PlayStation membership help (2 PS4 in different countries)

Hi there, I have a question regarding the PS membership. I have a PS4 and my brother is getting one but he live in Argentina, can we both use the same PS membership? I mean so he can play the games I have brought online? Is this even possible or legal :p

Can I buy a membership and send it to him? Or buy games online and send it to him?

Regards.

    I used my AU membership when I was over in the UK. I also used it either side of that in Aus.

    You won't be able to both play online at the same time.

    yes, there is a way.

    lets say, your ps4 has an account called master and its not set as primary ps4. on the other hand, the second(brother's) ps4, lets call it secondary, has the account master on it but set as primary.
    but the secondary wont use the master account, it would use it just to download games that you bought using the master account.
    that way, you get to play same game on both accounts, no need to buy two ps plus subscription or two copies of same game.

      so if i have 2 accounts on my PS4, 1 has ps + and 1 doesnt. Can i play the games i bought on Ps + on my other account?

      • yes, you just have to set the one with ps plus games as primary ps4.

        • i am sorry if this sounds stupid, is that an option to set in the playstation itself? I cant distinguish between whats primary at the moment. it would be pretty good though, because i play games on my bf's account that has it and sometimes he deletes my save files :@

          @kza2610: yes, it is option on the playstation itself. heres a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjRaCp_CoOo

    • Awesome :) now sorry to be a pain ( not very good with tech stuff ) how do I do this? I'm the one with the PS plus, do I need to give him my account login for him to go into he's PS4 and then be able to download the games I have brought online?

      • yes, you do need to give him your psn login details. he will have his own account but your account will also be there and it will be set as primary ps4.

        after he logs in with your account on his ps4, he will be able to download the games and play with you or against you. he will not need ps plus subscription as long as your account has it.

        you must not set your account as primary ps4. only your brother can since sony allows one account to have one primary ps4.

        • Thanks mate :) I will desactívate my PS as primary, so then he have to set it at primary right?

          @josecejas83: yeah, and about the CC thing, dont leave it on. every time you make a purchase use paypal and logout of it after purchase.

  • If you're going to do this make sure not to link your CC details onto your account otherwise you're going to have a real fun time when someone else in South America hacks your account to purchase FIFA points. Has happened to me twice this year already and I'm pretty careful with passwords (alphanumeric, unique PWs across accounts, etc)

    • Wowwwwww really? That's bad :(

      • just make sure you dont have your psn displayed on twitter/reddit/facebook or anywhere you dont need it to be.
