u dont "just" share DLC, u share the whole PSN account and its download history

once u hit the limit of 5, can start another sharing account

top up entropay, then top up the PSN account, then go delete the credit card details. should be safe for entropay account owner and the 4 other sharers.

thanks to doks for sharing.

the process to de-activate is also quite easy. just ask the original owner for the p/word again, login, go to Acc. Management and choose "Deactivate account" - then can delete the user if no longer needed.

almost like "renting" PSN games from fellow LYNers

haha, ofcos after de-activate the game is no longer playable.

its just that earlier posts mentioned about "sharing" problems, so for the original account owner it is best they understand the activate and deactivate process.

yes, if u can find gamers with similar "taste" then it is easier to share.

for example 5 music game fans can just share RB DLC with 1 acc. 5 action/racing fans can share action/racing games and so on.

i don't think any LYN forumer abused the DLC, they just misunderstood the activate/de-activate process (5 PS3 per account).

if u create a new user and recovered the account it will auto-count as 1 activation. even if u delete the user, the activation is still counted. the only way is to ask the original account holder for the p/w again to login and de-activate it properly.

want to start playing LBP for CNY.

sharing LBP Asian Add-ons/DLC only using SGP acc. i'm hoping to buy & share more costumes in the future (Kratos, SFII, FF, etc).

have 0 empty slots at this moment:

Add-ons (bought so far)
Animal Costume Pack 4.29
Resistance Chimera Costume 2.9
MGS4 Costumes 8.49
MGS4 DLC/Add-on pack 8.49

so price to share is 2.5( exchange rate) * 0.2(i'll find 4 other sharers) is RM12, for now

interested? pls PM

i think i'll write some mini-FAQ regarding activations and the PSN DRM system (it is quite confusing)



*this apply to most PSN games and Add-ons
(some exceptions are Warhawk, GT5P, SOCOM, Singstar songs, etc. bro Rezuan78 explained abt SOCOM's DRM earlier)


1. every PSN account has a maximum of 5 activations (this will not be listed down anywhere for the end-user) the PSN servers will actually "record" the number of activations in their database.

2. everytime you try to recover the account on an unique PS3, it will try to auto-activate. if it reaches a maximum of 5, it will display an error message

3. you can activate and de-activate your PS3 system via Account Management. after de-activation, the games "owned" by that account on that system will not work unless it is activated again

4. if u just delete the account/the User/the games off the HDD without 1st doing the de-activate process, the account is still activated on the PS3!

5. after de-activation, the account will still have a maximum maximum of 5 activations (e.g. 5 activated PS3 + 1 de-activated PS3 later on = 4 activations with 1 empty slot)

6. whether someone downloads 1 item or every item from the account download history, it will always be considered as 1 activation (slot).

e.g. gamer A shared his accountA with gamers B, C, D and E for some items.
gamer A can not then share future items with gamer F even if B, C, D, E never login to accountA anymore.
the only way to regain any slot is to ask any of B, C, D, E to de-activate on their end.

*that means the most efficient method of sharing PSN purchases is to buy in a group of 5 and stick within that group.



7. currently, a PS3 can have a maximum of 16 USERs



NOTE: the way to "own" an account is to always remember the DOB and the secret Q/A you used when registering the account. as long as you remember these 2 answers, you can change the password at any time.

apalah, what a way to celeb CNY

Asian Stores closing access to CC. i think (from yesterday/today onwards) they are trying to MATCH the address. if the address not match means kenot work, like US PSN stores

yeah, they close the loophole already

not sure, if their system is under maitenance or upgrading something but so far that neogaf poster + panda + i've tried (for today)

NOT VERIFIED!

ofcos it is possible their system under maintenance or something (holiday down-time?)

will try again in a couple of days.

^i try maybank visa still kenot. what bank/type CC did lopak used? what address he used?

i think they start blocking very recently. on JAN 22nd night time, i manage to top-up just fine.

u are very lucky indeed. i tried maybank visa with my real postal address replaced with a valid 6 digit SGP postcode, but it is not working

so, your case confirms [rhb travel money mastercard] can work if the address is similar (replaced with SGP postcode)

anyone else having any success using their MY CC to top-up on SGP PSN store? please share the details. LBP kratos/GoW pack coming this Thurs

^may i know what CC u used? what ADDRESS entry did u enter?

my maybank VISA's been blocked

i replace my POSTCODE to a SGP/HK one but still kenot work. dunno y some CC can work but some can't!?
