Default Downloaded Games Question

I have one PS3 that I have purchased downloadable games for. If I purchase another PS3 can I get those games to my other PS3 as well? Or do I have to purchase them again?

Try set the 2nd one with the same username or at least login to the PS Network with it, then browse to purchased games, you should be able to download them again from there at no extra cost that is...

sony is pretty leniant and they also want people to upgrade their hard drives for future services.

the whole playstation 3 network is considered an open notework, not restrictive like the 360, so its awesome

Your allowed 5...it keeps count/track on their servers.

Your on-line account management has an activate/deactivate this PS3 or PSP option which I believe is connected in with the authorization and de-authorization (ie. deactivate) of counts .. similar model to iTunes.
However I haven't tested the deactivate option to verify that..just an assumption on my part at this point.

Thanks for the quick replies. I want to sell my Sony Blu-ray S1 Player and get another PS3 for my main living room. This kind of helps my decision. The load times are amazing on the PS3 compared to the S1

The PS3 is 98% pleasure and 2% sweat. I'll take those kind of products all day long .

The only downloadable game that doesn't have multi-downloads is Warhawk.

That's why I bought the Blu-ray version..I won't buy any D/L's that restrict my usage that drastically. If they go that route in the future and withdraw disc versions then I won't be buying those products. Don't care how good the game is or isn't. I'm not a criminal .. don't treat me like I am .. especially when you punish me on top of it.

Ive downloaded Warhawk onto both my PS3's ... Whats the problem? You can only use it on one at a time and under the same PSN you used to buy it.
