How do I link my account to multiple playstation 3's?

[brendan93]

Hey guys. So I have a playstation 3, at 2 different locations. Currently, only one of them has FF:ARR installed. Just wondering how i can play ARR at both of them. Do i need to purchase another ps3 copy?

Thank you.

Don't think you can install the same license on two machines... seem to recall they get locked to the unit once registered. Or maybe it was your PSN account. Forget the details.

If each console has a copy installed though (like, for another player), you may be able to sign in as a guest on your account though like we can on the PC version. Not sure though... PSN accounts come into play with the console versions, so it gets a bit funky.

As long as you aren't logged in on one PS3, you should be able to play on the other. Just log in to your PSN account on your second PS3 and download the client through PSN. Then once installed, just log in to the game using your SE information.

One thing to note is that since user settings like hotbars and macros are saved locally, you won't have those on your second PS3 automatically. You'll either have to find a way to transfer the files or just duplicate any changes you make to game settings on one PS3 on the other.

It's the latter. Your game registration code gets linked to your PSN account, and each PSN account can only have one code registered to it.

Just to be clear, you won't be able to play on both PS3 simultaneously. You would need a second copy of the game and second PSN account for that. I don't think that's what you're asking, but I realized your first post was ambiguos enough that I thought I'd clarify.

Im looking on the psn store now... There's no free FF ARR client. Do i need to purchase another one? if so i guess ill just get the standard one right? (I have the Collectors edition on my other ps3)

Do you have a hard copy of the client? Use whatever method you used to install the game on your first system.

When you are logged in to PSN, is it in your Account Management -> Transaction Management -> Download List?

If not, you're probably going to need the hard copy you have.
