PSN Game Sharing: Can I share a game with 5 *other* people (excluding me) ?

Hi guys. I have this question about PSN game sharing. Quite simple really. As you may know, most PSN Games and addons can be shared between upto 5 people. Now my question is this: Normally, what happens is that a person sharing the game normally is one of the five people sharing the game. That is, he takes up one of the five available slots himself, and shares the 4 remaining slots with other people.

Suppose I want to share a PSN game with five *other* people. That is, I buy a game, but do NOT download it on my own system. Instead, I share it with 5 *other* people. This way, I wont be one of the five people actually sharing/playing this game ..

Is this possible? Or can I still only share it with four *other* people ?

sony allowed it to be active on 5 activated systems per file... if your system doesn't have it, then i'd believe it wouldnt be considered active and would still have 5 consoles available to download on to...

hope this helps

you can share a game with 5 activated consoles, and yours is included. a ps3 counts as active with your psn if its saved under a user. for another ps3 to use your stuff, they have to be activated by creating a new user and using your psn for that user, so your psn will always be active, whether you d/l it or not.

but why would you buy it and not d/l it? if youre not gonna d/l it and your friend just needs the credit card, buy it for him using his psn, and then erase the credit card information, then get him to share it with the other 4 people

hope that helped
