Sucks that you lost all of those through a burglary dude.

Same. Did GAF crash SEN lol.
Burglars were Sony fans it seems lol. My Wii--tee hee--and 360 were left untouched! Though they did take an old, white DSlite.
No worries. I got most of it back through renters insurance. But burglars and thieves are scum most definitely.

log into SEN. under account you can deactivate all ps3 game content. you can deactivate every 6 months.
I think it's good to know that you can only do that like once a year unless they changed that.

Two things I recommend:
1. Call Sony and have all of your systems deactivated immediately. If they direct you to the SEN portal, tell them that you are having trouble accessing the site, and they should (hopefully) be able to handle everything over the phone.
2. Change your PSN (SEN) account password ASAP! This is especially helpful if any of your PSN accounts are set to auto sign-in.
Once every 6 months. I verified it. Did it once in November, and got the option to nuke again.

Once every six months if you do it from the SEN portal. If you call Sony, they can do it at any time as long as you can give proper justification. I personally recently went through system activation/deactivation problems in August.

The option to deactivate a PS3 through the SEN page it's so helpful, I did it once and I recover my lost activation!

Yeah the SEN server lets you reset them all every 6 months I believe, it's amazing that it took Sony so long to allow an online option as their SUPPORT team are normally quite reluctant to deactivate machines if you are not still in possession of them.
Nope, you have to call for that
I was activated on 5 systems.
1. Mine
2. My GF
3. My best friend (for when I was at his place)
4. My parents house
5. Another friend
Friend 5 turned out to be a mistake to put my tag on, as he later sold his console. He deleted my name off there, but failed to deactivate my account from it.
Later, I got yellow light of death. sent my system in for repair, and they completely replaced it. When trying to set up my account I had reached the limit.
Called Sony, managed to talk a rep into deactivating all 5 so I can start from scratch. It took quite a bit of convincing. She was only going to let me deactivate 1 from the Yellow light of death but ended up being an awesome customer service rep in the end.

you can remotely deactivate all systems tied to your account through the playstation website, but if you only want to cut a single system you need to call them.
