For every account there can be 5 PS3's that can download purchased software. Once there are 5 separate PS3's that download from one account, no more systems can download from it. It is not 5 shares per game! Keep that in mind if you are going to gameshare!
You can use the gamesharing feature that Sony created to split games with 1-4 other people! Just remember to keep the account on your PS3. If you have already purchased games, you can share them with others, collect a few bucks for them, and put that money towards new games! Trade someone one game for another. There are many possibilities, be creative!
How to share your PSN games:
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
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. After game is downloaded, notify the "Sender" that the download is complete so they can change the password to the account.

Things to remember:- Don't trade with random people who message you on PSN! They are scammers 99.9999999% of the time!!!
- Before you share the account information with anyone you are sharing with, remove all of your billing information. You don't want to leave yourself open to unwanted charges. DO NOT TRUST RANDOM PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD.
- It's smart not to use your regular PSN ID to share games with people, but you can if you want to. Creating a new account is a safe way to go.
- Remember you can change the password before forwarding the account info, and then change it back when the trade is done.
- Be careful who you share with. Random people on the internet are random people on the internet. If a person just joined they are much more likely to be a scammer. Trusting someone who just joined the forums is a risk, and it is not recommended.
- PayPal is the easiest method for sending money to each other. When you collect money on PayPal, there is a small charge. If you split a $10 game 5 ways, ask for $2.50 from each of the other people to cover tax and PayPal fees.
