Temporarily Reactivate Your PSN Content with a Backup of 'act.dat'

[Cyberskunk]

For those of you like myself who may have accidently deactivated their PS3 it is not all bad..

I've figured out you can temporarily reactivate your PSN Content and it is as simple as transferring your backup of..

'act.dat'

to this folder on the PS3..

'dev_hdd0\home\00000001\exdata'

It will be reactivated until you restart the PS3 again..

So go and backup the 'exdata' folder now if you haven't already..

EDIT: Added to the 'HOW TO' sticky here

That did the trick for my downloaded games, too bad you can't edit the file permissions and the PS3 keeps deleting it.
