…Yeah, I seldom go for the platinums…I even hate starting a new game to get an easy bronze I missed. Too time consuming as I also regularly play my other systems alot (some good stuff on Wii now)

Kudos to all those people who do have 10+ platinums! I'll probably get another when one is as easy as burnout again…kinda unlikely.

Sounds like a good idea. Having a bunch of random teammates is seldom good. Sign me up

A long time ago when I was playing Gears 1 on xbox there was a guy named “thatFNguy” which was an awesome name. Every time he got a kill everyone would be like “Aw F$%k it's that effin guy again”…which made the game so much better as everyone was getting a laugh and not whining like they normally do in that game….

Oh yeah! Also there was a dude named “PeterNorth” when I was playing Halo 3. Which was the coolest/worst thing ever when you get ran over by a vehicle and it said “barkie_m got splattered by PeterNorth”…….now THAT was one FN guy! Yuk

I think he's refering to his actual PS3 logging in with his account and game purchases and stuff

What do you buy with the PSN card? Yes that's right – Games and DLC that you'll have to pay tax for. So it wouldn't really be a fair deal if you had to pay tax on both right?

Careful with that logic! 

I used to work for a call center taking calls for an american cell phone provider. They did charge tax on the cards at the store and then you still paid the tax on your bill. When customers called to complain about being double taxed, we basically had to tell them to eat it. 

It might just be the US but don't always expect refill cards to be tax free.

Heres a little Food for thought

I think game sharing is actually GOOD for sony. Last year when I didnt know sharing was possible I was really picky about what games to buy and just bought a few here and there. Now me and my friend kris have bought almost every game off of PSN as it feels like you're getting everything 50% off by sharing. I added up my transaction history alone and I've spent about $400 so far on DLC.

Would either of us have EVER bought rag doll kung fu for $10 if we had to buy a copy each? ABSOLOUTELY NOT! It literally came down to “I'll buy that and you get ZEN Pinball” (another game we wouldnt have bought).

So for us the sharing has been very profitable for sony. And if you're totally against game sharing, go buy a 360. I bought castle crashers on that and if I sign into my profile and kris signs into his it WILL NOT LET US PLAY THE GAME! It says kris didnt buy it so we cant play, he can sign in as a guest to make sure he dosent get the achievements! Imagine if you have two kids who collect achievements and you have to buy two copies of the same game so they can play together…thats weak!! Anyways, I'm getting kinda off topic too…in short some people are surely abusing the sharing and other people may be driving alot of sales with it…if sony feels they're getting ripped off they'll surely block it from now on.
