Hi there, I'm planning to buy FF VII off PSN.
I just want to know if I buy the game and download it using my slim, will I be able download it into my phat using the same account?

[blast1412]

O really?
Thanks, I never knew that.

Also, would that be illegal if I also download the game into my friends' PSP who don't have the game?
I feel that it's a waste if I don't use all 4 chances.

puttin it on your friends psp is like pirating...and yet its not at the same time...EPIC

then again its kinda like lending him your game.
anyhow i don t think you should waste out all your downloads something could happens and you may need to redownload.

So if you buy something on PSN, you can only download it 4 times before you would have to buy it again? That sounds pretty lame. But again, how often would you need to download it?

If you really care to see if it's illegal or not read the license. It might say something about a limit to how many PSP's you can put it on.

Unless you had to log in to the PSN to use anything you download there isn't a perfect system to protect against piracy.

Thanks guys for telling me all this.
I've decided not to download the game into my friends' console.
I think danos' right, I might need to redownload if something happens.

Also, i don't think the 4x item applies to the psp, though i could be wrong.

So if you bought a copy of a game in UMD format and the game store said you had won 3 extra copies, would giving 1 to your friends be piracy?

You bought it, you're free to do whatever you want with it, so no. It wouldn't be.

I wish I had more friends like that D=

I find that kinda stupid that you can only Download it 4 times... i mean you bought it, its your now so you should be able to download all you want like Steam but just need to be logged into the account you know. I find that a Huge flaw, unless i missing something im kinda hesitant about buying off PSN now.

Do what every other sane person does: download it and back it up somewhere. I keep all my backups on my comp and also on a separate external hard drive in case either one gets messed up somehow, not to mention I have all my best on my psp. Losing one of them isn't a worry since I still have the other two.

True dont blame you there but i dont have CFW on my PSP at all.

Lame, yes. They do that on purpose to make more money. Probably figure that some people will either lose the games so many times or try to distribute the download, so they eventually will make you pay for it again if it's what you want.
