wouldnt recommend the ps4 version of unity, looks like shit and runs like shit. saw it at a friends house.
you should be able to get the last of us remastered cheap now, must play if you havent played it on ps3. you got ps+ already? the infamous dlc is free till february (no need for the basegame) and the maingame should be awesome too (not my kind of game though). sadly no other titles which are worth buying (killzone was utter shit)

I'm buying games really cheap on polish auction house (allegro). I don't know exactly how it works but I buy them 50% cheaper (i just paid ~25$ for dying light), they give me an account I need to add to my PS4, set it as main, and play on my account.
Pros:
- 50% cheaper (they're selling GTAV for 20$)
Cons:
- If your HDD gets damaged you lose the games
- you have a lot of accounts on your ps4
- you can get ripped off (you can reset the main PS4 on the PSN webpage every 6 months)
BTW does anybody know how do they profit from that ? I'm guessing they're selling the main account for 50% and borrowing/selling the sub account (no main).
I don't give a shit really, because when I finish with a game I mostly don't ever go back. And wasn't ripped off yet.

account sharing for money, especially on such a massive scale, is most definitely illegal. i'm too lazy to find quote in TOS but i'm 100% it's there. don't know if there were bans for this on PSN yet, but there were on xbox live when 360 account sharing was out of control.

as discussed before. There hasn't been any cases of bans on PS4 yet for this, but it may happen. I've found a few cases on PS3, but that was mostly because they were reported or done some stupid shit.
People on polish Allegro are selling these accounts like crazy, and people are buying it. Including me.

no. They don't sell codes, because they wouldn't profit from that. You can buy codes, but that beats the purpose, because they're the same price as at PSN.
PS4 account sharing is pretty complicated
You can set ONE console as your main. On a console you have set as main you can play the game on ANY account.
Apart from playing on main, you can play on another console at the same time BUT you have to be connected to the internet for authentication AND you are limited to the account the game is on.
So yes, two people can play from the same account.
---
What I did a couple of times was rent an account just to play the game. I've beat Assasins Creed: Black Fag by buying an account for 3 weeks for 10 polish zl. I don't give a shit about trophies so that's perfect.

HOW THIS WORKS
(from reddit)
Quote: | People used to share accounts for PS3 games, now they're doing the same for PS4 games, to cut back expenses.
It's only safe to do it amongst friends, though. Don't trust e-bay sellers.
Someone creates a new account, purchases one game on it and then the game can be shared to up to three people, and they split the cost of it accordingly.
Here's how it works:
Ghost Player (Pays 30%)
The ghost player receives the account and downloads the game.
Whoever is mediating the transaction then goes to the sony website and revokes his console permission to use the account.
Therefore, the ghost can never re-download the game if something happens, but the ghost can play with any PSN ID.
Secondary Player (Pays 20%)
The secondary player logs in with the account, sets his console as secondary, then downloads the game to the console. He will always be able to re-download the game, but he will never be able to play the game with his original PSN ID. He will only be able to play it using the new account created specifically to buy the game. So this isn't good if you're a completionist and really enjoys hunting trophies, because they won't go to your PSN ID.
Primary Player (Pays 50%)
Paying more out of the three guarantees the primary player the right to set his console as primary. This means that he gets to re-download the game anytime he wants and play with any PSN ID.
Hope I've been able to clarify what that was.
|
------
What I don't get.. Can't there be infinite number of "ghost accounts" ? It looks like it. But the limitation is that you can revoke primary console remotely every once 6 months. So you can duplicate your game on consoles, every 6 months.
So they're pretty much using a "glitch" in PSN, that's how they profit.
That's even more complicated than I thought.

Buy "used" PSN credit. I am from Germany and you can easily get 50 % off. Should be able in other countries, but obviously I haven't tried it.
This is also a much safer way to get cheap games instead of buying those shady accounts. No risk of banning and all games in one account.

You can buy credit from other people. This works over mobile payment. Basically other people give you a mobile number, which is then charged for the amount.
The way the sellers (usually) make money is that they either do not fully have to pay the mobile bill or because they get new prepaid cards with 10 € credit for only 3 €, the rest is their margin.

the problem of buying accounts for gamesharing :
1-the seller sells the accounts to several users in different regions
2- most of the games on these accounts bought by stolen credit cards... even if the seller
gave you all the information of the account and the email that is used to create the psn account with
so either the account will be blocked or you will possibly get a console ban
so i think 20$ doesn't worth the risk

completely agree. there are better and legal ways to get cheap games for PS4. US/Canadian accounts, buying used physical copies of games, all kinds of special deals on PSN. or if you wait 6 months most games reach <30$ price point anyway
paying 20$ to some thieving scumbags who got these accounts with shady methods just isn't worth it.

These are the "share accounts" explained earlier.

I don't believe that's the case on polish allegro (like ebay) in most cases. You just have to buy from users with good reputation.
Besides, I can't find any cases on google of PS4 bans for account sharing.
