Yeah, I just did it as well. He sends you a mail with a PSN account which you have to log onto with a new made PS3 account, you download the games you bought and then they work for as long as you have that new account on your PS3. Pretty easy and works fine =)

well yesterday I'd caved in and chanced buying a couple of packs.
Got the info not too long after paying (within the hour)....and downloaded all of them from both temp accounts no problem....so all good there.
This morning...I bought a couple of packs, which I paid for about 2hrs ago - but yet to get the info yet from him........
while I've been waiting and looking though....I see theres also sellers selling $150 psn cards for £20 - that are supposedly active for between 24hrs to 3 or 4 days...so the buy can in effect pick and choose what they want to buy in that timeframe...and so it probably works out a similar cost.
Presumably this guy buys them this way somehow and sells them.
The only concerning thing though.....if google psn $150 cards there is v little info about them....people asking if they are scams...and others saying they "probably are"...and that they're probably from stolen credit cards....and 1 person claims that a friend had his PS3 mac banned from the sony network because of buying a couple of cards like this.....whether that is true or not though who knows.
Doesn't really make sense though as too little money/profit to gain by selling $150 cards for so low...compared to their risk factor on themselves if indeed they are using stolen credit card details.....and there does seem to be a few sellers on ebay.com selling them too.
So also makes me wonder if this seller on ebay uk doing the packs is involved somehow with these types of cards...and could therefore potentially get us banned too.
Wish there was some more info out there on them

I can see on April the 30th he also sold a $150 PSN card to someone for $20 - so these shared games are near definately somehow linked to those store cards thats kicking about.
Looks like the beginning of May was when he first started selling the game bundles.
Wish someone genuinely knew where these $150 card deals come from to if they are legit (some sort of corporate business deals for example being exploited)

So he's legit and they work? That's good enough for me .. I'll definitely buy a pack or two once I get my machine back. Great stuff, thanks!

shame you didn't have your ps3 back....as could have then tried a gameshare of the stuff I'd bought directly afterwards before it gets closed off.
Hoping the fella gives me the details tonight to get the games I already bought.......then I can work out what games I still need for the ps3, as I went through the wiki list to find the psn exclusive stuff - as I have a jtagged 360 so have the nonexclusive stuff

slightly concerning.....still nothing....also noticed he hasn't been relisting any of his items that he's normally been doing.
Here's hoping he's just sidetracked...and that I haven't just lost £15. but the day before did spend £26 no problem (customised list - and paid direct rather than thru ebay on that one too) - but response was v v quick

What I did do/notice however......
While I had the info - I logged onto the psn website and used the info.
It was indeed a US account, registered to Missouri somewhere (presumably fake details for someone)..it was made 3 days ago with 3x$50 cards added...and within 24hours the games had been purchased.
So its nigh on certain that they've been bought using these dubious fleabay/dhgate $150 card deals that keep seeing around.
But I am tempted to have a punt at getting one of them $150 cards myself...then change the password on it after I've bought and downloaded what I want....to see if I can get to keep the account for a few days at the least.
Maybe I could do the same/similar....like for example I buy the card and agreed games, get them, then give someone the details to download and add straight after....then once they've done that (by way of trust) they send me £5 towards it...that way I'd have only paid £15
If it even works out any cheaper getting these cards that is...than getting the prebuilt packs that people like the ebay seller is building.....after all he's using about a £20 spend...then selling it 4 times...typically getting 7 quid......so for single use....may aswell just pay the 7quid (if the pack has what you like in there

well he hasn't listed any more items.
It looks to me, like he's maxed out his own collection (and so not needing to buy any more packs specifically for himself, minus a few bits and bobs of small things)...and so had no need to sell the gameshares of his purchases.....so suspect he probably wont list any more bundle packs for a while now till enough new content comes out (or someone does the custom purchase - where he'll then have spare ones).
In my own list of things I want, I've just added it up to be $325 on the psn US store....so might find $25 of stuff to drop and then get a couple of $150 packs.
I'm guessing we probably aren't allowed to trade on this site or anything otherwise I'd probably offer the share of the account for a part payment or something........
..time to look through them rules......not illegal after all (not as far as can tell anyway)

Nah, he'll add more stuff. He sold out last week, two days later he had a whole bunch of things for sale again. Thanks for the feedback about your experiences, looking forward to getting some myself =)

Gaaaaaaah... I want my fudging PS3 back!! If I had my comp last week, I'd have gotten my PSN titles already. I'm especially looking forward to getting Agarest War (though 18GB to install it is obscene....) as the likelihood of there being an EU release for the 360 is getting slimmer and slimmer.

Wonder how long it takes them to send the info. I brought up a chat window with them but the person said "not have goods now" etc and broken english
tempting...plenty feedback on there (dont know how much is fabricated tho)
