Guide to buying stuff on the PlayStation Network

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

IF I'm not mistaken, hanggang 5 different systems mo lang ba pwede iactivate yung account mo.

so if I were to give my account details to a 6th person, let's say we will be trading games; will he/she be able to download games from my list?

thanks.
He/she won't even be able to access your account due to the 5 account limit.

^correct. one of the 5 users should deactivate his account first before another person can access the account.

Punta ka sa account management. May deactivate/activate option doon. And syempre by deactivated it means di na magagamit "lahat" ng bagay na associated sa account na yun. (games, videos, etc.) hindi ikaw ang magdedeactivate ng account ng ka-share mo, baka malito ka. halimabawa 5 na kayo na hati-hati. ikaw ang may ari ng main account at gusto mo i-share sa iba, kausapin mo isa sa 4 na tao na pinag share mong una para i-deactivate nila sa system ang account, syempre di na nila magagamit yung mga games. after that pwede ka na mag share sa iba nun kasi may free slot na ulit. may limit yan kaya mahirap deactivate and activate na yan.

clarify ko lang mga boss,

scenario: 5 kami naghati sa isang psn acct., na dl na namin lahat. "what if na delete ng isang nag share yung add-on"
pag na deactivate mo na sa unit mo, pwede mo ba ulit i-activate sa unit na yun to redownload the add-ons even 5 downloads have been made to that specific add-on with 5 persons/ps3? tyia

Question:

Game trading means giving someone else your log in details so you can download each other's games, right? Para safe you change your password temporarily?

Can you access your own acc while someone else is download using your log in? Or do you wait until they're done?

TIA and pardon the newbie...

yup you're right sa first question..sa second question naman, you dont have to wait for the other person to finish the download..kasi once naactivate niya na yung download, di na niya kelangan gamitin account mo..tumutuloy pa rin yung download niya even though nasa ibang account na siya and you could log in na and change your password after he activates the game na kukunin niya from your account :agree:

pag dinelete mo yung user account na ginamit mo na pangdownload ng games, di mo na malalaro yung game.

magiging inactive lang yung account kung ideactivate mo sa user account settings.

sagutin ko na fafs... yes as long as na-lo-login mo yung account (aware of username and password) at hindi mo pa dineactivate completely (under account management) sa unit mo this is possible... good luck!

Newbie Question:
I have a HK PSN account and I want to download SSF4 AE DLC. Do I need a HK PSN card to top up my PSN account? Or any card will do? I have a R3 copy of SSF4, does it matter which region the game is for downloading DLC? And what denominations do PSN cards come in?

Yes. Your PSN card should match your PSN account. SG and HK have different currencies in their PSN cards.

If you have a US PSN account, a US PSN account will do. Capcom DLCs are region-free (an R1 DLC for an R3 game, etc).

Ok thanks. By the way, are there any stores in the Philippines that sell PSN cards? At what amount do they usually come in?

DataBlitz and iTech/Mr.Dynamic in SM and Ayala malls. They have $10, $20, $50. The prices if I remember it correctly P600 ($10), P1100 ($20), P2800 ($50). Or something like that.

Some members in the Buy and Sell area of the forums also sell PSN loads (code only).

Are those the prices regardless of the card being a US or HK PSN card?
