Just quick question, how do i set up another account so that my flatmate can play all my games on my account but under his own name?

Hes playing on my account at the moment but its annoying as he has to change all my controls

Will he have to sign up for a psn account? cos i want him to be able to play all the games i have bought, will i be able to set up some sort of sub account?

cheers

Buy all the games you bought do you mean downloaded games?

I can't see transfer of games between accounts being free.

Cant you just create a new user, rather than a new PSN ID? Any user can access any of the downloaded stuff on the console.

on the XMB just go all the way to the left, and the top option there is create new user

You only need a PSN ID if you want to purchase things, play multiplayer or add other friends. If it's for the purpose of just playing a game then create a new user as mentioned above.

i have already created another user account for him, i should have explained more clearly.

for example i have warhawk, and he is having to play under my name online and has to change my controls every time he plays.

I'd create a sub account on PSN then. He should still be able to play as your purchased content is available to anyone on that PS3.

yea thanks get it sorted now, just set up a sub account

You can only play Warhawk when your online on PSN and on the account that you bought it on. It's the same with GT5 Prologue and it sucks.

The rest of the downloadable games are fine.
