Just finished loading all the Game Data for the games and logged in to Playstation Store to download my Game Packs on my new PS3 and now i can't activate my account as i have reached my limit - i didn't even know there was one or "activating" occuring, and i haven't actually game shared (suprise suprise lol) This is now my 4th PS3 (3x 60Gb - 2 broke) and i put my account on my friends to play while away on weekends.

Reading the forums it seems Sony can be fussy about this so going to ring tomorrow to see if they can clear at least one otherwise this is crap as i didn't even know you had to activate / deactivate.

Not very happy at the minute.

Ok I've got to give it to Sony UK again, they are more than happy to deactivate the accounts that were on the consoles that were returned to them. I tried to go back to the shop where I traded my PS3 in but they have already formatted my PS3 so i couldn't do it. Oh well i should be back online (on my PS Store account) in a couple days.

So this is just a warning for everyone!

DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE GETTING RID OF YOUR PS3!!!

That's a great reminder, Martin. I'm lucky enough to still be on my 1st PS3, but was aware of the five machine rule. Since I have 'game shared' a bit, I'll have to be careful.
