We wanted to share with you the new ability to add more convenience to your PLAYSTATION Network experience by linking your PlayStation Underground ID with your PLAYSTATION Network ID.
The PlayStation Underground is the community of PlayStation fans you join by creating an account on PlayStation.com or by registering a PlayStation product. As an Underground member, you can participate in community forums and manage your account on PlayStation.com. Underground members are also kept “in the know” about new games, hardware, events and contests—so you can maximize your PlayStation experience.
Linking your IDs is a new feature on PlayStation.com that allows you to make the connection between your Underground ID on PlayStation.com, and your PLAYSTATION Network ID that you use for online gaming. So, for example, the people you play with online (using your PSN ID) will be able to read the forum posts you’ve made on PlayStation.com (using your Underground ID) and see that you are the same person. Once you’re linked up you’ll also receive a PSN ID graphic including your Avatar and “About Me” Message that has been made portable for the Web.
Having an ID that you can post on your favorite social networking sites and gaming communities allows you to amp up your visibility throughout the PlayStation universe. You can use your beloved (or feared) PSN ID wherever you go on the web and everyone from your buddies on your Friend List to newbie gaming challengers will know you by your PSN ID. For complete details, go here and read all about it. From there, it’s pretty easy to get started linking up.
I like the idea of linking, but currently, my psn to psu linkage is having a problem.
i like this!
Kind of old news lol. When was the update last week?
Still an awesome feature though :)
It seems to me the Portable ID does not update on what game you are playing?
fourth comment :D
nice, hopefully they work on loading trophy information faster next, i wanna see sum1’s trophy but it just takes forever.
That’s cool… I already did it when comes the first day of it…
@eric

@Sony

^^^
5th :(
I’ve done this already, I wish in the future my portable ID will show which game I’m playing.
This is great!
One thing though, I linked the wrong PSN id. Is there any way to unlink it? There was no confirmation page and it didn’t show what PSN name I was linking. It just did it and I can’t fix it. Help!
the feature is nice not one of the things on my list but always nice to get a new feature so im not complaining already linked mine acouple days ago or was it yesterday?
I like this the feature added to the PlayStation community and PlayStation Underground. I was really looking forward for this. Now what we just need are more PLAYSTATION NETWORK avatars, and PlayStation HOME.
@7
I am in ie and i actually made a thread in the forums on this…lol…check it out if you want :)
Good move by Sony.
Viewing the Friends List online doesn’t always work though. Worked fine for a day or two, then it went back to giving me instructions on how to link my ID…even though i’ve already done it.
I linked my account and everything went wrong! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Video store in Canada plz!!! We’re ready to spend money in ur video store! Where is it!
well, i think we need a Trophies section in the personal webpage too.
We\’re always looking to improve the user experience. We\’re listening to everyone\’s feedback and we have a long list of features coming to the PSN – linking your ID on the web is just a first step.
