I asked this in the other thread. You can activate the PS4, disconnect it from the internet, and sell it like that - but make sure to change your PSN password before you sell it. Buyer must be warned to never connect it online, and for as long as it stays offline, the games that are on it (including P.T.) will all work.
I know I should be defiant but I'm starting to think it might be time for me to let go of P.T. You can't really sell it without also selling your Playstation Account so there's simply no real reason to keep it other than playing it in the future.
Let the PasT die. Kill it, if you have to.

Thanks! Makes sense. Funny that person can't connect it to the internet - makes it seem even more "hidden" so to speak.
I bet most developers would kill for a demo that hit half that hard.
It was still a demo for a game that never entered production.
Great, my PS4 will be worth a million dollars in the future!
Fuck Konami.
it's tied to your PSN account so when you sell your PS4 you have to sell your PSN account as well.
The P.T. worship on Era astounds me. Good for you all enjoying the demo so much - I just don't understand keeping a console for it.
I do wonder if there's anything beyond being petty.
- Promising a game on the final cutscene that will never be released?
- Licensing stuff?

To this day, there is no better "game" to introduce people to what is possible in gaming nowadays: I have friends that never liked gaming and were astounded by it (two of them even bought PS4s after playing the thing).
It's a great experience and I will miss it not only for what it represents as an important piece of art, but as my favorite horror "game" ever.
All that said, I won't keep my PS4 for it, but wouldn't judge people who are in a position to do it.
They are so irrelevant these past years, they rather have #Fuckonami trending than being forgoton in a dark corner.
I know people have saved the pkg file, the only hope for preservation is that someone makes a working PS4 emulator that can run P.T.
I think when you go online, it'll invalidate it. The problem is, I think you need to go online to sign in to your account at least once. So it's unavoidable.
P.T. never cost any money, so if you only have this one free game on the disk, that is removed from the existence otherwise, I don't see what is being pirated? If you also include games that cost money and can be purchased, then I see the point.
Ah yeah... that's true. It won't let you play the games from the external HDD unless you sign into the account. Not that it would make much sense to have a PS5 that you can't connect online anyway.
If I go for long enough without playing my ps4 and then try to play any of my digital titles it tells me it needs to check or refresh the license. I then have to connect to PSN and validate that I own the titles.
Is this not the same thing for everyone (fwiw same thing on my PS3)?

I think that happens when your console is not set as "Primary"
I don't see why these would matter since P.T is only available to those who downloaded it back then. The lack of digital ownership should be illegal, honestly. If I get a free promo poster for an upcoming movie, and they decide to cancel that movie, no-one would come and that it away from me.
This is so petty. Damn it Konami, just let people who already have it in their libraries play it on their PS5s.
The blacklist/whitelist is probably downloaded to the console when you login, so it doesn't matter if you play online or offline
I'm surprised Konami haven't sent the Yakuza to bust down doors to confiscate any PS4s with PT still in it.
No. The validation for backward compatibility is server-side. The ability to run PT was disabled on server-side, not as a firmware update.
Ahh âś…
that would make sense it's the unit in the garage. Thanks for the insight
Oh speaking of "Primary", has anyone mentioned if the "Primary" is relative to just PS5s or both PS5 and PS4?
Were there any system updates for the PS5 in that time? What FW did it ship with?
What a shame. At least good to know it technically does work though. Arbitrary restrictions aside.
I actually have no problem with it. It is a game i played long time ago, and i dont play it anymore. Im fine if i cant play it
