This is a lovely little perk of owning a PS3 - just did a Siren + 1942 share with Yodzilla and some others. The best way to go about it seems to be creating a unique login for a particular group-share, and then paypalling money to the (trustworthy) buyer, who then makes the transaction, removes his billing details from the account, and distributes the login to the rest of the group. You then just log into this download account, start the download, and you can immediately switch back to your main PSN account and never have to switch back unless you want to redownload that particular game.

BookaT posted:EDIT: I'm looking into sharing 1942, but I could care less for Siren. I don't know what Siren is PS3 remake (with a lot of changes) of the classic PS2 horror game. Full $40, 9gb game.

One little detail of note: Only one person can be logged into a single account at any given time, so in a five-man share, try not to hog the login. Log in, start your downloads and queue them as quickly as possible, then log back into your own account and let someone else have their turn. I've currently got my big 1942 + Siren download going. Doubt I'll have more than episode 2 or 3 of Siren by today, as my line is painfully slow. Should have most of it by tomorrow morning though. And again, thanks to Yodzilla and the Siren Share Prototype Crew.

A request. Anyone willing to split the price on Fatal Inertia EX and Tekken 5: DR? Alternatively, anyone already WITH either/both of those games willing to share them for cheap/free, if you've got fewer than five people already with them? They both look pretty neat, but not full-price neat. I hear they're fully shareable, like Siren. For a swap, I don't have much to share.. Super Stardust + Expansions, Pixeljunk Monsters (Vanilla) and Pain (Vanilla)

Harlock posted:There's a $20 version, which is just the basic singleplayer game, and a $30 version which included online play. If you had bought one before the other, it only cost another $10 to upgrade I believe. So if you buy it from the start, might as well buy the upgraded version. Is the full version shareable? Because I'd certainly be up for that. $30 shared between 3-5 people is dirt cheap.

Sending the money now - just send the login info to the paypal email you recieve, once you've bought the game of course. Probably best to do it the 'Make a special sharing account that everyone can keep the password to permanently' way. Thanks loads.

Aardark posted:Perhaps our Siren group would also be interested in getting Eden? That means: I'd be in for that 110% - anything else coming out around that time? There's Bionic Commando: Rearmed due soon as well (next week?), which looks nothing short of fantastic. It'd certainly help if we used the same account - means we don't each have to use up another of the 16 current profile slots you get per PS3. I checked, and yes, you can have a maximum of 16 profiles active.

Just did a little digging around, and while it's not 100% confirmed yet, it looks like Bionic Commando WILL be launching on the same day as Eden. Adding those two games to the Siren + 1942 group share would be fantastic. Edit: Ah, nevermind - 31st July in Japan. A few weeks later for the US version. Hahah - the Japanese trailer for the game is awesome. 80s super-robot theme song!

Something like Elefunk or PixelJunk Racers or High Velocity Bowling or Super Puzzle Fighter? I've already got Elefunk, and I'm not too interested in the others. Guess we're waiting on finding out what the other three want, if anything. Is there a proper release schedule for this stuff anywhere online?

If you are ever lost in the game, hit select to bring up the area map. It's very helpful if you have no sense of direction (like me).

The way I figure, a 5-way share on a $10 game means I get it for $2, or about £1. £1 is how much a single credit costs on an arcade game nowadays, and I'll get 10-15 minutes play out of that if I'm lucky. So long as I get more than 15 minutes fun out of a shared game, it's good value in my book.

Are Warhawk expansions region-free? If so, I'm in. I've got the first two, but even a 1/5th share of the all-in-one pack would be cheaper than buying the third by itself. I've got the UK version of the game, though, which might exclude me. Edit: Just looked it up. previous expansions have been region-locked, So I guess I'm just in for The Last Guy today. Sorry about that. I'll be sending my money in a min. Dominic White fucked around with this message at 14:59 on Aug 28, 2008 |

Harminoff posted:Is Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty sharable? I am trying to find a game that my daughter and I can play together, and this looks good for that. Also, is this a fine game to play without playing any of the others? How long is it? Yes, it's shareable - we'd be better off having a list of what isn't shareable, as that'd only be like 4-5 games. It's a standalone expansion to R&C: Tools of Destruction, so you might want to get that first. That's all you should really need, although the earlier (PS2) games are still good fun. It's short - like, 4-hours short. ToD is waaay longer.

PSN has no region-locking, beyond the vague irritation of having to buy that regions point-cards to buy things, normally. We're in the HD era. PAL and NTSC are dead. 720p is the same worldwide.
