You can deactivate PS3's online if you have too many activated

 

[ryne candy]

You're confusing me? A system/console is "activated" once you sign into PSN using your PSN credentials. If you have logged on to a second PS3 using your RyneCandy log on that PS3 becomes activated on your account. I have no idea what you're referring to with purchase dates. Activation only applies to PSN downloads.

When I look online it only shows one system activated (has 1 picture of a PS3). I'm assuming one picture of a PS3 online stands for 1 PS3 system. When I look on her account online, it doesn't show any picture of a system. I can't find out how to know which system that picture represents. This is the picture that I'm talking about under Account Settings...and the picture of the PS3 isn't clickable, so I don't even know how to deactivate a system.

EDIT: Figured out where the system listings was located and how to deactivate.

Sony is going to start offering a 10% discount on select digital retail games for PS+ members.

It wouldn't be enough to pull me away from deals at Best Buy, but it's a step in the right direction to make their digital download service competitive with other retailers.

I thought I read somewhere that you also get some exlusive stuff as well? Any word on if you can pre load the download and it activates at midnight on release day?

lso, you were correct. I was able to install the four DLC packs on my wife's PS3. Awesome.

From what I read, Sony allowed people to pre-load Borderlands 2 so they could play it at midnight. It would be awesome if they started doing that for all of their upcoming releases.

Limited-Time PlayStation Card Offer: 12-Month Plus Subscription & $50 PSN Code

Hello PlayStation Nation! I hope you’re a fan of PlayStation Plus and free video games, because you may have just hit the mother lode. We’ve been working tirelessly with our friends at Capital One to put together a special PlayStation Card offer for our community, and I’m excited to finally share the details. For a limited time, new cardholders will get a 12 month subscription to PlayStation Plus AND a $50 PlayStation Network code after first purchase (and yes, before you ask, the 12 month PlayStation Plus subscription stacks if you are already a Plus member).

As you might recall, last year we launched the PlayStation Card – a credit card designed specifically for our PlayStation community. With it cardholders get:

10x points on ALL PlayStation Network purchases
3x points on ALL PlayStation and Sony purchases at Sony stores and Sony.com
3x points at quick service restaurants, movie theaters and on your mobile phone bill
1x points on all other purchases

And now, on top of the points you can earn, new cardholders will receive a 12 month PlayStation Plus subscription and a $50 PSN Code after first PlayStation Card purchase. With PlayStation Plus, you get:

An Instant Game Collection, which grants you access to a library of blockbuster games like inFAMOUS 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Borderlands, and many more.

Exclusive early access to select game betas and demos

1GB of cloud storage to save games online

Full game trials

Discounts on select PlayStation Store purchases

Automatic PS3 updates

And, once you receive the $50 PlayStation Network code with this offer, you can spend those fifty bucks however you please on the PlayStation Network!
When you combine the discounts you can take advantage of as a PlayStation Plus member, the $50 PSN code you can get to spend on the PlayStation Network, and the 10x points you earn from using your PlayStation Card in the PlayStation Store, you’re looking at some serious benefits.

This is the first time we’ve been able to put together such a special offer, and it’s our way of saying “thank you” for being such an awesome community!

If I can't say it's irony, I'm going with hubris.

Dizzle, you don't even have a credit card, do you? Now's your opportunity.

Sony Reveals the Newest Perks for PlayStation Plus

Beginning today, October 16th, North American PlayStation Plus subscribers are going to get a host of new perks, in addition to some perks already in existence that will stick around past that date. New PlayStation Plus perks have yet to be announced in other territories.

For starters, PayDay: The Heist, the cooperative robbery/crime shooter, will be completely free to download. We liked PayDay when it was released on PS3 a year ago. Additionally, The Unfinished Swan, which we gave a 9.0, will be available early to PS+ users for $15. It’s available to everyone else next week.

But wait, there’s more! A new beta for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale becomes available today for PlayStation Plus users. Players can use either PS3 or Vita, and play in 2-on-2 and free-for-all matches over PSN. The same six characters from the previous beta – Colonel Radec, Fat Princess, Sweet Tooth, Sly Cooper, Parappa the Rapper and Kratos – are the six characters included in the beta.

Finally, the following games and DLC will receive discounts for all users, while Monster World IV and SEGA Rally Arcade will receive steep discounts only for PS+ members.

PS3 Games: Amy, Costume Quest, Dead Nation, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Dead Space 2, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, Infamous: Festival of Blood and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

Vita Games: Plants vs. Zombies and Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack.

DLC: Call of Duty: Black Ops (Rezurrection), Costume Quest (Complete) and Zen Pinball 2 (The Paranormal, Sorcerer’s Lair and Plants vs. Zombies tables).

Glad I waited on Tales from Space: Mutant Blob Attacks. I had thought of buying it 2 weeks ago but thought it might be included free when PSN Plus is extended for Vita; <$4 is good enough for me.

Ima buy a lot of shit for once.

I don't think that's the Vita one and I didn't think the Vita was supposed to be included in PS+ until November?

 

[Twigg4075]

LOL at Dizzle having the time to groan me for an old ass post but no time to upload a podcast that is approaching a week old.

I was willing to wait....and it was for Vita, I DL last night. I'm hoping for a discount on Retro City Rampage by years end...since there is no MP, I'm in no rush to grab it.

So what was the other one then that came out first?

Edit: Never mind, got it. First one was Tales from Space: About A Blob.
