Question about PSN + Store

[Nielsb90]

My parents just bought a PS3 for our beach house.. I already have 2 active PS3's from which I have downloaded my already purchased games, but I am thinking about doing it on this one too.. I also used to have a 60GB that broke, so I deactivated it..

My question is:
How many PS3's am I allowed to have active with the same games?

Does the PS3 that I deactivated count?

How many times can I download my games?

Thanks guys!

5 active ps3 under the same account, unlimited downloads.....so you can re-download games, mappacks, add ons, etc forever on up to 5 ps3's total

edit....now some games ie capcoms final fight only let you play them on one account within a 24 hr window, so if you played it on the ps3 at the beach house you cant play it at the same time on another ps3 and you wont be able to play it on another ps3 for 24hrs.....hope that helps

Thank you!

As long as my deactivated PS3 doesn't count I'm good!

in a effort to cut down on people "game sharing"

say final fight was what $15 so if me, you, and a buddy split the bill we all get to play but capcom doesn't get the money for 3 sold games. this way even though we all can play its just not as convenient.

I forgot to deactivate my ps3(s), and nows its telling my that I have 5 ps3 systems active to my account. by i wasnt aware of the active/deactive method. how can I re-download my games? or am I screwed?

how exactly do you "de-activate" a PS3?

Is deleting your profile off there by logging in and then deleting user enough or is there something else you have to do?

I'm not at home so I can't see exactly..but from what I remember all you have to do is go to your XMB where you go to sign in, after you sign in it will then be "Account Management" I forget but you should press or then a menu would pop up and one of the selections would say "Activate/Deactivate" whatever the case may be..
