Awesome, not available in my country.

You can only deactivate your PlayStation 3 system from the PlayStation®Network using your PS3™ system. You cannot deactivate it using a PSP (PlayStation®Portable) system or PC.

Oh :/

 

[Baki]

The video store is buy-to-own/download and download rentals, right?

This is on demand streaming.

Of course, I can't be sure because we don't have any video service at all here

Ok...I see. I wonder why theres no UK presence. Us brits are quorious.

So if this is pronounced Cu-riosity what is Qore supposed to be, Cuore? Stop being Qunts Sony.

:lol :lol

 

[JaseC]

Weah, it's supposed to be "Curiosity," but I keep seeing Curio-city, Creo-city, Cryo-city and Queerio-city, probably due to an off-color joke I heard as a kid.

:lol

 

[tzare]

What is it with Sony not understanding phonics?

EDIT: WHOA-hoahoa this is interesting. It looks like you might be able to DEACTIVATE PS3s from this website?

you can't, it gives you a link to Playstation online faq. I hope they allow this someday though

 

[sweetvar26]

Awesome, something else Canadians get to miss out on.

Yeah fuck. May be I should just move back to the States.

 

[BeEatNU]

nvm

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

I know its off topic, but how easy is it to get my old dead system deactivated? I want to use the video store on my new one but cant deactivate my old system without calling Sony.

i think it is impossible without calling sony

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

i think it is impossible without calling sony

Thats what I thought. Anybody have experience calling them? Can I just ask them to deactivate my first system and be done with it?

If you have the serial number and your login info it should be pretty easy. At least that's what people are reporting.

If you have no serial number, then its a bitch.

 

[andycapps]

my tv has an apple tv and three gaming consoles hooked up.

something tells me none of the gaming consoles are going to run xbmc, so i don't think i'll be getting rid of the media center box

That sucks. But HTPC's are definitely going to be the way to go in the years to come.

 

[Neuromancer]

Qriocity killed the cat.

 

[jsnepo]

I have two PS3s activated. WTF!?

 

[Nemo]

Oh shit, so we can deactivate our PS3s now?

Waits for the inevitable moment when my shared games don't work anymore :lol

You've always been able to deactivate PS3s >.<

 

[Man]

So what is Qriocity? Does it stream videos? (I mean, it must separate itself from the PS Video store somehow)

 

[Nemo]

You've always been able to deactivate PS3s >.<

It's always tied to the specific hardware the activation is on though right?

Didn't know it lead you to a faq btw, so guess no outcry yet. Doubt Sony will allow this anyway as that would mean they will lose even more sales.

 

[yurinka]

-Does it means we will be able to see the PSP comics using the PS3?
-Will Qriosity be available in pre2010 FullHD Bravias?

Huh?

 

[yurinka]

Looks like it is a service that gives you access to the video, game, comics PSN stores using video on demand, so this stuff now also can be purchased or viewed in a 2010 Bravia TV, some BlueRay players, Vaios... I think they would expand it soon to other Sony gadgets.

 

[Automatisch]

It's basically impossible if you don't have it. I tried and was basically left with "welp you're fucked if you don't have physical access to the old machine" after talking on the phone for 30 minutes. It's really retarded that they won't let you just deactivate all systems from any PS3, or at least let you have the option to pick and choose like I thought this website would allow. That or fix the awful video DRM so that I can use it on more than 1 machine...

 

[AranhaHunter]

AFAIK Sony's Qriocity is something similar to netflix vod right? Where you pay a certain amount every month and you can stream an unlimited amount of videos. This would be a separate app compared to the videos you get on the PS Store which you can own and/or just pay to rent one particular video.

 

[OgTheClever]

Huh?

It means that people will be able to gameshare with more than 4 people without asking the previous sharees to deactivate the PSN account from their PS3 first.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

"The family of Qriocity services is not available in your country."

FUCK YOU! FUCK EVERYONE OF YOU IGNORING US CANADIANS!

 

[drohne]

qtrocity exhibition

 

[AranhaHunter]

I wonder if this will allow you to stream tv shows too like netflix.

 

[DonMigs85]

Maybe it's just me, but Qriocity.com no longer shows the PS3 and PSP in the list...

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Maybe it's just me, but Qriocity.com no longer shows the PS3 and PSP in the list...

doesn't show for me either

 

[mrklaw]

This is now live in the UK. I registered my TV and Sony emailed me a £15 credit. Offer is still open if you create a master account and link it to a device (I don't know if that include PS3s here yet)

It's ppv and the catalogue isn't great, but having it built into the TV is surprisingly convenient. Along with iplayer etc I think Internet video will be a must have for future Tv purchases
