What would be the worst in being banned?

[Kennerc]

A serious question here.
Yesterday I came home to find my kid playing Little Big planet online, he probably don't know how he did it, since I teached him only how to start the single player story mode, but he was really happy about playing with someone else.
Of course he didn't do the r2+triangle and now I'm at the mercy of Sony entertainment.
I don't play online at all, and I only connected to the PSN in order to activate the system, the PSN account is a throwaway, and the only thing that I would miss in case of a ban would be the rap activation, which I think could be circumvented with the PSNreact app.
So, if I don't care about the account, what would be the worst in being banned.

One way is, If you backup your dev_flash2/etc/xregistry.sys (account info and settings for all users) and your act.dat (activation data for 1 user) then you can restore to an activated state without PSN.


I recommend backing up your full dev_hdd0/home/ folder too so you have the full folder structure for all users to match the xregistry.sys.

If I had to format and restore those folders I would keep all users and saves intact?

Yes, think of those folders like a snapshot or savestate of all user account info, licences, all system settings, and all activation data and saves, web browser bookmarks, homepage etc. Everything except actual game/application/Media data basically.
