click down below and PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CLICK THAT LITTLE HEART ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT

AND PLEASE REPLY TO THIS TOPIC IF IT WORKS FOR YOU SO OTHERS WILL ALSO COME TO KNOW THAT IT WORKS

So let’s get into it!

NOTE: Make sure that you follow the steps very carefully, if you mess up you won’t be able to do this for another 6 months!

Step 1. Deactivate your PS3 from the account you want to game share (make sure NO ONE is activated on the account you want to give your friends)

Step 2. Give the account info to two of your friends and let them download whatever they want and tell them to download the games in the background

NOTE: Make sure they DO NOT save the password on their PS3, I will explain why later.

Step 3. Once they have begun downloading all their games in the background ask them to sign out of your PSN account, and make sure that the password to the PSN account you shared with them is NOT saved on their PS3. Then ask them to sign into their own PSN accounts. (The games should still be downloading on their PS3s even though they are not signed into your account)

Step 4. Once they both have signed out of your PSN account, tell them to NEVER sign into the PSN account you gave them, and that if they do, all the games that they are downloading or have finished downloading will automatically deactivate and won’t start. (That is why if they do not save the password, even if they accidentally log into your account, it won’t sign them in because the password was never saved, therefore, their games will still be activated on their PS3s)

Step 5. After that is done you need to go onto the following site and sign into the PSN account that your friends game shared off of: https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/

Step 6. Once you log in, you will need to click on the following:

Account > Media and Devices

Click on "Deactivate All"

NOTE: Before you click "Yes" make sure that your friends have downloaded everything they want and that they DO NOT sign into your account again after you click "Yes" otherwise they will lose access to all the games they game shared off of you!

Then Click on "Yes" and you should receive this prompt

Step 7. Once that is done turn on your PS3 and log into the PSN account that was given to your friends to game share off of, and now you can activate your own PS3 and play the games off that account! (Your friends that game shared will still have access to the content they downloaded off the same account, as long as they don't sign into that account again)

Step 8. Now the account with all the content on it will only be activated on your PS3. At this point you can game share with a 3rd friend (They can just log in like normal and download the games off of your account just like any other normal game share, also this 3rd friend will be able to log onto your account whenever they need to, and still have the games activated)

NOTE: You can repeat the same process every 6 months if you wish to game share with more people. You can also try and contact PSN support and ask them to "Deactivate All" for you if you have either:

1. Finished this tutorial and want to do it again for different pair of friends.

2. Did the "Deactivate All" before your friends got to game share

3. Have used the "Deactivate All" feature before and can’t use it again because it hasn't been 6 months yet.

You will have to come up with a fake story to convince them to "Deactivate All" for you. Example: "I had 2 PS3s and one of them broke, and I have bought a new PS3 but cannot deactivate my broken PS3"

EDIT: You don't have to come up with a fake story, I have been asking them to deactivate all for me on a regular basis and they don't seem to care, but the last time I requested a deactivate all they asked me why I wanted to deactivate all and I came up with a quick story. So if you don't want to get caught or flagged or whatever, it’s best you just keep to a fake story and don't request a deactivate all too often, and remember, THEY CAN ONLY DO IT ONCE EVERY 6 MONTHS AS WELL
then they should deactivate every PS3 for you!
