Technical Help

Hi, I have a little problem.

I am on my last activation for my account and my US account is totally full.

Can I just also say that I have had  12 or 13 PS3 in my lifetime. Starting with a day one Japanese launch console that I paid close to 600 for and then the official uk 60, then a 40, and another 40 for down tairs, the an 80 for down stairs and an 80 gig for upstairs, then 2 120 gig slime, then 2 250gigs. Then I was unemployed for a bit and sold these, then I had another 250 gig and an 80gig and now finally I have just my 120gig slim. And will probably have another one before long when the new 320 gig bundle comes out. As you can see Sony has had a lot of my hard earned cash out of me.

What I want to know is that I was unaware about deactivating the PSN accounts untill recently.

I thought just deleteing the account password from the Playstation in question was fine. I had this problem before but I just thought my console was faulty and the girl at Sony said thats she's reset it. I assumed it was just an error. anyways to cut a long story a little short. I am very worried that if this console goes down I will not be able to get into my account any more like my U.S. one. I am only 20 or 30 quid down with my US account but my UK has nearly 250 quids worth of content. And the last time I phoned the SOny line he told me to just start a new account and remember to deactivate it. I said well thats fine for him and if he wants to give me 250 quid credit on my new account I would be more than happy to do that. Sureley there is something that can be done. Why should I have to loose all my content when its is not my fault. I have read all the manuals from cover to cover and no where can I see it saying please remeber to deactivate your console before you sell it.

I am so fed up really I am

PS cant wait for my new move controller to arrive.

If you've bought that many PS3's i'm pretty sure you can afford to re-buy your content.

contact the people you sold the older PS3 versions too and ask them to delete your accounts, I would say though having the amount of PS3's you have had you have more money than sence

I would also say that with the amount of PS3's you have had that the people you have sold to have already deleted your accounts.

Lesson to be learned here

Your only real option is to call Sony back, and throw yourself on their goodwill

As I am sure you are now aware, you can only have 5 activations per account, with each deactivation obviously reducing that total back down - I'm not quite sure how you have managed to get as far as you have already, having had 12 or 13 of them!

One other point to note is that it is against Sony T&Cs to have an account for a region that you don't live in - so unless you can prove dual UK and US residency, your US account really is likely to be a lost cause.
