So if I get a new PS3, will I be able to use my old account and shit? I don't want to pay for all those games I bought off of PSN again. That's just not baller.

I think you can log onto your new ps3 and im pretty sure it'll download the games you need. I think, im not 100% sure. i could try it out on my friends ps3 if you like. though i wont see him for a few days.

dude, just realized that you need to call sony now if you have your password stored for you psn account, as they could log in as you and go into your account settings and access your credit card info (or at least they could buy games and shit on your card IIRC).

BTW, you can download all of your PSN purchases up to 5 times, so you're cool.

Everything should be fine, but there might be an issue with the downloadable WarHawk. I'm not sure whether the restriction just affects the other user accounts in the same system or whether you're restricted to a single account in a single machine.

Oh. Then he'll have no issues with his original account, as far as I know.

i had the 20 gb jap ps3 and i sold it for a uk 60 gb machine you just sign up to psn with your existing account as for warhawk it works fine with the account it was bought off if you download it to another ps3
