Hi, I'm trying to deactivate a dead PS3. I went to the Website and it told me to deactivate it on the PS3 itself. That's not possible since it died over a year ago.

Go to account > Media and Devices > Game > Deactivate all Devices via Sony Entertainment Network. Then reactivate your current PS3 via the XMB.

Somehow one of my activated systems remained. I'm trying to activate video on my current one but it won't let me. :( Also, how do I deactivate the PSP since I don't currently own one?

Oh with the video, if I recall correcly the DRM on those is infamous. I think those are tied to the machine that bought them and only that machine; I guess that's their way of punishing you for even trying their terrible video service.

If true, that's a ****ing joke. Meh... I learned my lesson after my PS3 died and I lost all my movies. When I want to download a movie I'll just get it on Amazon. >_>

Go ^there and sign in with your PSN info and go through the setting and you can deactivate your consoles through the website once every six months...hint hint.

What? If you havent activated a psp on your system, then dont worry about it. But you can call Sony and give them your info and see if they can do it for you.
