Re: Deactivating Game Media using the Online Portal

from late last year the account limitations restricted you to having only 2 active at any given time im afraid

the days of 5 account activations are gone for good thanks to the gamesharers

Let the others come after us. We welcome the chase

Re: Deactivating Game Media using the Online Portal

The restriction applies to having your account activated on a maximum of 2 consoles at a time.

 

I am however trying to find out how I install GT 5 on my 3 consoles and if it is a case of activating the software 3 times and when I deactivate my main account on 1 of them whether the content will still work on all 3 consoles?

 

To that I cannot get an answer.

Re: Deactivating Game Media using the Online Portal

It really sucks that I cannot completely remove an old PSP system I used to own from the Devices section of the website.

 

I did do a Deactivate All but that only removed the PSP from the Game section. It's still registered for Video, Music and Comic and I can obviously still see it in the Playstation Systems owned section too.

 

Do I really have to dial an 0844 number and speak to Sony to be able to get this PSP removed once and for all?

Re: Deactivating Game Media using the Online Portal

My old ps3 fat model finally died and so I have bought a new ps3. I want to download purchased Singstar songs for my kids but it says they are linked to my old ps3 and cannot be used on the new one which I have activated.

Can I deactivate just 1 ps3 and then get the Singstar songs onto my new PS3?

Unfortunately deactivation using the online portal only allows for all consoles to be deactivated rather than a individual console basis.

 

If you would like to deactivate just the once console you will need to contact your local PlayStation Customer Service Centre:

Only press a wrong button at the wrong time and get error code 80029780 then everything on that account is none accessible for a week until it re sets itself. 


 

This comment really concerns me - i have no reason to doubt scaryhair71.

Because i remember him being very angry about this in another thread.

 

But what does he mean wrong button?.

 

Ive just had my 60gb replaced with a refurb slim (CP) - Trouble is,i wont be able to activate it because all my slots are used up (i have another slim - ie,2 machines).

 

So i will have to use this website in a few days.

 

I'm worried,because i had to de-activate/activate my new slim (via ps3) a few days ago because i upgraded the hard-drive.So i thought i do this to be on the safe side.

 

Will it be safe to use this website in the next few days - Bearing in mind i activated/de-activated a ps3 a few days ago (via ps3)?

 

Or will my account be locked out from me?

 

Honest users shoudnt have to worry about these things - If i lose access to over £1000 of content,i will not be a happy bunny.

Re: Deactivating Game Media using the Online Portal

This is great for me because the other 4 PS3 systems I had I no longer own due to upgrades and YLOD, however, before I click deactivate all I want to make sure when I log on to my current ps3 that all my online data e.g. my level and stats on MW3 and subscription to call of duty elite will still be there?
