Can I deactivate a PS3 I can no longer use?

Writer Matthew Barrera

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?

You will have to deactivate all devices

Log-in to your PSN account at 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.
