PSN Sharing Reduced to 3 Accounts


Recommended Posts

In-game items or content that you have purchased may be downloaded from PlayStation®Store. Pursuant to the particular terms of use that govern a specific in-game item or content you have purchased, you may use that item or content on up to three (3) different PlayStation®3 systems that have been activated for your account. You may deactivate or activate specific PlayStation®3 systems, as long as the maximum activated number of PlayStation®3 systems for your account at any given time is three (3).

 

* The first category, called Network Content, can only be accessed by one activated PlayStation®3 system per day and only by the account through which the Network Content was purchased. Network Content cannot be used on two different PlayStation®3 systems within a twenty-four (24) hour period.

 

* The second category, called Local Content, once installed on a PlayStation®3 system by the account that purchased it, can be accessed by other accounts on that same PlayStation®3 system.

This means that, if a game is purchased, it can only be downloaded once every 24h, meaning games can't be shared immediately.

These are the UK store T&C,I am not sure if this applies to the US or other PSN Stores.

well honestly makes more sense as a corporate, hoe many people will actually have 5 PS3's at home.

 

And i am sure they came to iVG sometime and decided to take this decision :threatenlumber:

They should enable a licence transfer system like XBL - that's a good system. It doesn't put a limitation on the number of systems you can put your content on - just that you can access the content on only one console (irrespective of GT) or on any console (using one GT).

I would still prefer PSN system of sharing games on different consoles, as that way I can split cost and keep the game forever...

+1 and also you can always activate and deactivate a console...

Sharing of games across people is not the reason PSN implemented allowing multiple ids - they did it to allow people who change versions and devices to keep their content, similar to Apple / MS / ebook readers. Sharing is the unintended loophole which PSN is trying to fix.

holy crap we have 60 pounds on my uk sharing team time to spend them asap.

 

Users with >3 systems activated should be safe, however if one system is deactivated, it can no longer be activated again.

 

So our teams are safe just dont deactivate the system guys :|

^^ and my team just added funds to our acc. :rofl:

 

btw, if this might apply to new game purchases, then, do u think we can just decide who all need the game and download the game ? coz, all 5 of the ppl in a team rarely want the same game

. Sharing is the unintended loophole which PSN is trying to fix.

 

reducing sharing from 5 to 3, in that sense makes sense. If they were to reduce it just one, the cost would them become a bottleneck for most, thus leading to lower revenues.

with a sharing amongst three, they can take care of both, genuine system migrations and continued sales.

 

Good move by Sony. Though not for all the IVG teams :rofl:

as the OP says, thats a UK PSN rule, does it apply to US PSN too?
