Banned from PSN???!!!

gangadeen— you didnt get banned for gamesharing, its not illegal or frowned upon by sony. so idk what to tell you. its dumb to tell people that you did.. idk if your trying to sound cool or what but im not buyin it

I feel for you mate i really do, i've found that in the countries that Sony does not consider mass market they tend to treat the customers like sh*t. When one of my consoles broke they refused to fix it for free although i had purchased an extended warranty from them and they keep saying they would refuse so i simply got my mother who is a lawyer to call them and remind them of the trouble they would be in if they refused. Needless to say they repaired it but thats just my story of problems with Sony i reckon if i was an american (no offence to any american on here) they would have agreed straight away.

It's all good man i would be p*ssed if that happened to me as well especially if there was no explanation given.

its definitely not impossible (IP and Service Tag Filtering) but i would think it to be improbable. Are you back online yet?

First of all You did think of connecting to your account on any of the other consoles didn’t you? Or disabling the system activation on any of them? Try setting up a new account with a different email address etc. to see if it is possible to sign in with another account on that hardware? These would be the first things i would do!
 
What did Sony say when you contacted them? The contact number should be in the back of the operators manual that came with the console.
 
The error code 8002a227 is irrelevant no matter what you are told, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are banned, it just means you were unable to connect to the PSN network. I have had this code a number of times, mainly when COD:MW2 was released!
 
The downloading of movies would not interfere with your PSN account, it may cause lag but they are not to know that its not a bad connection!
 
Account sharing is also not a cause, you are only allowed 5 accounts it is not possible to register any more accounts than that. Therefore Sony are allowing gamesharing with 5 consoles (pending change to 3 consoles although this will not affect those that have already set up there accounts on 5 consoles)
 
Abusive/Insulting/Threatening behaviour will however get you banned and depending how serious it is, this could be indefinite. Voice Chats can not be logged until a complaint is received from another account holder, Text chats are retrievable. A complaint would have had to have been made against you in order for this to happen.
 
Modding/ Chipping a console to cheat online is also a banning offense#
 
In any case that you are banned you are normally given a warning beforehand through your registered email account, you will not just get banned and not be told otherwise!
 
Buying a new PS3 will not allow you to add a banned account in any case so contacting Sony would be your only means of getting this ban overturned if you were in fact banned.

Best of luck

e-mails are great.  they will arrive to their destination within seconds. 

however, that doesn't mean it will be read by the person the moment it arrives.

solution? 

try phoning a sony ps3 representative for a more 'instant' solution.
