. I believe the 256MB module contains the firmware and account information completely, so should work to transfer phantoms. If it's the 16MB module, you will have to reactivate any shares after the upgrade is complete.

I personally have a fat 60GB BC model and all shares transferred without reactivation when I upgraded the HDD.

Chart:

FAT NAND SIZE

CECHA = 256MB
CECHB = 256MB
CECHC = 256MB
CECHE = 256MB
CECHG = 256MB
CECHH = 16MB
CECHJ = 16MB
CECHK = 16MB
CECHL = 16MB
CECHM = 16MB
CECHP = 16MB
CECHQ = 16MB

SLIM NAND SIZE

CECH-20..A = 16MB
CECH-20..B = 16MB
CECH-21..A = 16MB
CECH-21..B = 16MB
CECH-250.A = 16MB
CECH-250.B = 16MB
CECH-250.A = 16MB
CECH-250.B = 16MB
CECH-251.A = 16MB
CECH-251.B = 16MB

Was going to post in the old thread before I realized a new one was made. Carried over from the old one.

It will be big but 60 gb big I doubt it.

My guess is it will be like Mass Effect 3 size and probably at 16-18 gb total. There was a 10 gb install on the retail disc last year.

I'm not going to say where the info is, but it is available to those who look for it. Past releases of MLB The Show have been at or above 20gb and there is info leading me to believe it will be around 24gb.

60gb no, what I mean is if the download is between 20-30gb, you should have at least 60gb free in case the size does get near 30gb. I don't think it will be that large, but want to be prepared for the worst. You need enough space to download the game and then that same space again to install it too.

OK, so once again we need another phantom. Others had to drop due to space concerns.

Please keep in mind this will be most likely a big game, 20gb+. So plan for a Ni No Kuni scenario perhaps if you are planning to join.

Keep in mind you will need double the space of the download size to install the game. So if its a 22gb download you will need 44gb of space to download and install. Not that the game will be this size, it could be more or it could be less. Just be aware it could possibly be large.

MLB 13

OK-

You all have convinced me - I am buying a 500gb HDD for my PS3 and upgrading it this weekend - in the long run its going to save me so much money, it has to be worth it - I can probably trade in half of my disc games and get digital copies too to save even more.

Because of this, I am going to lose the follow phantoms:
1) Borderlands 2 PLUS DLC content/preorder bonus, etc
2) Black Ops 2 and 1st DLC (though I guess I will just buy a season pass with the new HDD)
3) The Walking Dead (all 5 episodes) though I guess I can finish that before changing HDD and just be done with it.

So, with that said - does anyone have resells or phantoms of the above games and DLC? I guess phantoms are fine since I will be putting them on a huge HDD and not have to worry about deleting for space for a long time.

Please send me a PM/let me know.

One last thing. Is this: http://www.amazon.co...T/dp/B001JSSDGU
the hard drive people have been buying to upgrade? I assume its easy to do?

Any good sites to teach me how to transfer all data to the new HDD and not lose everything when I do it?

Wait until Newegg has a good price on the HDD.

Also I'm liking the selection of the Vita games, going to pick a few up depending on the price on some of the games.
