Issue with redeeming my used code

Guys, I created a new PSN ID and deleted the first PS3 account I created on my PS3. But the thing is, I used Deus Ex HR Explosive Mission Pack code on my previous PSN ID on the original PS3 account. Now I created a new PSN ID and a new PS3 account on the same PS3 and when I launched Deus EX HR , I'm no longer being able to unlock the Explosive Mission Pack. I've also used my BF3 online-pass on my previous PS3 account and now I can't even play the MP!!!

Please someone help me. I tried using the same code provided by Dues Ex and BF3 on the same PS3, but PSN Store says; the code is already used.

Please, please help me guys.

Put your old account back on your system and re-download the content. Go to users set-up a second user sign-up for PSN with existing account (your old account). All users including your new and old account can then access the content. Your old account will have to stay on the system for the content to work.

Re: Issue with redeeming my used code

you mean my old PSN ID right? What do you mean by re-download? You mean type in the redeeming code again?

Re: Issue with redeeming my used code

is it also possible to transfer the code I used on my old PSN ID to the new one? Or is it possible to deactivate it and then reactivate it using my new ID? I seriously don't want the old one lying around in my PS3 due to some strange unwanted reasons which I'm quite sure you don't want to hear about :smileywink:

Re: Issue with redeeming my used code

Once a code is used with an account, it is then paired with that account for good. If you want to use content from your old account, then you have to have your old account paired with a new local account on your console, and then re-download and install all the content from the PS store using your download history list.

hmmm... fine. But will the unlocked contents/online MP pass still work if I do as you said, and then remove the account where I used all my codes on (original PSN ID)?

If you remove your old account again you'll lose access to the store content and passes. Your old account must stay on the system for the content to work across accounts.
