Need help trying to download a movie and it says it won't because I have a PS3 system already activated for my account?

Go to account management and activate your PS3 for games and movies. You are only allowed to have 5 PS3's activated at one time though.

I just activated games and than went to do it for movies and it said the samething.

Is this your first PS3 or do you have another one?

Dark Side · 09-08-2009, 06:24 PM

I had another and sold it to my brother.

Maybe you should try deactivating your PSN account from that system, assuming you're using the same account on your new one.

I'm not entirely sure, but videos may not work the same way as games where you can download on up to 5 different PS3's. They may be limited to just 1 system.

Either way, I'd deactivate the account from the other one if you don't use it anymore just because it fills up one of your 5 slots otherwise.

Do I deactivate it the same way or another?

Ya it's in Account Management just like the activation you did earlier. I don't remember the exact steps to take but it's pretty easy to figure out.

Note: if you deactivate your account on your brothers PS3 I don't know what will happen to any downloadable games you had on there (if any). May want to find out if those games will still work if your brother cares.
