I am either too stupid to search correctly or the answer to my question is not to be found on the internet. Likely the former. Lucky you<\/b>, you get to help answer my question and put and end to my fumbling ineptitude (in this particular instance–it will never cease entirely).<\/p>\n

I bought my PS3 some time ago used from someone on Craigslist, because I am both cheap and poor and don’t believe in paying full price for much of anything. I’ve been streaming Netflix on my PS3 as it is a quieter machine than my 360 and also my PS3 does not have that awful buzzing problem my 360 still has<\/a> and also sometimes I fall asleep while watching movies and the less I run my 360 unnecessarily the less I run the risk of the red ring of death. This has been just fine and dandy up until yesterday, when it was announced that the netflix streaming disc would no longer be needed, and instead a streaming program must be installed. Here is where the problem starts.<\/p>\n

In order to install the program, I must log in on the playstation network. The last guy’s email address was still there, so clearly this is something that has been done before on this console. I set up a new playstation network account on my computer, but when I attempted to login, the console informed me that I could not “log in with someone else’s account”. What? This is my account! So…how do I get my email address\/actual account associated with my PS3 so I can access the playstation network? Their FAQ has thus far proved useless–apparently no one else on earth has bought their system used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
