Huh. No waiver for gaming press? That kinda sucks. Have you tried calling them and telling them who you are and who you're with and what you do, Dale? Sure seems like there would be some kind of exception made in your particular case.
That's probably what I'll do. I used to have another PSP and my wifeh has two, so it makes sense.
Sucks for people like you, but I understand why.

You should be able to register each of your systems with SONY and have copies of your games on each. Wouldn't that solve the problem of game sharing, while still allowing households with many multiple systems to have their games on each?
might be nice if I could even sign in to playstation right now. I can't sign in to comment on the PS Blog or on the Starhawk forum. I've tried 3 different browsers and none of them will let me sign in. I suspect I"m not alone in having this issue as responses on the PS blog are minimal right now.
... THIS is the problem with having universal logins. It's just frustrating.

Has anyone tried deactivating a single console? The site basicaly says you cant do it frm the site and you have to do it from the actual console. WHAT THE HECK WAS THE POINT OF THIS THEN?
Yeah I did this over the phone with Sony a couple months back when I wanted to rent a movie and the PS3 that was activated for video rentals YLOD'd long ago.
It was painless. Less than a minute wait, helper was fluent in English, and problem was fixed instantaneously where both living and dead PS3s and PSP was deactivated and reactivated automatically with login to psn.

I guess I'm not affected, but that's some sucky suck. If I decide to get a Vita I will have to deactivate my PSP, but I suppose I'd do that anyway.
This is bs, a person should totally be able to make a single purchase with a friend and both parties should have simultaneous and full access to the product. That's how all purchases in the real world work right?
i just realized that corgis pics never gets old or annoying, i can see them a thousand times and still find it awesome!
I know future content cannot be shared on more than 2 systems and past content can be shared on up to five, but is it possible to reactivate more than 2 consoles if I deactivate it? I ask because I need to replace one of these systems I no longer own, but I don't want to stop sharing content on the rest of my activated PS3s. I have no idea which system is which on this site.

Unless you have two PSPs you won't have to deactivate it. You will be able to an activation on your PS3 (counting for one of the two console activations), one on your PSP and one on your Vita (taking up your two handheld activations).

Fuck that, I can't be arsed with jumping through all these hoops jusy to play my -purchased- games, I hope you're happy Sony!
so if say I were to own a ps3, psp and a vita I would not be able to activate all three?
hey guess who isn't going to buy a vita now! ME!

Hmmm....I don't know it I like this. I understand it, but the limit should be at least 3 for titles playable across the PS3, PSP, and PSV.

You can have all three devices (PS3, PSP, and Vita) activated at one time. You will be able to an activation on your PS3 (counting for one of the two console activations), one on your PSP and one on your Vita (taking up your two handheld activations).

So...how the fuck does this work, again? Because I tried using the website, and it says it can only be deactivated on the PS3---like the one I sent to Sony to get fixed, and the one I got back is a new unit, so I can't access my videos? BRILLIANT.
@EnoSachran
Did you try through the Playstation website or the linked Sony Entertainment Network website?

What if you have a PSP and a PSPgo and want to get the Vita, will they let you register your UMD's so you can repurchase them for the Vita if you have the Go and the Vita activated?
You can deactivate ALL consoles but not individual ones, so I understand.
It says I have 4 PS3's activated when I can only think of 3.
2 are mine and 1 is my buddy I used to live with...I think the 4th one might be my old HDD that I removed...hrm.
@dtomek
Lol, totally!

I was under the impression that those restrictions ONLY applied to purchases from now going forward and anyone with content before the 18th was grandfathered into the OLD agreement. Are they applying this retroactively now? Pretty dickish if so...
Just to point out, all this only involves our relationship to PSN--not Playstation or Sony as a whole. You can have a PS3 and play games
and movies without any involvement with PSN. One isn't losing out on Playstation functionality, just PSN functionality, and then unless you are a game reviewer I can't see it affecting many of us. I was irritated when I encountered the deactivation problem I mentioned above, but I was surprised to learn I could play my digital purchases on more than one machine. In my experience, that is actually Sony being nice. This new development is not Sony being mean, but less nice.

"I know that I'm not a typical case, but I have 3 PS3s and 5 PSPs, and I use them all for various purposes. You can imagine how happy I am about this change."
3 things went through my mind all at once when I read this:
1) Understandable
2) DAY-UM!
3) Well that f'ing sucks.

@Elsa you probably know this by now, but PSN was down for a 14 hour maintenance yesterday. That's why you couldn't login...
You still can't deactivate PS3 systems from the website. You need to physically go to the PS3 in question and deactivate it. This is bullshit.
Logged in to account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com. I have "My PS3 System" 1, 2, 3, and 4. Not a trace to be found which is which. Not even a serial number. Now what?
wait so you can activate on all 3 devices???(PSP,PS Vita,PS3)
since some people say handheld and PS3 are in separate so that means you only download the PSP/PS Vita Content on PS3 but activate it on the devices correct????
