I'm almost 100% positive I've earned at least one trophy on a phantom since the update and I've synched trophies several times. Still have access to phantoms.

 
Confirmed. Update was out last Tuesday, correct? I earned a trophy in Super Mega Baseball on 3/28. I synched my trophies as recently as last night.

nice, what I did now that I remember I earned a trophy and while appeared I accidentally pressed the PS button which took me to the synching screen and I think it took a screenshot as well

but idk, might just picking at straws now

Anyhoe... Any interest in a TLoU group? Split the resells no phantoms? Unless guigreg is right and it's only one resell one phantom. In that case I can see how gamesharing would stop completely.

If I remember correctly demos and betas don't quite work the same as game activations. I believe they don't actually take a user slot, but I'm basing all of this from when the thread experimented with the Uncharted 3/Subway multiplayer promo. Could be wrong since I don't own a PS4 though. Been reading the last 15 pages (thanks rams81), and all of this is quite interesting. Sorry to hear about everyone's losses.

I think that when it comes to activations it doesn't matter how many people download a demo off one account, when it gets reset it becomes a regular phantom.

On another note: Seriously... fuck BLOODBORNE! Holy shit I hate that game!

 
on a different note, for those of you who have switched HDD how did you go about it? any tips?

any way to save the games (even if locked) to a backup HDD to avoid dl?

Here you go. The 2.50 firmware update apart from screwing us out of our phantoms also added the ability to backup to an exernal HDD. You can choose to either include or exclude your game installs from the backup.

Now this is worrying to say the least, I'm really starting to lose hope and think it was a deliberate move from Sony and not a glitch. Unless demo licenses somehow work in a different way than the full games ones.

I've never really played a Souls game and I found Bloodborne to be really easy. 2-3 of the first bosses I killed on my first try just stumbling on to them. Its all about staying as close to the big guys as possibly and going behind them.

For those of you who don't have this game, you are missing out on one of the best PS4 game there is right now. It's not as hard as they make it out to be. It is, however, very scary borrowing heavily on lovecraftian lore. The noise the damn bottles make when you bump in to them scare me every time.

I'm not so sure if the issue is caused by your hard drive, but if you eventually decide to replace it I'd advise choosing either a 1tb or 2tb one. 1.5tb is a bit of a strange standard and while you can find a good drive of this size, most of the recommended options are 1tb and 2tb big.

If I were you I'd settle for 1tb, because they come in 7200rpm which is the sweet spot for speed (reduce them Bloodborne loading times yo) if you don't want to shell out for an SSHD or SSD. My recommendation is this guy:

http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Travelstar-2-5-Inch-Internal-0J22423/dp/B00B4QESVQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427986588&sr=8-2&keywords=2.5+7200

If the bigger size is a priority though, this one is a good choice:

http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-STBX2000401-2-5-Inch-Portable/dp/B00ILALU9G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427983692&sr=8-2&keywords=Seagate+2tb+2.5+7200

It is a portable drive, but you can easily take it out of the enclosure (as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkuCISkbIUo&list=UUtWScvg-KQi4mrf7_hRRgUQ) and place your current PS4 HDD inside afterwards.

There are tons of alternatives out there though, so if you can find a good deal on a different well review and popular drive it will most likely work great with your PS4.

You can try using the Dead or Alive, or Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires full demo. My phantoms are still working for now.

 
My bloodborne phantom from this weekend is still going strong. I wonder if it is maybe targeted at people who GS often? I have only rented RE: Rev 2, have a Bloodborne phantom, and a Last of Us resell on my PS4.

That could be a possibility, PS4's that show they have unlicensed games, or however the phantom license works. This would show some sort of dodgy signs (sorry people) and possibly flag those accounts to be locked?

From what I can see it's people who have purchased quite a few accounts that have been struck, at least earlier than others.

For what it;s worth I have a working phantom, touch wood. I will update if any changes happen but for now I will keep it untouched.

The phantoms I lost were purchased about 5 months ago and I don't do much sharing.
 
I want to share some info:

I had one PS4 phantom in my console, it worked fine the last days, but a few hours ago its locked. The real thing is I was playing bloodborne, but suddenly the console bring me out to the xmb menu, I said "WTF?, bloodborne still was actived, so I reentered again, when I finished to play bloodborne I went to check my games and my only ps4 phantom was locked now. My phantom cost like $5, so its not big deal.

Thanks for your response. Actually it's not easy for me to import hdd from Amazon right now, I have to buy it locally now please check these drives and tell me which one is best... I might go for 1tb 7200rpm. I am thinking of getting WD or Seagate but not sure wether they are 7200rpm or 5200rpm.

there's no solution for this problem sony made a new firmware and with the new firmware 2.50 the servers detected the number of consoles conected on one account so whend 2 users are logged at the same time as primary account the first user the ghost is set to seconday user and will ask him to login taking the licence off...many many users are losing the ghosts evry second shows up a new case the solution here its to unplug the console and play offline or soon or later will show up the dead lock ...so in resume theres no more ghost accounts theres only a primary and secondary accounts with this update they fix the ghost account bug so i guess gamesharing on ps4 is over

That's from some shady site where people talk about listing phantoms on eBay. Looks like it's bad news.

That's not true. If ghost user sending the wake-up signal to primary user of the same account, then only one phantom should get locked. As far as I know all phantoms were affected at the same time.

That should be easily testable. I'm about to leave for classes or else I would do it, but could someone test it out. Make a phantom of a demo game or something then both play it at the same time. If what I'm reading is correct, it should deactivate the phantom and cause it to get locked out.

 
Hmm my friend's gta phantom just stopped working when the new update for it pushed out this morning. My diablo 3 phantom still working fine. So it might really be the end of gs. Wonder if i should still risking this bloodborne phantom share lol.

If you are talking about D3: RoS that you bought from me - it's a half-phantom (without reset). Full phantom is on my console.

Both WD My Passport Ultra and Seagate Expansion (it's the 1tb version of the drive I recommended :D ) are good drives and should work perfectly with PS4. I'd go with Seagate here, because My Passport has a WD Green HDD inside, which is not so great, good but not great.

They are both 5400rpm as well. It really is up to you if you care about the ~3 seconds longer loading times. You could check other stores in your area for 7200rpm drives or just buy this Seagate, put it into your console and enjoy some games. Whichever you prefer.

However keep in mind that if you go with 5400rpm you may as well pick a 2tb one. Seagate Expansion is a popular drive, so I think you should be able to find the 2tb version available somewhere.

If you need more advice, shoot me a PM, I will be glad to help.
