ok i have had a ps3 for a long time (nearly 2 months !) and my mate may be getting one too (this recent ban wave for 360s where they cripple the drive etc is showing microsofts true evil colours but lets not debate further into that and just say he may be switching) so i returned to my trused forum an did some research on the ps3 first reading the ultimate sticky thread ( i love that some one used a thermal camera to test reather verticle or horizontal was best for heat! ). now i read the gameshare thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/611680 and i understand the method etc but the thread is very old so i have some questions that i dont want to get lost in the throng of people asking for other peoples accounts to game share.
1st i better say i do not want to gameshare with random people so please dont ask nor will i ask you, i trust my mate as he is more like a brother then a friend and has never once let me down
1) we will be sorting it out around mine so the ip will be different to where he will be playing what im sharing (is that a problem?)
2) i saw that warhawk doesnot work but what happens when tried does it ban you if two people are logged in to the same version or simply wont load up for another gamertag?
3)will this work for dlc? ie if i buy and download a map pack for cod waw will he be able to download it too?
4) since he is my friend and really wouldnt do anything bad if i leave my account details logged into his ps3 (ie dont change my password) so he can with ease download anything new i get will we need to be careful not to be both signed in to the same gamertag at the same time or does that not matter? (serously this guy i trust with my life and my flat key he wouldnt do anything to my account)
5)if its a yes to question 3 would the dlc for warhawk be able to be shared? (i have it all) so say i buy him warhawk can he then use my gamertag to download the dlc for it or is it locked as well?
6) is there an uptodate list of what does and doesnt work for psn sharing?
sorry if this has been asked before but if it has i cant find it.

1: It won't be a problem. You just need to keep each others accounts on both ps3's.
2: You can download and install it and it will work but the other account will be blocked from using it for 24 hours. Then if the other account plays you will be blocked for 24 hours, don't know if that's changed but that's what happened when i first tried.
3: Yes It works for DLC.
4: You cant both be signed in at the same time, If your signed in and then your friend logs on to your account you will we kicked offline. Vice Versa.
5: Yes, you can share the warhawk expansions.
6: I haven't seen a list anywhere. sorry.

ok my mate got his ps3 yeasterday and i just wanted to clarefy something
i went through some of the stuff on psn and warhawks specifys in the terms of service 1 psn account, right fair enough i know from the sticky thread thats not sharable. the expansions say "one time fee for use of downloads on up to 5 activated ps3 systems" and you guys have already told me that that is sharable so im thinking right i can see how to tell now
but then i was looking at burnout paradise the ultimate bundle and that says use up to 5 ps3s as does battlefield 1942 surely they are not sharable? are they?
he comes round every friday and usualy brings his 360 and we play on live multiplayer till the wee hours but we have always needed two copys of each game etc if this is not the case with some psn titles that would save us a fortune (ive always felt you shouldnt have to pay for two copys of a game just to play multiplayer in your own home on two systems but then i hark back to the pc days and diablo ah good times)
so i guess my ultimate question is have i got this right;
if it says "one time fee for use of downloads on up to 5 activated ps3 systems" then me and my mate can share it
if it says "for use on one psn account" or "no more then one activated ps3 system within a 24hour period" then its not shareable
that seems way too easy and straight forward, i mean if thats the case i might ditch 360 entirly!

if im right about the wording in terms of service being the key to knowing which is and which isnt then im guessing battlefield might be
with burnought have you shared it then played online with the person you have shared it with or is that the catch? (theres gotta be a catch)

ok i have just hugged my ps3! the amount of times me and my mate have not played a game as we have different dlc or where he has brought dlc just to be able to play a game co-op with me that he hasnt particuly liked or vice a versa, things like that seem to be a thing of the past with the ps3...oh man if only i could transfer my 360 dlc to my ps3 !
thank you very much for your replys chap, you really have made my day !

As for question 6:
Not Sharable: SOCOM Confrontation, Warhawk game, Fatal Inertia, most beta tests are locked also. These have what we like to call the "24 hour lock" which means that it may appear as though you can share them, but as soon as another person logs into one of your "locked" games, you will not be able to log into it until 24 hours after they have logged out of it. If they log back into it then the 24 hours will start over.
Battlefield 1943 is sharable because that is how I got mine.
You spoke of 5 activated PS3s problem... well that means 4 other people have been given content from the owner so that PS3 is now locked from gamesharing. You are allowed to share any and all content (except locked content) with 4 other people. This does not mean you can share 1 game with 4 friends, then another with 4 different friends. You can share all of your content with only those 4 people. So say you let one friend download a Warhawk map pack, 2nd downloads Tekken, 3rd downloads Stardust, and the 4th downloads Burnout, your PS3 is now locked to yourself and those 4 people. You can share everything you have but only with the 4 people you originally gave stuff to. Any of these 4 can log back in and download something else from you later. The only way to open up a spot is to have a friend that you gameshared with to log back into your account and deactivate it through account management. I stated all of this in the thread I created. Look over it again.
