Post: Question Regarding Gamesharing
12-12-2012, 02:54 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I recently bought Borderlands 2 for PS3, still coming in the mail, and my friend offered to let me gameshare his season pass, so I did, what I did was created a new user on my PS3, then signed in PSN using his existing account, I then go into PSN store, download list, and downloaded his season pass. I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong because the season pass doesn't show up in my account and still asks me to pay for season pass or its DLCs. Long story short, I was wondering I gameshared correctly. Is it because I have not yet played the game?

P.S. I know I require 100 post to gameshare on this site, I am in no way looking for someone to gameshare with. Also, I am new to this forum please tell me if I am posting in the wrong sections, thank you.

Nope you did it all correctly and it would not show up in your account because you never purchased it lol.

It will be installed on to the ps3 and can be used by all the users that are currently on it and who ever else creates one.

Now when you created a new account and downloaded the season pass did you leave that account on the console because it as to remain on there for you to be able to use it.

So basically it should have YOUR account and YOUR FRIENDS account on the ps3 now. You must keep there account on your consoles or you will lose the pass.

Also i could not help notice this part of your question.

If it is coming in the mail still how do you no it has not worked? I have game shared with a few people my BF3 pass and it has always worked no problems asked.

Hope this clears it up for you.

Okay, from what I understand right now is that I did it right and it works. But what I don't get is how do I download the DLC if it asks me to pay? Also, thats the reason I posted on here, to find out if it works because the game is in coming in the mail. Thanks.

Well it has been done correctly so thats a bonus.

For the DLC you have to download all of them off your friends account because that is the account it was originally purchased on and also check there download list to make sure it is there otherwise it may try and get you to buy them again.

Just remember to download them all of there account and keep it saved.

If it is not downloading or asking you to purchase it that is kinda weird.

Does that mean he cant share those individual DLC with anyone else anymore because its limited to 2 PS3 right?

Yes that is correct they will not be able to now anyways as you have already activated the second game share slot on your PS3.

They can stop you using it in 6 months time if they want because they can reset all the systems after 6 months. Or they can ask you to deactivate there account off your PS3.

But apart from that no one else can use it (although if someone does try they may get lucky i have tried with some of my game shares and people have been able to grab and activate some things if they where quick enough to download things Smile )

The question is, if you download it from his account and then delete the account off your PS3 it wont work. You have to keep his account on your console for the DLC to remain activated. If youve done all that theres no reason why it should be asking you to pay as it sounds like youve done it all correctly.
