No game sharing for Warhawk!
One feature of the PS network, is that a user can download something they have purchased on the PS Store up to 5 times, this is there in case a user needed to download something again due to accidental loss.
Users have been abusing the feature though, sharing their user account with friends, so that they may download the purchased games on to their PS3’s. Sony says that the case with Warhawk will be different however as only those who have purchased the game will be able to log in to play it.
In addition to the PS download version of Warhawk it will be also released on Blueray, the first game to be released on both formats, so it is much more of a title then say Super Rub a Dub.
Incidentally Warhawk will now be released on the 30th costing £19.99 to download
