(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A lot of people are game sharing the MW2 map pack, so i thought of making a guide on what Game Sharing really is.

Game Sharing is when you download something from the Playstation Store, you can share with 5 ps3s.

Rules of Game Sharing

1. You can only Game Share with 5 ps3s, not "Users". Every time you buy something, it activates on your ps3.

2. You can deactivate content from a ps3 by signing in with the Ps3 ID with the content, going to Account Management, System activation, and deactivate.

3. Once you share with 5 ps3s and your ps3 breaks, your out of luck. Only way of getting the content back is asking one of your friends to deactivate the content you gave him. So always keep an extra slot for yourself.

4. Before bringing you ps3 for repairs, always deactivate any content from your ps3. So if you get a new ps3, you can put the content back into it without wasting a slot.

5. Only do it with your real friends, you know someone you actually see in person on a regular basis and trust. This way if they scam you, you'll be able to beat the hell out of them

6. If Rule #5 is not an option, Pay for the game or map packs. Dont be a cheap skate


Here is a guide i found for anyone new to Game Sharing

For the "sender":

1. Purchase and download a game from the Playstation Store
2. Go to account management for the account and delete the billing information from your personal information if the PS3 saved your credit card info
3. Change your password temporarily for the share
4. Give login info (email address and password) to the receiver
5. When the share is completed, change the password

For the "receiver":

1. In the PS3 XMB menu, add a new user account on your PS3 and sign in to it
2. Select the network on the XMB and create an existing Playstation Network account
3. Use the login information given from the "sender" to create the existing account
4. Login into the account
5. Enter into the Playstation store
6. Click on "Download List" on the upper right near the person's userID and select the game you wish to download and hit download
7. After game is downloaded, notify the "sender" that the download is complete so they can change the password to the account

Hope this helps!

Oh, GrillaX nice thread, +rep for you

Question, if i delete the persons account of my PS3 after the gameshare has been completed, will i still have the stuff i downloaded?

No, I learnt the hard way

Dang it! Oh well, thanks for the reply.

No never delete the account, the copyright shit is registered to it. So it has to be on your system for the game to work.
