EU PSN Terms of Service changed, only 3 activations allowed
Until now, you were able to share PSN games 
with up to five of your friends. Also known as ‘game sharing,’ this PS3 feature was perfectly legal along with Sony even mentioning it here and there. But now it seems as though Sony has tightened up the ‘game sharing’ rules.
But now you can only share games on up to three PS3s now. Users with less than 3 systems activated should be safe, however if one system is deactivated, it can no longer be activated again.
Although the US Terms of Service still state that “You can download the title to up to 5 different PLAYSTATION 3 systems” the EU Terms of Service now states only three.
• In-game items or content that you have purchased may be downloaded from PlayStation Store. Pursuant to the particular terms of use that govern a specific in-game item or content you have purchased, you may use that item or content on up to three (3) different PlayStation 3 systems that have been activated for your account. You may deactivate or activate specific PlayStation 3 systems, as long as the maximum activated number of PlayStation 3 systems for your account at any given time is three (3).
• There are two sets of usage schemes for content, corresponding to two categories of in-game items and other content that you purchase.
• The first category, called Network Content, can only be accessed by one activated PlayStation 3 system per day and only by the account through which the Network Content was purchased. Network Content cannot be used on two different PlayStation 3 systems within a twenty-four (24) hour period.
• The second category, called Local Content, once installed on a PlayStation 3 system by the account that purchased it, can be accessed by other accounts on that same PlayStation 3 system.
UPDATE: The recent discussion on the Sony Terms of Service update was all for nothing. It has been confirmed by MusterBuster on playstation boards that the number is actually staying at five, the three was ‘a typo‘.
