How to deactivate a dead PS3.
Archive: 10 posts
| Just thought I'd share this handy little bit of info, as I'm not sure how common knowledge it is (I didn't know about it until a friend told me). Basically, if you log into the "Qriocity" sony website ( http://www.qriocity.com ) - you can manage all the devices that your content is activated on. Every 6 months you can deactivate all 5 PS3's that you might have activated. This was handy for me as my PSN account started on my Brothers machine, that died, migrated onto his 2nd machine - then had it on my Flat mates PS3 - that also died. Then I bought my own - that also died. So I wasn't able to access my own content on my new replacement machine. I phoned Sony Support and actually ended up in an argument with a manager over the wording of a clause in the small print to do with account activation. They refused to deactivate my accounts and accused me of "gamesharing". Not once did he mention that all I had to do was log into Qriocity. FYI  | 2011-12-31 11:00:00 Author: Macnme  Posts: 1970 |

The Qriocity thing has only been running for 6-7 weeks after they changed the activation limit for new purchases. | 2011-12-31 14:50:00 Author: Rabid-Coot  Posts: 6728 |
| When i tried to deactivate my PS3's: You can only deactivate your PlayStation?3 system from PlayStation?Network using your PS3™ system. You cannot deactivate it using a PSP™ (PlayStation?Portable) system or PC. :/ EDIT: I see, gotta go to settings and there's a deactivate all button. Massive thanks mate. | 2011-12-31 16:30:00 Author: ryryryan  Posts: 3767 |
