HELP ASAP!!

Please! :'(

Hey guys.

 

I recently bought a new PS3 and went into my store to download all of my Map Packs but I get the error

 

'This PS3 system could not be activated. This content cannot be used.

Your account already has 5 PS3 systems activated for game content. To activate this PS3 system, you must deactivate another PS3 system.

For details, refer to the "System Activaton" secton on the online manual'

 

I'm not sure how I have 5 systems activated? I only have 2 PS3's but I obviously cannot deactivate them because I'm not sure who it is using my account..

 

I've changed my password etc but still can't download anything :smileysad:

 

I really need help ASAP, have over $300 of downloadable contect on the PSN, games, map packs, etc..

 

Please use plain text.

Re: HELP ASAP!!

Have you activated your account on a friend or family member's PS3 or given your account details to someone else?

You can deactivate Game and/or Video content on PS3 systems by signing into your PSN account on the system you wish to deactivate and selecting Account Management > System Activation.
Please use plain text.

Hey BzerrK,

What you can do is goto HERE and sign in. Once you sign in, go to the account. Once you click on account, down the right hand side choose Media & Devices. When you click on the Game it will give you the option to deactivate your consoles. It does advise you this but you can only do this once every 6 months.

After you do this I would also make sure you are the only one using this account.


Hope this helps.
