PlayStation Home Manager Issues a Warning to Members

It appears Sony is cracking down on those who are sharing their PSN identification and password to grant select items in PlayStation Home.

PSN game sharing is also labeled as violating the ToS later in the PS Forum thread.

Community Manager CydoniaX stated the following:

home actually has members O=
i thought everyone would be bored of it by now lol xP
kidding lol

[Karum]

It's a social network. Social networks are pretty much a phenomenon right now so it'd be more surprising if it didn't have members.

I don't use Home much at all but can understand why others would love it.

[Chubear]

Yes, over 6 million members. You just keep hating and laughing while others just keep having their fun and enjoying themselves.

[Hellsvacancy]

Unless i fancy a game of chess(which aint often) but i can appreciate it 4 wot it is

[y0haN]

I play checkers and the red bull game from time to time, but not often.

"PSN game sharing is also labeled as violating the ToS later in the PS Forum thread (linked above)"

Absolutely false if you keep reading the thread.

"[...]This is a consistent reminder about best practices for protecting the security of your PSN account.

I am referring to specific actions taken by specific individuals recently that involve granting items to people by using their account info. I am not talking about gamesharing.

Hope that clears it up a bit.

Edit: I don't want to be too harsh, but there it is.

please take ur stupid comment to the other tab please.

[Karum]

I think you mean comment 1 and not 1.1

If you do mean 1.1 then I don't really know what to say lol.

[JonnyBigBoss]

It's not for everyone, but people who like Second Life, The Sims or There love it. Quit hating on it just because it isn't for you, you selfish guy.

[RememberThe357]

I do it to check out what has changed. Last time I got on I got free Infamous clothing, so that was pretty sweet. But generally I'm bored as hell in Home so I don't go on much.

[Dark_Overlord]

It sounds like they're trying to crack down on people scamming others details, and not on the actual item sharing

[KillerPwned]

Its a complete ban for life yeah you can make another account depending on how much you shared. My friend did it alot and his hole console got bricked by sony wasent able to go online anymore at all.

[TheTruth89]

Let me clear up some misconceptions. The Message of the Day they have in the UK is I believe part of their everyday message, reminding people that giving out your account information is never a good idea. This is a consistent reminder about best practices for protecting the security of your PSN account.

I am referring to specific actions taken by specific individuals recently that involve granting items to people by using their account info. I am not talking about gamesharing.

Hope that clears it up a bit.

This is what sega32x wrote in the news.

@Karum
Are you refer to yourself?

Yes.

[Theoneneo81]

lol the flamebait going on in the gamerzone love it :)

[themyk]

me and my friends share all of our psn games. we always have. i've probably bought 5 or 6. and i have 27. (thanks guys).

thats all i have to say about that.

[himdeel]

...accept Warhawk. It has the 24 hour lock out :|

[BLuKhaos]

yeah it's pretty good when each friend chips in for a game.

[Dellis]

They should be quiet, if people want to share things they own then that is their right.

Home is soo stupid now, they are selling stupid things for money, Home is a money place now, nothing inside there is about gaming.

[Spike47]

None of my PSN friends go on Home, yet the people I meet in Home don't play games a lot.

Either way, it is a free service that improves and expands every week and one day it will actually be able to bring the hardcore gamers in and scare away the casual idiots who spam Home trying to find GFs.

[chisox100]

I have shared Killzone and COD map packs with my cousin so would that be against the rules?

[TheTruth89]

Hell NO!

The gay that posted the news can't even read a forum post.

The real news it's regard people inside Home that ask to people ID e and PSW claiming to be part of Sony Staff.

NOTHING AGAINST GAME SHARING.
