Warning: Do not buy GT5 from PSN (if you want to use with another/subaccount)

[Proteus]

I wanted to warn everyone not to purchase GT5 from the PSN but rather from a B&M retailer instead (price is same).

Apparently, the version in the PSN is restricted to the Master Account only and can not be used by subaccounts. Which is complete and total bullshit, to be frank.

I spoke at length with Sony customer service (to a supervisor at one point who was a complete and total *******... You know who you are 'Rob'). Upon the discussion going nowhere I informed him I would have no choice but to do a chargeback on the credit card since the product was not what I was under the impression I was downloading. It also does not say anywhere, in any description, at any point in time that it is only useable by the Master Account. 'Rob' lied to me and said it was covered in the ToS and User Agreement which I have now gone through complete where no mention of any games being restricted to use by the Master Account exists. 'Rob' also lied and said that it stated it on the cart before confirming the purchase which I also debunked by going up to that point on my subaccount. At no point in time in any ToS or cart list or anywhere does it mention it can only be played on the Master Account. Upon hearing my only resolution being a chargeback, 'Rob' informed me that if I did that I would be permanently banned from the PSN and no longer able to play my Playstation 3 online in any way shape or form. Am I the only one who thinks this may be excessive for someone simply asserting their rights? I never even started up the game (offered to delete it then and there)! And, PSN has full control of our PS3... They could have easily nullfied the title on mine (from that digital source). 'Rob' informed me that Warhawk was the same way and I should have known better... Wow. That is just ******* stupid since I purchased Warhawk on Bluray and it works fine on all my subaccounts as well!

It is extortion, plain and simple.

Needless to say, I will no longer ever be purchasing _anything_ from the PSN. Ever. Sony has completely lost my business on that end (the more profitable end for them no less). I'm very tempted to go ahead with the chargeback as I think 'Rob' may have lied for a third time about the repercussions of such action.

Anyway, that's my rant for today. Just trying to help others avoid this bullshit with the craptastic PSN.
