PS3 games on different systems

ps3

So MLB The Show just game out. Me and my dad both enjoy playing it and we buy it every year. Now that I am away at college (I got my own PS3 system) I would like to only buy it once. Can I do this via PSN. In other words, I know that I can download on two machines, but I have seen that you have to be logged in under the same account, and you have to wait at least 24 hours between playing on seperate systems.

So an I correct in assuming that we will not be able to play at the same time. If I am playing and he signs in (same account), will I get booted from the game, or just the server?

Thanks

While PSN users can be logged into one system of a type at a certain time (i.e. can only be logged once from any PS3), a game downloaded into an activated console will be available to other users on the same system, so you should be able to play with your father, as long as both consoles are activated with the owner account, the game is downloaded to both and you're logged in with different accounts.
