I'm not sure if this is allowed here on these forums (some forums prohibit this), but would anyone from Europe with a PS3 be interested in gamesharing?

If you don't know what "gamesharing" is, Sony has given the developers of PSN games the option of letting purchasers "share" the game with up to 5 other people. I say "share" because it's not really "sharing"--rather you'll have access to a full copy of the game, and it can even be played simulataneously with the person who shared it with you.

You see, Microsoft has exclusive rights to distribute Sega's "Outrun Online Arcade" in the United States, meaning I am unable to purchase this game on the PSN. On the other hand, the game is available on the European PSN.

I love Wipeout, but sometimes I feel like just taking it easy and cruising, and Outrun is the perfect game for this (I really wish Wipeout HD had a similar mode).

Should you be interested in gamesharing Outrun with me, I am willing to send you the funds to cover its cost (and then some, if requested) through paypal, and I am also willing to share any of my PSN games with you. I have: Wipeout HD, Wipeout HD Fury, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Flower, Twisted Metal 2 (PS1), Metal Gear Solid (PS1), Ragdoll Kungfu, Battlefield 1943, and perhaps some others I'm currently forgetting.

If needed, I will post detailed instructions on how to gameshare in this thread.

It is prohibited by the EULA of the PSN to share password and login information to your account.
Doing so can get you banned from the PSN.

It is also dangerous doing so with a person you do not know, as it is easy for them to gain control of your account and all the purchases tied with it.

I advise anyone on this forum not to do so, for their own safety. Do this between friends (Without sharing login information, use a dummy password!), but doing this online is taking risks.

While I agree with DD777 and that you should avoid doing this, it really is a bitch move on Sony's part to restrict games on PSN to NA,Eu, Jap. It hurts them more then they think.
