yea i knew sony would fvk that up sooner or later.

lodossrage5853d ago

I too felt that it was a matter of time before they started eliminating that multiple psn game sharing.

jadenkorri5853d ago

i shared , my psn games that i dled and bought, i gave copies to my roomate and even a cpl to my friends, but he gave me what i didn't have, granted if i formatted i would lose them but i don't have to do that....i haven't been banned...yet..(goes and loggs onto his psn)....someone want to explain exactly what sony will/would ban you for....

znu5852d ago (Edited 5852d ago )

no

you wont get banned for sure

they point of the download 5 times is so that u can download it again if u format or ur ps3 screws up on you. I had a really bad incident while back and let me just say that im on my fourth ps3 and have downloaded everything back. They won't say anything.

Sony is understanding

FourtyPoundSteak5852d ago

why the hell are u on ur 4th PS3?? wth are u doing to it?

znu5852d ago

should've explained

first one just screwed up on me(collected dust while i was gone for summer leading to yellow blinking lights)

next two were sent back defective(not working properly) and personally i don't know whether it was sony or delivering company

i was very pissed but then the sony consumer report guy assured me that the chances of happening again are very slim. took his word and bam, playing my new awesome ps3

well... it is stealing...unless of course they are your ps3s and you're the one that plays them.

sonarus5853d ago

lol actually not its not. I actually remember an article where sony encouraged it.

LeonSKennedy4Life5853d ago

Encouraged or not...

It's still illegal.

CrazzyMan5853d ago (Edited 5853d ago )

stupid americans..
soon you will have to buy same song for every family member, same movie for every family member since everyone must have it`s own copy - this is soo stupid.

buy same song for pc, buy same song for mp3, buy same song for mobile - why not just copy on mp3? because sharing - stealing.

p.s. oh wait, that guy below already bought 4 ps3 and going to buy one more, cool! Now buying 5!!! copies of SAME psn game for every ps3 is the best way to spend your money! This is soo cool! Not.

sonarus5853d ago

Well just in case anyone is still wondering, i did a quick search and this popped up. I remember the sharing article encouraging sharing popped up sometime when warhawk was released because it was the first game where sharing was diabled. http://www.psxextreme.com/p...

As you can see in the article, it clearly say: "You can send that content to four other friends for that initial investment,"

That is coming straight from Jack Trenton. All i know is i have done it and sony said its ok so i won't be losing any sleep over it:D

Richdad5853d ago

It is stealing they cant let it get away.

DomUltra5852d ago

They said you can send it to your friend as a TRAIL period, not actually them investing in a free copy brother.

Breakfast5853d ago

How bout one for me. So i can repackage it, and sell it to you. So you can give one to your wife!

ElementX5853d ago (Edited 5853d ago )

I can find better ways to spend $1700+ You don't have 4, you own 1. The rest were gifts to others.

Denzelio5853d ago

@ the greatest

Let Sony know that, they'll give you an exception :)

How many 360 owners can say they gave 360's to others, they'll be to busy replacing their own.

the greatest5853d ago

@ElementX
i have $$$$$$$$
i also have a wii and 360 Collecting Dust

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 22h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 13h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow23h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney18h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 17h ago
fsfsxii1d 19h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 17h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
