How does it not? He creates a new account for the US, buys PS+ for that account and while he will lose out on the Avatars (as those are linked to that speicifc account), everything else you'll be able to access on any accounts on that system. So he just downloads them through the US PS+ account while playing them all on his Swedish account saving all his trophies while adding new ones as he plays.

Incorrect, he will not keep his trophies. Very easy way to test your theory (which I've just tried): XMB > Users > Create New User > OK > Login as User 1... trophies are gone.

I'm sorry but what? That's not making any sense to me. I have 4-5 accounts on my PS3 an all of them have their own trophies and PSN level, independent from one another. And no, they don't get wiped clean when I switch users.

no i'm pretty sure you don't understand. he would only login to the US plus account to purchase and download the games. once downloaded and installed, he would sign into his normal local account with all his trophies and play the games on that one. he would earn the trophies on his normal account.

this works, my wife and I do this all the time and maintain different trophy lists. my account is PS+, hers is not.

I don't know if it was just my PS3, but up until this update, anytime I tried watching a youtube video....from say, a site like http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/ (I love documentaries, lol!), every time, about 10 minutes into any video I tried to watch, my PS3 would freeze, no matter what I tried. I can now say that after this update, my PS3 no longer hangs! That's been my main concern, because it's way more comfortable to watch an online vid from the recliner, than go all the way over to my desk and watching it on PC....that's about the only thing I've noticed that's better. I just got home, and haven't got to play around with it too much yet, though. (I did the update, then had to leave, but I left a video playing in the background to see if I'd come home to a frozen system....all smooth, as the video was still playing when I returned.

Ah I get you now... apologies Boxster!

No big deal, I probably could've been a lot clearer in trying to explain it there as well
