Wed like to inform you of some upcoming changes to the usage policies for PlayStation Network game content. As of November 18, 2011, the number of devices that can be activated on one PlayStation Network account for game content purchased from the PlayStation Store will be updated as follows:
For game content purchased after November 18, 2011, a new policy will apply and the number of devices that can be activated will be as follows:
PS3: Users will be able to play the game on up to 2 activated PS3 systems.
PSP: Users will be able to play the game on up to 2 activated PSP systems.
Please note that this update will not affect game content purchased before November 18. The PSP rights include PSP-1000/2000/3000 series as well as the PSPgo system.
PlayStation Network users are able to change the activation setting through each device, and Sony Computer Entertainment plans to provide a new PlayStation Network account management website where users will be able to deactivate particular devices attached to their PlayStation Network account via their PC.
Goes by purchased by the date, not by activations (concerning 5/2 rule)

Only for games purchased after Nov 18th. Either way, you're gonna have to abide by the 2 activations rule.

Nuke your account when you really need it, there's really no point doing it now unless you're playing gamesharing shenanigans and own 5 PS3s in your home....
So if I wipe all of my activations, I'll be able to re-activate my PS3 right away? I have a ton of content so that shit freaks me out. I need to do it, though, I'm at 4 systems since I foolishly gameshared with a some people a few years back. Asked the bitches nicely to deactivate, but of course they wouldn't.

I wonder how PSN+ titles take effect?
From June 2010-Nov 2011 5 activs, now 2, I'm guessing

5/2 (Pre-11/18/11, Then afterwards) Rule as Wario stated
Snuggler said:
You should be able to since you start from scratch. Do it now and make them cry.
GraveRobberX said:
You mean the free PS+ stuff? Wouldn't matter since it was only free during the period it was free, you won't be able to redownload that stuff anyway. Stuff purchased on discount from PS+? Those would still be under the 5 activation rule since they're purchases.

Might have to call for video deactivation. You're only allowed 1 Video activation.Killthee said:
On a side note. Deactivation works just as planned. Back to One activation again.

Ok, kind of confused about this. Apparently I have five activations, so do I have to deactivate since it's above two?

so any purchases I make today will have 2 activations? I knew I should have purchased some stuff on Wednesday but I forgot the store would be down all day Thursday >_<

Sorry it was $3.70
So the real $64,000 question + gonna take a bullet for this lol
If they clean wipe, can they activate 5 PS3's again?, if this is some grandfathered bullshit, then there is glitch in the matrix
That means only 2 PS3 accounts active and any PS3 that are running content before 11/18 will run, but first to play/activate game on those PS3's get the allocated activations

btw
You are about to deactivate all devices on your account for game media.
This action can be performed only once every 6 months.
To play games that were previously downloaded, you will need to activate a device from the [Account Management] menu on the device.
Are you sure you want to continue?
I just cleared everything and Activated ONE PS3.

Only way to deactivate is you do full wipe of activations, all PSP's/PS3's regardless
My scenario
Once I have done the full wipe, can I activate again my 3 PS3's (5 being max just like the good old days) again and let them run content before November 18th, and then use 2 of those "5" PS3's to run content on my PS3 for shit after the 18th
Before I get the 3 PS3's and youtube video from someone, bro has fatty 60GB, 2 slim, 1 is for 3D gaming, 1 basic gaming, fucking bitch to convert signals

yep, I can finally get rid of the one dead activation that was my original PS3 that got stolen
I had three activated PS3s on my account and honestly have no idea what the second one was (maybe my sister's? but I remember deactivating it...)
GraveRobberX said:
I think that's how it works. First 2 PS3s to activate a game purchased after the 18th will be your 2 slots.
Now that I think about it, this sounds like a huge clusterfuck but I guess this is what you get for circumventing their system

So next round of deactivation's for some of you is in May 2012
