How do I connect two PS3 to the same PSN account
I have two ps3's and wanted to know if I can connect them to the same PSN account as when I try to log the second one onto the account I created on the first one it says you cannot log onto someone eses account (or something like that). I set up a psn account on the second ps3 but want to use the same one as the first.
The first machine was switched off at the time; I want to be able to download purchases onto both my machines.

You can't log on to the same PSN account on two PS3 machines at the same time.
You can have the account present on both PS3 machines, but as you've observed, once you (try to) log on the second PS3 you get the error message, and you'll have to log off the first PS3 before you can log on to the same (with the same account).
As such, you will not be able to be logged in on two different PS3 machines with the same account.

Yes, what you want to do is create a new primary account with its own gamertag for the 2nd PS3 so that when it boots up it will load that profile, this will also let people play online games at the same time on both PS3s.Can you use the same PSN account on two consoles?
You can use your PlayStation Network account on two PS4s. You need to log in your PS Network credentials in two PS4s. After that, you can set up the other PS4 as your primary account, which would automatically tag the other PS4 as the secondary account, which would require an internet connection.Can I use my PSN account on another PS3?
Only one user per PS3 can be associated with one PSN account. A second user cannot have the same PSN account.

Yes, you will be able to play the games you downloaded on each console at the same time if you feel like it. Me and my son share a psn account, and I can download what he buys, and he can download what I buy. The misconception that you have to be logged in to play downloaded games is false. You can play games that are downloaded without even logging in. Both PS3's will have the same download list because they share one psn account but have different user names.....I hope this helps you out. Good luck and GOD bless...
