So, on my PS3, i have two accounts. Let's call them account A and account B.

Account A has all my 'real' info like my address here in Brazil, my name and all that jazz. Account B has a 'fake' american address. Why do i have two accounts you ask? Well, because the PSN sucks and won't let me buy anything out of the PS store because I don't live in the US >_>

Anyways, but that isn't really a problem because, anything I download with account B is also valid for account A (my main account, where I have all my savefiles and trophies and stuff). Games, themes, add-ons... Everything is shared by both accounts.

Everything but downloaded avatars.

I discovered this not too long ago when I was taking a look at the downloadable avatars and saw that OMG, they had Flower avvies. Since I love the game and I want everyone to know that, I instantly downloaded them all so I could use them on my main account.

Although, it seems like avatar downloads are only valid for the user that downloaded them. In this case, account B that hgas no purpose but help me buy and download stuff.

Is there any way around this? I looked for an answer for it on other sites and forums, but found none. I don't even know if it's possible or not to transfer avatars, so, that's why I'm asking. Did anyone here ever had a similar problem? Am i the only one to have two accounts????? So many questions!

uh sadly, to address the problem, i have no idea what you can do, sorry mate!

and haha nah i got like, 16 accounts LOL.

admittedly i only use 2 regularly though, got a real one and an american one [i live in england but the US store gets demos and stuff sooner, so i get a quicker update on stuff, if you get me xD]

but i dont know about the avatar problem, sorry!

Oh man...

Why the hell something as cheap as an avvie can't be used by both accounts but something as expensive as a full game can? That makes little to no sense XD

Ann believe me buddy it sucks to the bone that you can't transfer the avatars. My guess would be, when u buy an avatar it saves it to your psn account, a sort of online database that your selecting from... When you are selecting your avatars in the 'account management > account information > avatar' section your actually selecting from an online database and not from a set of avatars saved onto your HDD. I mean I could be way off the money there but that's how I figured they work it. So unlike themes, they're not just saved to your HDD accessible by anyone on the system, but to your actual psn account which is only obviously accessible when signed in. I hate that -_- I hate being in Britain and seeing all the wicked avatars in the us store for Okami and marvel vs capcom and resident evil code Veronica and not being able to get them here. Rubbbiiiisssshhh.
