2. Account management.

Astrolite said: Hey, thedrunken1? Is yours still working, cause mine has died again & I was stupid enough to put a disc back in... It worked all day Saturday and most of Sunday, I should of used the time to back up the HDD. I might just get a 40Gig modle and put my HDD in it(I might loose my 100 odd PS2 saves though).



nope, sent it to sony this morning, and good thing is i can still play in the mgo world championship too, just have to get my mates ps3 for whenever our next match is, im in the finals btw

just one question for anyone who plays mgo, can i still login to my account so i can use my mgo character on my friends ps3?, i read somewhere that its 1 account per ps3 or something like that but i cant find where i read it.

I dont see why it wouldnt work, just sign in with your Konami ID and stuff, and into your PSN aswell.

No you cannot, Sony Australia strictly only deal with Australian consoles. There is absolutely 0% chance they would even touch it.

Just keep trying to call up 3rd party repairers. There are HEAPS of people who would be willing to repair your console, you just need to know where to look.

But then it will still be active on that account, which will take a share away from me if i brought something or someone i got a psn game from

Well now i gotta deactivate my PSN, and the others
