Thanks: Gave 1, Got 8 | Wipeout to new PS3.
This might be a silly question but bear with me. I'm buying a new PS3. I know I can back up game saves to transfer to my new PS3 but how do I get Wipeout HD to my new machine? It's a downloaded game and, as I understand it, full games can't be backed up/transfered to new machines. Or can they? I'm confused!

If you sign in with the same PSN account (email and pwd etc), on the new machine then you can access the download history and download again.

For The Last Time.
Its not per item, each Account can only have 5 PS3's registered to use its content, and those 5 PS3's can download anything purchased as many times as they like.

Up to 5 machines can be activated under any one psn id, then games paid for by that psn id are downloadable and playable on each of those machines.

Yeah, there are games such as Warhawk where you have to be signed in to psn to play it, so it's tied to the one user...
Also Singstar is notorious for not working with game sharing. It'll only let you download to one machine i think, so if you get a new ps3, you can't download your songs to it - it doesn't even let you buy them again to redownload them!

So is there any way to check how many PS3s have been registered with your account?

I don't know of a way to check how many machines have been activated under your psn id... I guess sony assume we'll keep track of it ourselves? You'd know if you'd run out though - it wouldn't let you activate any more!
Apparently sony can clear all your activations for you if you lose track of them.

I now have my new PS3 but I am unable to transfer some game saves because they are "locked'. GTA worked fine, as did LittleBigPlanet. But games such as MotorStorm Pacific Rift and Rainbow Six LV 2 won't allow me to put them on my PSP for transfer across to my new PS3.
How do people get around this problem?
Thanks.
