It says for games in the article.  Would it apply to DLC also? I guess we have to wait and see.  That would suck.  Considering I have 3 PS3's that I normally play on.

Speaking as a gamer.

Good! It needed to be regulated and thwarted. What the OP fails to realize is that his approach of "we're cutting the costs and sharing the bounty" is undermining to the rest of the community. Because you and your friends either can't afford the product or refuse to pay for it, you're driving the likelihood up of developers to increase the cost. You took something for granted that had huge risks and clearly was an act of irresonsbility. They, Sony, finally responded. It's a security risk. It's stealing. Now it's regulated even harder. I hope it's removed entirely at some point.

I have to say this is great news. I have a friend who makes roughly 70 grand a year, and he ALWAYS asks me for the maps. I love this. If you are too cheap to buy the maps, sorry for you. Also i saw someone saying 'i have 3 kids'. You mean to tell me you bought each one of your children a ps3 so they could all play at the same time, but you're complaining about 15 dollars? Share the maps with 2, buy an additional for 15 dollars, and get over it. I repeat, I LOVE this.

Quick question.

Say my PS3 has some kind of issue and I have to get it replaced through Sony. Will that second PS3 count as my second system in the sharing system? What happens if that one is defective also? I'll be on my third PS3 and S.O.L.?

Just wondering. I only have one PS3 and I doubt this will be an issue. I'm just wondering how that would work out.

I say this is great news. I am tired of the little kiddies harassing day in and day out for me to send my account info. I do not know who would do this but from the sounds of this it happens. If you want something in life earn it. I am sure the same people that dashboard, hack, etc. are the same ones that see no issue with sharing map packs due to the fact they have no concept of earning.

It's about time they did something about this. Can't count how many kids asked me if they could get it DLC that I paid for with my money. At first I had no idea what the hell gamesharing was until this one kid explained it to me. As soon as he said I had to give him my password I said hell no buy your own. Hopefully it will stop or at least decrease the kids online who can't buy or or get someone else to buy it for them. I have 1 PS3 and 1 account so this in no way bothers me lol. People who "share"/steal it with their friends will be the ones upset.

Let it go man.  As said before, game sharing and content sharing was for household with multiple consoles. You said yourself "me and my friends we share the cost of the map map tru one user gameID".  This is why PSN changed it to 2 instead of five.  Because you people are cheap and want to share with 4 other households.  It doesn't bother me because I just share it with my roommates ps3.  However, I feel bad for the people who have 3 or more PS3s in a household that are now screwed because of this.  But then again, if you can afford 3 or more ps3s, buying elite twice shouldn't be that hard.

People that use this feature in the way you describe is stealing.  You and others that have done this are why people like me, with MUTLIPLE PS3's.  Now I have to buy content three times to cover our 5 PERSONALLY OWNED AND OPERATED playstations.

Pat yourself on the back, preferabaly with a mac truck, for giving the corporate monster a way to make us pay for more than we should have to!!!

Its as bad as when Anonymous hacked the PSN to supposedly 'save' the consumer and punish SCEA... gimme a break... get a life.
