What about games you can download? I'm not sure about the answer, I don't have one yet, but with a PS Network account, can you buy it on one console and download it on both if you're signed in? Or would it even let you sign in on the same account at the same time?

starting to think this was a bad idea of even getting a ps4 i cant do anything spending hours online trying to read stuff.... unless my ps4 is junk shit....spend 5hrs downloading the digital copy of ghost since i got it for ps3 and then i cant even play it unless the ps3 disk is in the ps4 wth did i spend 5hrs downloading the digital copy if i cant play it without the ps3 disk

Just have to make each other's PS4s each other's Primary console and leave that profile on that PS4 or else the games have a little lock icon on the game. Just have to be connected to the internet and signed in on your own account on your PS4. Hope that wasn't too confusing.

I believe you can make separate accounts and still play like you could on the PS3. If you have 2 ps4's you should be able to game share games with your other console. I haven't tried it yet but I read about it on the PS blog not long ago.

What sidd said.I bought 2 for my boys Bruce and Joey as well. On Joey's console I have it set up as Bruce's primary and vice-versa. This will obviously only work for downloaded games. They have yet to try to play the same game at the same time so I can't confirm if it will work that way or not

As a freelance web manager, designer, writer and a million other things. I still do not make enough to buy my family a PS4 :'(

It's hard to save up money these days, especially through the holiday. I can't even do a damn thing for my parents or my sister because I'm broke, even when I make money, I'm broke.

This, I have no idea what else to do. if it's just one console then you're going to have to co-op with two controllers.
