My brother just told me him and my other bro have been playing Settlers of Catan vs. each other a lot on Playstation.

He said you could get it from the PS Store for about $6.99.

I went to try to get it but it's no longer there. Very disappointed.

Is there another way to get this game? Is he somehow able to copy it off his system so I can load it on my via usb?

You can play Catan online for free on PC. The interface sucks, but you'll be able to set up games with your brothers.

Pretty sure that games can never be copied between playstations.

You can share games on PS3. I've never done it but I know it can be done. You used to be able to do it with up to 5 consoles but they reduced it down to 2 on PAL consoles. Not sure if it's the same for NTSC.

I've never done this and I don't know if it still works but here's some intructions.

Quote:
For the “sender”:

1. Purchase and download a game from the Playstation Store
2. Go to account management for the account and delete the billing information from your personal information if the PS3 saved your credit card info
3. Change your password temporarily for the share
4. Give login info (email address and password) to the receiver
5. When the share is completed, change the password

For the “receiver”:

1. In the PS3 XMB menu, add a new user account on your PS3 and sign in to it
2. Select the network on the XMB and create an existing Playstation Network account
3. Use the login information given from the “sender” to create the existing account
4. Login into the account
5. Enter into the Playstation store
6. Click on “Download List” on the upper right near the person’s userID and select the game you wish to download and hit download
7.Once u set background download…exit game and log in urself…notify sender that u done.
Although it is risky you should trade with people you trust.
And this is LEGAL.

i'll try that El K, but given that it's no longer available on the ps store, i'm not sure i'd be able to re-download it.

so i did that and it worked, and then i deleted my brothers account off my ps3. then after restarting the ps3 i tried to play again and it said i couldn't due to copyright violation..

so i created my brothers account again, resigned in, and when i tried to load the game it said i had to activate the system...so i did that via playstation network --> account management --> system activation and it worked again.

not going to delete my brothers account off the ps3 this time.
i'm not sure what the end result is. i was reading somewhere about 24 hour licensing. ie. if he tries to play it on his system, he'll have to activate his system, but there's a 24 hour delay between when you can play the games on different ps systems.
