PSN Game Sharing Instructions
This tutorial will tell you how to share PSN games with other people, bought or free (I think this
works with HOME).
For the "sender":
1. Purchase and download a game from the Playstation Store
2. Go to account management for the account and delete the billing information from your personal
information if the PS3 saved your credit card info
3. Change your password temporarily for the share
4. Give login info (email address and password) to the receiver
5. When the share is completed, change the password
For the "receiver":
1. In the PS3 XMB menu, add a new user account on your PS3 and sign in to it
2. Select the network on the XMB and create an existing Playstation Network account
3. Use the login information given from the "sender" to create the existing account
4. Login into the account
5. Enter into the Playstation store
6. Click on "Download List" on the upper right near the person's userID and select the game you
wish to download and hit download
7. After game is downloaded, notify the "sender" that the download is complete so they can change
the password to the account
8. Enjoy!
Q/A:
Q: Should I worry about misuse for my account?
A: If you taken the steps to delete your credit card/billing information and changed your password
temporarily, it should be safe. If you're paranoid about someone stealing your account, only share with
people that you really, really trust!
Q: Can't I just make a sub-account and use that to share the games?
A: Not sure if this is allowed, but someone could try and report the results
Q: I just received the game from the sender and the game won't play, help!
