You definitely cannot use the same account simultaneously on 2 PS3s as login in 1 will cause the other to logout automatically.

As for online pass I believe some games allow multiple usage on the same PS3. I have redeemed R1 online pass before and played with my R3 account. Can't remember whether I played it on my R1 account later and go online but if I not mistaken some games it'll work which means the online pass applies to the PS3 instead of account.

Correct, online pass tied to account which redeemed it. Once online pass redeemed by any account on your PS3(A), it will work across multiple accounts on SAME PS3(A). It will stop working for all users if account which redeemed it got deleted on that PS3(A). If you want play same game online on PS3(B), you MUST setup SAME account which used to redeem online pass on PS3(A), then re-download online pass from download history. Once online pass installed on PS3(B), it will work across multiple accounts on PS3(B) too.

As SSJBen and terryfu said you can't play online game using same account with different PS3 at SAME time. But you able play same online game using same account with different PS3 at DIFFERENT time, just make sure both PS3 setup same account which redeemed online pass and re-download online pass for second PS3. You might possible loss online profile if 1st play on PS3(A), then after that change to PS3(B) due to online profile save at PS3(A) and not game server.

Assuming you're on the PS3 slim (or phat, or super slim even, doesn't matter), vacuuming through the vents will pretty much do.... nothing.

There are no fans at the PS3's vents. The fan is next to the BD-ROM at the front of the PS3, there are small slits at the bottom of the casing.
Those slits are way too small for any dust to be sucked out anyways.

The ONLY sure fire way of removing dust from the PS3 is to open it up and cleaning it from the inside. A lot of the components are sandwich together, so even more reason that vacuuming through the vents just won't work.

So yeah, find a nice day... open it up, get a can of compressed air and spray away. Just make sure you don't spray into the BD drive.

Why mine didnt work.
Im using ps3 (a) to play fifa13 then after few months i buy ps3(b) and transfer everything..so my main ps3 now is ps3(b)
I tried to play fifa13 on ps3(a) using same account just different ps3 but it didnt work..im using the same fifa13 game(1fifa13 copy). I already redeemed the code at ps3(a) and download the code at psn store on ps3(b) and redeemed again


Ok it worked now..need to go psn store activate again
But do i have to activate it again if i change to ps3(b) back?

Yes, you will need to activate the DLC again if you switch between PS3s.

Uh you don't. Just check the BD if got any scratch. Not all games are sealed with strip. Different region, different style i guess.

Really..that's bad though. You don't know whether its really new or not unless if it comes with those strips.

Sometimes i wonder about this cause many seller claims it is new and sealed.

You can always seal back the games after you've played them and take good care not to scratch it. sweat.gif
