What happens if I am in GAP and do not have a PSN account. Will I lose being in GAP but when I make a PSN account I get my GAP badge back or would it be gone for good?

skaterricky  |  November 19th, 2008 at 10:57 pm

Thank You for Lessening to my Post’s about the Link between PlayStation.com and the PlayStation BLOG and using our PlayStation PSN ID’s…

Will get rid of our SPAMMERS

Wheels86  |  November 19th, 2008 at 11:05 pm

Awesome news cant wait to check this out

shystie1  |  November 19th, 2008 at 11:24 pm

Dang! I was almost a 128 bit. I should have gotten the rank any time. rrrrrrrrr! So close but still so far. That stinks! I hope what your giving us in return is well worth it Sony.

So are we going to be able to send messages and receive messages from PSN Friends now?

Evildude  |  November 19th, 2008 at 11:26 pm

Sweet!!!
SONY is the best, thanx for all the good stuff and plzz keep it coming…

starblinky01  |  November 19th, 2008 at 11:31 pm

sweet! I just got my email, hey I still wear that GAP T-Shirt you guys sent me.

EvoAnubis  |  November 20th, 2008 at 12:06 am

Most excited about being able to log in here on the Blog with my PSN Callsign, which should be incidental to me considering that they are identical. I am EvoAnubis everywhere I go online.

I linked my account months ago, and just saw the GAP notification in my inbox 20 minutes ago. Glad to see more features rolling in!

sarynthra  |  November 20th, 2008 at 12:10 am

cool, been waiting for an overhaul, I love where sony is going with everything, it’s all coming together!

Cloud Stife  |  November 20th, 2008 at 12:55 am

this is awesome,keep it up sony

Kevyn.B.Grams  |  November 20th, 2008 at 1:06 am

Keep bringing the goodness. The built in web browser is a major advantage over other HD consoles on the market, and things like this will continue to help the Playstation brand grow its community.

DaiSenshi  |  November 20th, 2008 at 1:23 am

Id love to reg for a playstation network account but I live in Japan and the only Language option is Japanese, but I don’t speak Japanese…Any way around this?

KingFrak  |  November 20th, 2008 at 1:32 am

yes i linked my account “KingFrak” a long time ago

KingFrak  |  November 20th, 2008 at 1:33 am

@Daisenshi

register for a US playstation account.

zyxses  |  November 20th, 2008 at 1:38 am

Can I assume that the Playstation Blog will be FULLY PS3 browser friendly now?

G Baby  |  November 20th, 2008 at 2:48 am

nice and plus playstation home and killzone

Gibb  |  November 20th, 2008 at 3:24 am

Very nice…

Online trophy information soon I hope?!

LeonBlade  |  November 20th, 2008 at 3:48 am

Sounds good!

And we defiantly need a way to show off our trophies online on the web, not just on our PS3s.

arabek  |  November 20th, 2008 at 4:12 am

Susan, will you be releasing the login-plugin/module to the world, so other Playstation centric blogs around the planet, could use psn to authenticate it’s users?

Apnomis  |  November 20th, 2008 at 4:36 am

Just so I understand this, does this mean we will be able to have the “Profile” you see on your PS3 and use it on other websites in your signature? Or do you have to log into the website to be able to see it?

Will it also track your Trophies like the PS3 version? It would be nice to have an automatically updating signature in forums that tracks games played, trophies won etc.

Sounds like this is a first step to that…

Out of interest does this only apply to US residents or will it be a global system?

r-nice  |  November 20th, 2008 at 4:36 am

Slowly but surely it improves.

neo_bahamut  |  November 20th, 2008 at 5:03 am

great news!

TheZed  |  November 20th, 2008 at 5:21 am

I like it. Moving to one ID for everything PlayStation is the right way to go.

Where I work I am on the IT team moving our company in the same direction for all the employees IDs. Good to see a small company of 1,000 is on the same page as the millions of PlayStation users.

playfire.com  |  November 20th, 2008 at 5:53 am

Wow! Awesome.

Real Gambler  |  November 20th, 2008 at 5:56 am

This has been ask many times before but never answered as far as I know.

I had two Underground account, and sadly, I’ve linked my PSN account to the wrong one. Is there a way to unlock the old accound, and link my other one instead???

Thanks

GGCAN  |  November 20th, 2008 at 6:00 am

Thanks Susan.

Sounds like great things are coming; keep up the great work !

kassasah  |  November 20th, 2008 at 6:17 am

Really Cool

killthim  |  November 20th, 2008 at 6:24 am

i wish i had HOME =(

scorpio  |  November 20th, 2008 at 6:37 am

Great job guys….

Keep up the great support…

kspraydad  |  November 20th, 2008 at 6:37 am

Ugh…4 pages of people talking to themselves. Why is it when these blog entries are from SONY employees with Senior in their title they don’t bother to interact…are you REALLY that freaking busy that you can’t spend an hour responding to some questions?

Hire a minion if you have too.

Ghostm  |  November 20th, 2008 at 6:49 am

You guys need to go mobile. That would be really cool.

joaryche  |  November 20th, 2008 at 6:53 am

You still can not link two underground accounts to one network id…or merge two underground accounts…I had asked this question in the past (case #5512847). I thought now since the undergound is dying that maybe this problem would have been fixed.

Renck  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:05 am

@ skaterricky

Did you receive an e-mail to link your playstation.blog account?

Please share the link is you don’t mind.

Thanks!

jorellano  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:08 am

I wonder what the changes will be for us Gamer Advisory Panel members. Hmmm…

DAC-SOLITUDE Co-Leader  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:15 am

THIS IS BULL SONY!!!
You have us PS3 Fans here waiting like your paying us, when we’re paying you.
1.WHERE IS “HOME”???
2.WHEN ARE WE GETTING “HOME”?
3.WHAT’S THE TIME & DATE WE SHOULD EXPECT TO SEE AND GET THE “HOME” UPDATE?
4.I HERD OVER AT TGS 08 THAT “HOME WILL COME OUT ON OR AROUND THE 19TH
GIVE US PS3 FANS A BRAKE, AND GIVE US SOME INFO ABOUT ALL THIS?

(WHY HAVEN’T YOU GUYS GAVE US PS3 FANS ANY UPDATE OR INFO ABOUT “HOME” ON THE PS3 BLOG?)
NOTE: YOU GUYS BETTER DO SOMETHING FAST! Cause the Punks over at Microsoft continue to work fast and keep their end of the deal to keep their Xbox fans happy. XBOX FANS HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN THERE “NEW XBOX EXPERIENCE” DASHBOARD UPDATE.(5:30am EST on Nov 19,2008
P.S. Look at it this way sony! Now Xbox will get so much more sales when they display there “New Xbox Experience Dashboard” over the counters. When Playstation 3 will still have basically the same “XMB interface” Next to theirs. The PS3 system will look like a joke!!! MARINATE ON THAT SONY…

zeke2040  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:23 am

oh man this is great… i think all ID should be link to your profile on the psn… Man ps3 and psp keep getting better and better

zeke2040  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:25 am

@183.. chill dude, there doing the best they can… the only thing i see you do is whine and complain… shesh!

Zinacef  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:52 am

Well it’s about time we get a makeover!

mrcaine  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:54 am

Who cares?! Where’s HOME?!

mrcaine  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:55 am

@185 Its ppl like you that let Sony get away with pushing HOME forever. It was SUPPOSED to be released DAY ONE!!! Cmon Sony, get with the progam.

mrcaine  |  November 20th, 2008 at 7:55 am

progRam duh

joaryche  |  November 20th, 2008 at 8:19 am

well i rather have products that work like they are supposed to and wait the extra time than to have a piece a crap given to us early that doesn’t work (i.e. Fallout 3) and have to wait for a patch to fix the problems that should have been taken care of already…I am all for quality assurance

the_icon  |  November 20th, 2008 at 8:37 am

Add Blog support!

“and, soon to come for PS3, PlayStation Home”

What do you mean by that? PSN ID is already supported in PS3 and Home.

Ghostm  |  November 20th, 2008 at 8:38 am

You guys at Sony need to get rid of Veronica Belmont. She’s actually promoting Xbox 360’s new Avatar. What on earth is going on?
Check the link below.

THE_EL3MENT  |  November 20th, 2008 at 8:44 am

The integration you guys are doing is excelent, keep it up! One suggestion I have is that the playstation blog posts should all apear on the PS3 information board.

Crumpilstilskin  |  November 20th, 2008 at 8:46 am

So Susan…Are there still plans to have a my space-esque type web page for your Home avatar like Phil Harrison was previewing at one of the recent keynotes? Is this redesign part of that?

Ghostm  |  November 20th, 2008 at 8:48 am

@ 185

Dude, I can feel his frustration. It’s been 2 years since Sony announced PS Home. Xbox 360 actually beat us to the punch. That’s pretty sad.

Ghostm  |  November 20th, 2008 at 8:54 am

PS HOME CLOSE BETA
PS HOME CLOSE OPEN BETA
PS HOME BETA ver. 0.2
PS HOME BETA ver. 0.3
PS HOME BETA ver. 0.5
etc…

2 Years pass…That’s just BS!

Empty promises as usual. Nothing new. How on earth did M$ beat you to the punch Sony? Please explain that to me and a bunch of other people. I have a very good feeling that PS Home will not be fully released this year. We are going to keep on seeing open betas until mid 2009 or later.

spicebean  |  November 20th, 2008 at 9:08 am

Sounds suh-weet!

Ghostm  |  November 20th, 2008 at 9:08 am

I forgot a few beta steps. LOL

PS HOME IN-BETWEEN BETA

(Some are in the beta and some are not.)

PS HOME SPECIAL QORE INVITE BETA

(Buy your way into the beta.) @.@
