Re: backing up psn games

The download limit dose not work like that. You can download your content as many times as you want but only on 5 different PS3's. So you are fine to delete them and redownload them.

No, you can download it as many times as you want!!

I know, simple question, how many PS3's have you signed in to with your PSN email address and password and then downloaded PSN games?

Re: backing up psn games

Right, so that is your one and only activation.

You get a total of 5 activations in case of a breakdown or theft.

Of those 5 activations you can redownload your PSN games as many times as you like.

Does that make more sense?

Re: backing up psn games

if yours is the fifth console that has your account details on it then you can redownload them as many times as you want, but if that console breaks and you buy another you will have no activations left, if you can i would try and deactivate a couple of the other ps3's before the worst happens, do you posses 5 ps3's in your household then.
