Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I have a question about 'sharing' downloaded games. I know that a while back I was told that with most PSN games they could be downloaded up to five times each. So multiple people could download the game onto their PS3's as long as they used the same account to download it to their PS3. Once it was downloaded they could log back into their normal account.
I've never tried this because I honestly don't trust other people with my account information. But my wife and I both have our own PS3's. Is it possible to go onto her PS3 and log on with my PSN name and then download my games onto her PS3?

yeah, you can do that. Just create your account on her PS3 and download the stuff from the store with your ID. Then you will be able to play the game on her PS3 with either your or her account. You just have to keep your account on the PS3 as a sub-account. You will probably want to set the auto-login to your wife's account on the PS3 because if you have more than one account on a PS3, it asks you which to log into when you fire up the PS3 every time unless you set one to auto-login (triangle on the username on the leftmost menu and set auto-login).

you can also go to the game on the xmb click triagnle and under that should give you the option of copy, then it will let you choose another name on your ps3 to copy it to so you dont have to do that long walk around

Nice

Sony is giving PlayStation 3 owners a surprise gift today. Firmware 2.60 will be dropping imminently and will bring with it several new features. The photo gallery is a new installable feature which gives you a large variety of ways of sorting and displaying your photos. You can see more of that in the video above.

DivX 3.11 is also now supported by PS3s, as well as guest access to the PlayStation Store. This means that whether you've signed up or not you can now browse the PlayStation Store and see all the cool stuff you're missing out on. No doubt there'll be some further, secret features included in 2.60. If you find anything else be sure to let us know. We'll update as soon as the new firmware goes live.

My friend did that for SOCOM from my account to his, and after he installed it on his PS3, it now says he has to be on my account to play it. Is there any way to work around that?

Yup, which is why I wish I would've bought RB, RB2 and GH for the PS3. I can't even begin to tell you how much money I've spent on DLC songs on the 360.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I'm looking for some good PSn download games. I have $27 in my PSwallet. I was going to buy Tekken: DR, but I just noticed I have that for my PSP. No need to have it for PS3 too. So what games are worth it?

Well, if you like fighting games (and with Tekken DR I'd assume that's the case) Super Street Fighter II HD Remix is a virtual no-brainer.
