PS3 Digital Version.

Well, I have a question about the Digital Version of Final Fantasy Reborn from PS3. Actually I play from PC and I want sync a PS3 account (I'll buy a Digital Version)...but my brother plays on PS3 and bought a Digital Version from HIS account...my question is, If I buy another Digital Version from MY PS3 account, is there a problem with it? Do I need to download again the game from my account? If no, how am I supposed to sync with my account?

If it's on the same PS3 then no, you don't need to download it again. That's the virtue of the console, you only need download it once for it to apply to all the registered profiles, great way to share games. You still need to buy it again, though, in order to have it count towards your account. When you buy it they will give you a code that you then use to register it.

Every person needs their own copy of the game for each platform they wish to play on. You can not play on the PS3 unless you register a PS3 registration code to your account. Downloading from another user on the PS3 won't change this. Doesn't matter if it's digital or installed from a disc.

FFXIV is licensed on an account basis. You can log in on any PC anywhere in the world, not just the one you installed the game on, if you have a PC registration code on your service account. You can log in on any PS3 anywhere in the world, as long as you have a PS3 registration code on your service account. Otherwise, you can not log in on that platform.

Remember: any software or video game is licensed to you, not sold. You are not paying for the disc and the software data, you are paying for the license granting you the right to use it.

As the above poster said though, you don't need to download it again. You DO need to buy it again.

I have a question about that. It is required to link your PSN account to your SE account. However, you can play games with several PSN accounts on the same PS3 as long as it was purchased and installed with one of them, correct? Or Doesn't that mean I could link, say, my GF's PSN account to her SE account using the game that I purchased with my PSN account (and linked to my SE account)?

I haven't tested this in release, but in Beta I had to download the client using a throwaway US PSN code because my canadian PSN account didn't work for it. But I played the game, and linked my SE account using my main, Canadian PSN account which was not used to make the "purchase".

Yes, it's the PSN account that's important here, not the PS3 the software is downloaded on. As for the code you got from the purchase, that I can't tell you. I've heard stories of people in the UK or Australia trying to do what you say but having little success. I'd try it anyway, given you're Canadian it could still work.
