Sony attacks game sharing pandemic,

Sony's changed it's mind -- you can now only connect your PlayStation Network account to two consoles. (How to deactivate your account, too)

Following a recent change, Sony has prevented its users from connecting more than 2 devices to their PlayStation Network account.

The Japanese tech company has also limited the number of consoles users can play new PlayStation store games on to two. 

The BBC reports that the change only affects games that have been bought through the PlayStation Store after the 18^th of November.

Revealing the changes in a blog post, Sony said that the change will also be mirrored on the PlayStation Portable – Sony PSP for us in the know. Games for the handheld will also only be able two devices. 

To sum things up for you, this means that a single PSN account can be liked to a maximum of 2 PlayStations 3’s, and 2 handhelds.

Prior to the 18^th of November, many users took the initiative to activate their account on several consoles. This meant that many users were effectively able to get games for free – so long as one of the accounts activated on the machine had purchased the game.

At the moment the change affects customers in the UK, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the Middle East. But US users shouldn't rest on their laurels -- it's thought that the tech giant will soon roll the changes out to its other territories.

If you’re struggling to deactivate your account on your mates device, follow this quick guide.
