Okay well first the problem with Sony : Is since the release of the PS3 i've owned a total of 6 of them at different times, i had hardware issues with 2 new ones and 2 used ones the 5th one was traded just because i didn't have the money for a 360 and wanted certain 360 exclusives so i traded up for the 360 and later went back to my 6th PS3, However when i went to set up my original PS3 account it wouldn't work. When i called Sony they told me that my account was used on 5 other PS3's and i told them that they were mine and some were defective and one i traded, but they have a rule that you can't put the same account on more than 5 PS3 consoles. However i had a couple of hundred dollars worth of DLC on my PS3 account that was gone, and there was no way of retrieving that DLC for the new account that they suggested i start, and therefore over $200.00 dollars in DLC was gone forever. Now secondly: Okay i decided to keep the PS3 regardless of my account issue because i love there exclusives and the fact that the online was free, and i had the latest and greatest model the new PS3 slim 250gb, and from day one i had issues with the PS3 recognizing the controller, and i would always have to turn the PS3 on and off 2 or 3 times before the controller was recognized, then days later i got 2 black screens when trying to get my PS3 to power up, and mere days after that a variety of different games were freezing up, and the main characters in the game would stop moving or just spin around in a circle while i watched my character get gunned down by enemies. Well that was the last straw i packed up my PS3 stuff and swapped everything out for a new 360 Elite, and it even looks like they may have reengineered the latest 360 models now because it looks like the power brick was cut in half and the wattage read 110w, so it looks like they may have finally redesigned it to a point where it will last longer and maybe not get a RROD at all, i can only hope, by the way i have owned more 360's in the past then PS3's and i have always been able to use my same account and enjoy all the content i purchased, well anyway so that's the whole long winded story of how things ended badly for me and Sony.

HELLO : What are you talking about ? Sony said i cannot use my PSN account that i had on the other 5 consoles on the 6th console, they don't allow it, therefore i could not access any of my DLC that i bought because i could not get online using my original account. That spell it out a little better for ya'.

You could use that account just fine, but the DLC you have already downloaded on five consoles would not be free anymore. Thats what he is sayin, i think.

I find it odd how you keep swapping one for the other. Why not both at the same time? Or just stick with 1

Basically, you failed to deactivate the PS3s that you could deactivate and wound up in this situation, correct?

It's not odd, just bad luck with hardware, i had many 360's RROD on me and a few PS3's go black screen on me, actually i think owning both would be a waste of money, there game libraries are so nearly identical, it's not worth the cost for a handful of exclusives, if you have enough games and accessories to trade one for the other without anything out of pocket than thats what i suggest, i've done that when i've had to.

LOL - LOL oh man if you knew me you would never say that, my game consoles go from the box to the shelf and when not in use the controller and console get covered in the plastic they came in. When i trade a console in the game store doesn't even bother to check it because it already looks like it was new in the box and besides they know me and know how anal i am about taking care of my stuff. So your definitely way off base with that remark, i constantly get made fun of by family and friends about how anal i am with my stuff, even this very computer i'm typing on has custom made plastic covers that i put over it every time i shut it down. Nice try but wrong guy as far as that remark goes.

Er, you can get Sony to deactivate them for you. I should know because I've asked them to do it before.

keep trying to call sony, if you talk to the right person they can deactivate all your consoles for you. Who is this person? i don't know i don't have this problem, but i've read you can do it, just like xbox/itunes and pretty much any other type of system like this. (i read the sony one specificly so you can do it with them)

Either

1. Your trolling, which wouldn't surprise me

2. You buy from unreliable sources, your own fault

3. You get angry when noobs beat you onlineand throw your consoles off your roof

OR

4. You have the worst luck of anyone in the world and, becasue of this,have already diedin somerandomcar accident by the time I post this message

Personally, the fourth sounds fun to me.

i believe what he is saying i think going to the xbox 360 was a knee jerk reaction it happens alot with consumers :P LOL

but seriously the 5 download limit sony has in place is correct. But if you call them and explain the story they will deactivate the other downloads and you can get the DLC you paid for again.

If the person you speak to isnt very good then demand manager. It works!

In that case you have the worst luck in the world. My PS3 will be on for hours because people in my house dont know how to use it. I have young children at my house who like to play with it, and the controllers and i have never gone through multiple consoles.

not sure what is more unbelievable, your story or the fact that you think you'll have better luck with a 360.

quick question:
if you had over $200 of DLC on the playstation, why would you trade it in for a 360 in the first place? Im assuming you got around$200 for the trade in towards your 360, where is the logic in this exactly? and where did the 250GB SKU bombing come in?

[QUOTE="SuperNecro"]Basically, you failed to deactivate the PS3s that you could deactivate and wound up in this situation, correct?CODnut
Maybe so, i never knew how PS3's were deactivated or that they could be deactivated as you say, but none the less yes here it all done and said.

Well in that case you've serve us PS3 owner fine. Atleast now I know I have to deactivate my console in case of it dying out on me. On topic you must be very unlucky and should expect no better hardware from MS.

[QUOTE="CODnut"]Okay well first the problem with Sony : Is since the release of the PS3 i've owned a total of 6 of them at different times, i had hardware issues with 2 new ones and 2 used ones the 5th one was traded just because i didn't have the money for a 360 and wanted certain 360 exclusives so i traded up for the 360 and later went back to my 6th PS3, However when i went to set up my original PS3 account it wouldn't work. When i called Sony they told me that my account was used on 5 other PS3's and i told them that they were mine and some were defective and one i traded, but they have a rule that you can't put the same account on more than 5 PS3 consoles. However i had a couple of hundred dollars worth of DLC on my PS3 account that was gone, and there was no way of retrieving that DLC for the new account that they suggested i start, and therefore over $200.00 dollars in DLC was gone forever. Now secondly: Okay i decided to keep the PS3 regardless of my account issue because i love there exclusives and the fact that the online was free, and i had the latest and greatest model the new PS3 slim 250gb, and from day one i had issues with the PS3 recognizing the controller, and i would always have to turn the PS3 on and off 2 or 3 times before the controller was recognized, then days later i got 2 black screens when trying to get my PS3 to power up, and mere days after that a variety of different games were freezing up, and the main characters in the game would stop moving or just spin around in a circle while i watched my character get gunned down by enemies. Well that was the last straw i packed up my PS3 stuff and swapped everything out for a new 360 Elite, and it even looks like they may have reengineered the latest 360 models now because it looks like the power brick was cut in half and the wattage read 110w, so it looks like they may have finally redesigned it to a point where it will last longer and maybe not get a RROD at all, i can only hope, by the way i have owned more 360's in the past then PS3's and i have always been able to use my same account and enjoy all the content i purchased, well anyway so that's the whole long winded story of how things ended badly for me and Sony.

cool story bro
