Warnings

• Transferring your account to other people violates Sony's terms of use for PSN. Share games only at your own risk. If you are caught doing this, your PSN account may be blocked or deleted.
• Only share your credentials with people you trust. Accessing your credentials allows you to see your name, address, date of birth, credit card information registered with PSN, and other personal information. Account sharing increases the risk of identity theft, fraud, and security threats.
