Hey, hey! My Siren/1942 group!
FukFallingDamage
Megasabin
Vegastar
Radnor

Everyone's paid up. I will be getting the games in a couple hours and I'll send you all login info.

Anyone of you interested in maybe going for another 5-man purchase of PJ Eden next thursday?

I also have a quick sharing question. So I'm the main person in this group for Siren/1942. I created a new master account which I'm going to use solely for these two games, so now I have two master accounts: my own, and the Siren-share one. So once the other 4 people get to my account, I've used my 5 slots already. Does that mean I can only share with these 4 people on ALL of my accounts, or will the account activation slot thingys only apply to that one master account?

Good and downloading. Thank you, sir mastermind. You'll hear from me next week for Eden, because I am totally down for that mindfuck of a game.

Awesome! Make sure after you start the downloading that you switch back to another user name so the other 3 can get to the games.

Also nice to see this thread taking off. I didn't think it would; didn't the last one kinda peter out quickly?

Question for the guys who've shared Siren or other stuff. If at some point you have to delete a game or an episode to free up some space, do you have to get the master account password again or can you download it from the PSN?

You would need to log in to the master account again to re-download whatever you had deleted from it, so you would need the information from whoever has it.

enojy posted:

just noticed something about siren. if you select the "delete episode" option from the episode selection screen, the following text shows up--

"This action will delete the selected episode (save data will not be deleted). You can re-download the episode any number of times. For details, press (triangle.)"

any number of times, eh? perhaps this means there's no 5-download limit? anyone feeling risky and want to give it a shot?

edit: just read back a few pages and learned more about the sharing system -- apparently the five systems the game sharing account is tied to will permit unlimited downloads for these five people/systems only?

You can re-download the game/episodes as many times as you want, but I'm pretty sure you need to be logged into the account that originally purchased the game.

As a side note, I have 4 shares on my main account and I'm curious to see if anyone has something of interest and would like to share.

I have Everyday Shooter, SSHD and the Solo expansion, PJ Monsters and the expansion, and Castlevania SotN

I'm actually just looking for the co-op SSHD expansion, so anything else is a bonus.

Yep, once it's authorized for your system, you can redownload it on that system as much as you want. (And obviously it can be authorized on 5 systems.) I've seen references to deauthorizing a system, but I'm not sure how that is done. Maybe just by deleting the user account from it?

De-authorizing actually requires you to go into the Account Management section. I just did it for someone else I had a share with, and if I remember right, you go into "Activate Account" and you then click "deactivate account." Or something along those lines.

Deleting the user name isn't enough.

So are any of you guys in my group up for also going in on Eden, and possibly Bionic Commando when it comes out?

Otherwise I'm just getting them both on my own on my main account :colbert:

Edit: Also, I had a question about SSHD. I have the game and solo pack. Is it possible to use the co-op expansion through a share? Or does everything have to be on the same account?

Cool, so far we have 4/5 people in my old Siren group up for Eden and possibly BC. Paging FukFallingDamage.

Also, can someone PLEASE share the SSHD co-op expansion pack with me? Please? :unsmith: I have PJ Monsters + Expansion, SSHD + Solo Expansion, Castlevania: SotN and Everyday Shooter. It's not much, but I'd love the co-op expansion but i don't have many people to co-op with so it's not worth the purchase to me.

So I'm curious if there would be any takers for a Ratchet:QfB and The Last Guy group. Could be a long-term group if the members wanted, but doesn't have to be. I'll set up the master account and all that fun stuff.

Otherwise, any willing to share one of those two games with me? I've got All 3 Warhawk expansions, PJ Monters and Encore, SSHD and the solo expansion, a couple GH3 DLC packs, Castlevania SotN and Bionic Commando to share back with you.

So far, we have our group of 5:
Me
Kemian
Eze
Ape Agitater
Denim Demon

We're in for R&C:QfB and The Last Guy. Now are we going to do something with future purchases? Maybe something like Wipeout or Fat princess? For now it's just for the two games, but if we're all on board I'd be cool with making this a more long-term group.

Edit: Denim Demon and Eze, you guys don't have PMing available. Any other way to contact you two about costs and such?

Nail Rat posted:

I'm not a fan of game sharing in general(I think it's why XBLA keeps getting a lot more games even though Microsoft keeps cutting developer royalties), but I think it is a little different, as this isn't a little game that cost only $100,000 to make. They had as many people working on this as work on a lot of $60 games, and they're charging only $20 for it. That's a pretty nice deal in what is probably an attempt to rekindle interest in the series...but still a great deal for a game that'll probably be a more fulfilling experience than Motorstorm was at a third of the price.

I completely see your point, and I'm not arguing that anyone saying "don't share" is wrong. But, I wouldn't be getting the game otherwise and I'm sure I'm not alone. Games I really wanted I bought at full price, including the PJM games, Bionic Commando and Warhawk and its 3 expansions. It's not a money issue, I just don't feel my $20 should go towards a game that I'm not sure of, and there happens to be an interest in going in with a few people to get it for less.

I understand what you guys are arguing and I think devs should be supported, but I think we need to agree to disagree. If Sony really wanted to let more profit in, they could've disabled sharing like GT5:P and Warhawk's main game. It's been done before and it could've been done now; it hasn't, and there is at least some interest in a share.

I'll gladly take this to PMs if anyone wants to discuss it outside of the thread. And if you don't like sharing, then simply don't participate in it, but Sony has allowed it as an option, so I see nothing wrong with it.

So I'm reading that there's an activation code or something that is downloaded along with Wipeout HD. Looks like it might not be easily shareable, for those involved in Wipeout shares.

Just a heads up, I could be wrong.

Edit: If it turns out Wipeout isn't shareable, I will gladly refund the cash to all the guys in my Wipeout group.

And all you other people can now gloat at the fact that I'm probably paying $20 for a game I wasn't sure on. It better be good.
