Ps3 – deactivate a PS3 I can no longer use

ps3

I have an old PS3 that no longer boots (yellow light of death). I haven't yet reached my limit of activated PSN devices (as I understand there's a limit to how many places you can download content).

Can I deactivate this device remotely? Similar services like Amazon MP3/Kindle let me remote access remotely. Can I do that? Does it matter for the number of activated devices?

Best Answer

You will have to deactivate all devices

Log-in to your PSN account at https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/login.action Click on the Account tab on the top of the screen and then choose Media and Devices on the left side. Four boxes will appear on the right: one for Video, Game, Music and Comics. Click on the V symbol in the Game box and then choose Deactivate All. Click Yes to confirm deactivation.
