    Well lads, wondered if you could help me with an issue.

    The two brothers have PS3, I have Xbox. Bought an Xbox version and PS3 version of game this morning in Xtra Vision. One bro installed it on PS3 no problem, playing away.

    The other bro then decided he wanted it having previously thought he'd wait. Bought the digital version on PSN and has a 40gb fat PS3 and is having the problems everyone seems to be.

    My suggestion was, and I wonder is it possible, for the lad with the disc to uninstall the game, give it to the other lad and he install the digital game on his 120gb PS3, no space issues. Anyone got any ideas on this? Can't help but feel terrible for the other bro :(

    Aww balls, see when they download the maps for COD and other DLC they can both play them using their own tags - that's what led me to believe this might work, plus i've been reading the game can be installed on two devices.

    it can be installed on 2 devices alright but I think you still hav to be signed in as the user that purchased it (not 100% on this you might wanna look into it a it more)
