Gamesharing Restricted

I figured as much. I mean, the websites reporting it, before actually reading IT on those sites, I had never heard of before, and it wasn't posted on any “credible” sites, so it did seem as though something was up.

Glad it wasn't confirmed by Sony

I was going to say.. if those people that have already shared with 5 systems, what if our HDD crashes? Then we can't get our games that we have purchased? Kinda stupid.

Honestly, i really don't care about gamesharing. If you want to do it, go ahead, you paid for the game, you can do what you will with it. If you don't like it, then do it.  

you mean, if you don't like it, don't do it?

On the XMB. Go to Account Management -> System activation -> Game -> Deactivate. 

Which ever profile you are logged into to at that moment, will be deactivated. 

oh ok thanks

I did that once and the themes got reseted to gray original on all accounts. Is that normal?

umm.. maybe, since you do have download themes from the store. I think it pretty much deactivates everything you have downloaded off the store. Maybe it doesn't, not 100% sure on that.

Right so can any1 confirm whether the number of activiations has changed, i live in the UK if that makes any difference.

I cant seem to open the link BigWoopMagazine posted, but ty anyway m8.

That link is to a page that says the number never changed, and therefore is currently at 5.  Region does not make a difference in this case.

gamesharing is NOT restricted at all.. read the other topic regarding it. the account activation and deactivation has nothing to do with gamesharing whatsoever. it simply activates the system to be able to download videos and or games. example: u dont want ur kids downloadin videos or games on ur console… so what do u do rite…. u deactivate vid or game. its that easy. hope i could help.

Ummm, you need to activate the account on your system to gameshare, so yes, account activation has everything to do with gamesharing…
