How to Deactivate a Game on PSN PS3

The PlayStation 3 system has a game sharing feature that lets you share games that were downloaded from the PlayStation Network with other PS3 users. To share the games on your PS3 console, you must add your PSN user account to the PS3 console that you want to share with. You can only share your games with up to four other PS3 systems, meaning that you must deactivate your user account on one system if you want to share with an additional system. In order to deactivate game sharing on a PS3 console, you must log in to the PSN account tied to the game sharing feature on the console that you want to deactivate and deactivate the console through the XrossMediaBar.
