Sony implements PlayStation Network sharing restrictions

Sony has implemented sharing restrictions on PlayStation Network (PSN) purchases.

Titles downloaded from the storefront after November 18 will now be limited to two activated PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable systems.

Games acquired before this date will not be affected. PS3 and PSP consoles can be deactived from a PSN account by following instructions on the PlayStation Blog.
"PlayStation Network users are able to change the activation setting through each device, and Sony Computer Entertainment plans to provide a new PlayStation Network account management website where users will be able to deactivate particular devices attached to their PlayStation Network account via their PC," read a statement from Sony.
Sony announced the changes to its sharing policy at the beginning of the month. The new system only applies to Europe, but it is expected to be introduced in North America and other territories in the future.
Earlier this year, PSN was rumoured to be receiving an image-driven redesign akin to Xbox Live and Steam.
