Welcome back package?

I have already downloaded my games from the welcome back package. I have just realised that I can download more of the games on other accounts on my system. Once I have downloaded two other games on another account which nobody uses, will I be able to somehow copy the games onto my account? Or will I have to just put up with playing on a different account?

Thanks for any answers.

    Im pretty sure the games install to the PS3's HDD, so you should be able to play on any account

    While it may seem like the games are account-locked, they aren't. You can play all of the games on either of your PSN accounts. I presume you have already downloaded the two extra games, right?

    Add a new User to your PS3 (via the first icon on the XMB, not a new PSN account) and log in to PSN on this new user with your second, unused PSN account (the one which you got the two extra games from). You can then log out of that user and, provided you keep it on the PS3 with the relevant PSN account details, you can log back into your original user account and sign into your own PSN account and play the games on it. Just remember not to delete the second PS3 user.

    As far as I know, doing this even after downloading your extra games will work. I personally created the second user account first and then logged into PSN with my second PSN account for the first time from there and then downloaded my extra games but it shouldn't make a difference if you create the new log in user and assign the PSN account details to it afterwards.

    Sorry if I've confused you - there is a key difference between PS3 User Accounts and PSN Accounts which I've tried to make apparent. Basically, create a new User, sign in to PSN with your second PSN account details and keep the User on your system. You should be able to play any games on either User account then.

    Hope I've helped! :)

    Probably have to play them from a different account. I don't rightly remember how the PSN works in that regard. I think the game is locked into that account which is how you're able to re-download it later if you need to. I say just put up with having to play the games on different accounts.

    yeah, you can only play two free games on one account, and the other two free games on the other account.
