    On one of Polish gaming forums I found info about this auction:  

    http://cgi.ebay.com/PlayStation-3-500GB-324-games-400-dlc-more-/140562649852?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D688068678604612696#ht_12414wt_1061 
     
    That's quite an impressive collection, isn't it? The guy is trying to give up the compulsive PSN purchasing habit, so he decided to sell his console. That's quite a feat for something that you wasted more than $10k on.
     
    I am in no way affiliated with the seller, I just find the whole situation quite extraordinary. I wonder how many people have amassed such a collection of downloadable titles?

    Yeah that auction has a nice story too bad I don't believe it for a second and think what really happened was he put in hacked firmware and exploited all of PSN before Sony shut it down.

    I used to have a Steam account with every Steam game available too.

    Let me make up a story real quick about how I got them legitimately.

    I'm too much of a cynical asshole to buy into that.

    That's what I would think too, but I actually read the forum where he posts a lot. There's a thread where people post their purchases - every week this guy would post photos of the purchased games (or the scratch cards that he would later spend on games).  
     
    Oh, and BTW - isn't there a way to verify this? Like - if you have the gamer tag or whatever it's called, you could report it to Sony. They would either ban the guy, or confirm the legitimacy of purchases? Just curious...

    That. I'd never sell my PS3 if it had all of that on it...

    If he didn't do the glitch that let you download anything on PSN for free, then I bet he just downloaded the games with his account and is selling it deactivated.

    It means that you wouldn't be able to play the games anyway because his PSN isn't tied to it anymore. Easy profit.

    So, let me repeat my question that got buried under other comments. Is there a way to VERIFY that the games are legit (purchased), and that the account is active? Like - ask the Sony customer service or something?
