PSN Download Limit - 5 Consoles?

I've read that with gamesharing, you can download to 5 different consoles, or rather you are limited to creating your PSN account on 5. I don't gameshare, but due to broken PS3's, I've downloaded to 3 consoles already. Is there any way to deactivate the downloads on the broken PS3? You seem to have to go into Account Management and deactivate from there, but I obviously cant do that on the broken one.

Couldn't find anything about this using the search.

Dunno, I would suggest phoning sony 08705 998877. They may be able to do something to de-activate all systems associated to your account & then you can just re-activate the one you're using.

Yeah, give Sony a call and they should be able to re-credit you your previous 3 downloads. They pretty much intimated they could do it when I had a problem with Warhawk.
