Sony Changes PSN Policy Regarding PS3 and PSP Game Content

Sharing is a good but when it comes to gaming it gets even better. However, Sony has a different point of view about it, until now you were allowed to share games purchased on PSN up to five devices, but the recent change in the sharing policy has restricted the number down to 2.

SCEE has announced that as of November 18, a new policy will go into effect about the number of Sony devices that can share a game bought through PSN. This policy will only be applied on items purchased after 18th of Nov.

• PS3: Users will be able to play the game on up to 2 activated PS3 systems.
• PSP: Users will be able to play the game on up to 2 activated PSP systems.

So this means that whatever game you purchase from PSN will only be applicable on not more than two PS3s and same goes for PSP (note: The PSP rights include PSP-1000/2000/3000 series as well as the PSPgo system.).

PlayStation Network users are able to change the activation setting through each device, and Sony Computer Entertainment plans to provide a new PlayStation Network account management website where users will be able to deactivate particular devices attached to their PlayStation Network account via their PC.

For more details on how to activate/deactivate the devices, please read this guide or contact consumer services.
