    I have created a new sub account in the Sony Entertainment Network and created a new user with the same name.  When I try to play online it tells me I need to sign up for sony entertainment network.  what did I do wrong?

      The User’s name is not associated with a PSN account in any way.  Go into the User, go to “sign up for Playstation Network” but then choose “I already have an account” and enter the sub account details.

        in the “account management” under Play station network on the PS3?

      • http://ps3explained.com/ Flame

        No, go to the “Playstation Network” menu and choose “Sign up for Playstation Network” (http://ps3explained.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/01-sign-up-for-psn.jpg )

        Once that opens you should find the option for “Use existing account details” or similar, then log in with your sub account email and password.

    if you make a new user-account, and you want to sign in for PSN can you use the same Email and password as your first user-account?

    • http://ps3explained.com/ Flame

      You can only use a PSN Account once per PS3. If you have a second User you can sign up for another PSN Account but you need a different email address (email address is unique per PSN Account).

    I’m trying to login to my friends ps3 with my psn account. I’ve setup a new user, selected SIGN UP, selected USE AN EXISTING ACCOUNT, at this point it asks for my username and password, then says ‘you will now be sent a link to reset your password’ not what I wanted. Have tried resetting password, going through the above again, same thing! Is it possible to login to my account? And anyone know how to do it??

    Thank you
