Alright, you may be wondering why I'm posting a question concerning the PSN on darkspyro when my question is easily answered by googling it. Well, I'd like to know how many others have had the same experience and what they'd done about it.
In early 2007 I bought my PS3 and on the same day I was prompted to make a PSN account. Problem is that the account I created was co-created with my father's interest in mind. As a result, the online name is one that suits my dad and the e-mail address used is no longer in use and overrun with spam. So recently I created another to use. Problem is that the new account is refused by Sony's pathetic policy about one account per user and once an account is linked to a particular user there's no way of removing it. Unlike if your a Japanese Sony customer, you can change your online name and e-mail whenever you want. (**** you, Sony. I thought we'd at least be able to get something as simple as that when you were hacked back in 2011 as an apology.) Because of this, I haven't been able to use any of the online features and redeemable codes received with games since I bought the damn thing.
Long story short, what do I have to do to use the new e-mail address on my PS3 and will my previous purchases still be available if I create a new user with my new address?

You need to make a new account on the PS3 and then make a new PSN account on there. If you can download previous purchased on your first account, you can use them all on the second account because they're all installed on your system.

My apologies for such a late reply. I was thinking no one would give me an answer here.
Thanks, I thought so. Do you know if it's possible to delete my first account? And what will happen to my purchases if I do so? |

you can not delete a psn account, you can only remove it from your playstation system. the dlc will stay on the account.

Very important note!
If you remove an old user/account, its downloaded games and extra content will stay on the console, but trying to launch one of the games will prompt you to buy the game, since there are no users on the PS3 who has a registered purchase of the content. (I assume the DLC will simply be locked, haven't tried) You want to keep the old user and account in order to have your purchases valid, and set the PS3 to always start on the new user (or not start on any users at all). It doesn't matter which user bought the content, all others can access it, provided the buyer is still on the system.

Phoenix Crystal is the best unreleased Crystal. Skylanders Academy Season 2 was an improvement. I don't know what to think of Skylanders' future. |

You could always send Sony an e-mail asking them to allow you the account change and restore your purchases to the new one. They might ask for identification to verify, but as long as you roll with it and maybe throw in a "pretty please" or two they shouldn't be too hard-headed about it.
