I see how it prevents people from copying them multiple times then sharing them out but my hard drive has gotten corrupted once and I upgraded my hard drive but cannot install again... lost a few games... meh digital games = BS

Always thought it was download/install them on 2 different systems. Not just 2 times total o.0

I've only ever had 2 PS3 consoles my 60GB Fat which got the YLOD and my 160GB Slim which I upgraded the HDD to 320GB which got corrupted and I just got a 500GB but can't install some of the games again :( because I have already installed them twice.

I've been downloading all my PS+ games again taking ages I think those games are also 2 times... so if I got the PS4 or wanted to upgrade the HDD again they wouldn't let me install them again since I used my 2nd install...

Hmm, it may very well be because of the 2 system thing. Which extremely sucks. They really should have went with 2 accounts and not 2 systems.

I'm surprised I'm the only one who knew this. I mean, Grice already said in a EpicBattleCry once that he contacted Sony, upon which he suddenly discovered they have it in fine writing you won't always be able to redownload your games.

Hey Gabriel, I think that the game can only be activated on 2 devices. I think you might be able to deactivate the game on certain device and than activate it on another. im not sure if it works, but here is a guide on how to do that. Let me know if this helps at all, i havent tried it. http://uk.playstation.com/psn/support/ps3/detail/item308379/

If you are not able to do it from the device, it sayd you can do it from their website where you login https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/external/auth/login.ac...

As far as I understand it's saying you can only have things on 2 devices at the same time, not 2 installs on the same machine. It used to be 5 but they lowered it to 2 to stop people from game sharing.

@RandyMarshBEER: I logged into my account online and managed to deactivate all my devices (can only do this once per 6 months) I had 3 devices for some reason not sure why tho... I then activated my PS3 console but it is not letting me install it still :/ might have to wait a few days or maybe need to download it again.

Hopefully it will work, cheers for the info! :)
