as far as I know, that is to put 1 purchased game on 3 machines. no?

How many times do Nintendo or Microsoft let you do it?

For the Xbox you can download your gamertag on every console. But you will only be able to play the games if you are online. Unless you have the main account

I know nothing about PS3/PSP connectivity but if I purchase a PSN game (such as FFVII) that plays on both PS3 and PSP...does sharing/transferring that game to my PSP count as 'the second PS3 of 3 PS3'? ...and does the PSP account have to have the same account name as the PS3 in order to share games? Thanks to those that answer.

so, what if I'm not online? I won't be able to play game games??? Here with Rogers internet, it slows and turns off itself many times during the day. And I don't live in any rural places.

 

To me, that is a major flaw there, and exactly why I never even registered my xbox

It could become a pain in the ass, since they don't let you remotely deactivate consoles at this point.

However, it's apparently a typo and you're still allowed to have five consoles activated at once.

Then this thread shall be locked

 

@Kingofwale

If you are the one to originally buy it you can play it whenever. But if you download your account to another Xbox they can only play when they are online

well this is going to make the stupid "GAME SHARED AND I GOT HACKED!" threads.
i think they should remove gamesharing all together (Except for PSPs). and support developers.

why psp? well. i wouldn't like to buy the same game for my brother or someone close because we both have psps.

yeah. Your psp can only be on 1 psn account. It switches when you transfer from your ps3. If you change account by transferring from another ps3 then you can't play the content from your other psn.

 

Also, yes it does count as it's a device :p



Check out my game about moles ^

See bolded part in red you missed.

The other stuff is if I downloaded Cool New XBLA Game IV at home on my 360 and I want to play it my friends house, I sign in on his 360, download it, and play it.
