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.
Cool.
But.
Where are PSN Cards?
Nevermind, I figured this out. How is the team planning to provide functionality for this moving forward? Leaving messages for people on our friend’s list is obviously the next step but how are future features decided? How is user requested being gathered?
About the video store in canada, I don’t know why you guys are complaining, It was the same story with Xbox360.
I had one before i switched to PS3 and after they launched the video service i took almost a full year before we had it as well. If I remember correctly its long because they have to sign a deal for every studio with every countries to get a permit to sell that or whatever.
Takes a long time Plus we’re not that big of a market, So we’ll have to be patient.
For the PSN cards i think its a great start. Im guessing that this is the core structure and that you guys at sony intent to work on it and add features and stuff.
Does it work on this blog?
Ooops did my gravatar phail?
