I'm giving away my ps3 so I did the quick format...but I can still log in and buy stuff on the PS store. I'm not sure how to disable my account from auto logging in on this system?

I took away privileges for playing/watching through account management deactivation but it didn't do jack.


Any help would be appreciated since I'm giving this to the place today.

Did the format delete your account? If not, delete your account.

 

[Wario64]

Uh, just delete the local user account

 

[oldmario]

go all the way to the left press triangle on your profile and delete it, all data related to the account and the account info should be deleted

That's what I am trying to do, but when I hit triangle to bring up the delete option it only gives me an option for more information.

Rename the account "Not my PSN account."

That should deter the next owner.

Log out of the user account, delete

Make a new user then delete your old user account. It won't let you delete if there is not at least one user on the system.

You also need to deactivate your account so do that before you delete it.

Log out of PSN, change the password.

Try it from their website: https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/login.action

Log in > Go to the Account Tab > Media & Devices > Game

From there you can "deactivate all" just to ensure that all of your consoles are no longer linked. From there, if you do have multiple consoles, it's just a matter of re-activating them on the console itself through Account Mgmt.

You formatted the hard drive, the accounts are saved on the on board flash. To wipe them you either have to delete the account on the XMB or do a factory reset to wipe the flash.

It worked! Thanks.


Sorry I know this might not be thread worthy but I was leaving in 30 minutes and googling was failing me.
