Early next week, we’ll be integrating additional community features into PlayStation.com. We are excited to roll-out the first phase, which includes the ability to sign-in to PlayStation.com and, soon after, PlayStation.Blog with your PlayStation Network ID. Of course, your PlayStation Network ID gets you access to all the good things on the PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP, including games, movies and TV shows on the PlayStation Store, online gaming, and, soon to come for PS3, PlayStation Home.
In addition, we are making enhancements to the gamer profile features. Your profile will include your PSN online ID, your avatar, and a short “about me” section. You’ll also be able to display your friends list and, on the game detail pages, you’ll be able to include ratings and reviews for all of your favorite games. These features were created so that you can make new friends, learn new tricks and tips, talk trash, offer advice, console the defeated, praise the winners, and more.
If you have an Underground account on PlayStation.com and haven’t already merged it with your PlayStation Network ID, click here to do so. If you don’t have an Underground account but would like to create a PlayStation Network account to participate in the new features on PlayStation.com, click here.
We decided to dissolve the PlayStation Underground program in order to provide more PlayStation fans with a glimpse into the PlayStation Network world via the web. We hope you enjoy this next step in the evolution of PlayStation.com.
Stay tuned; before this year is over we’ll have more enhancements for your gamer profile.

I’m so excited about this! Will there be a separate side for G.A.P. members or is G.A.P. going to close completely too?

Scary69 | November 20th, 2008 at 9:55 am
What I want to know if there will be an option to weather or not you want you PSN ID shown or Not. Because not everyone wants to share their PSN name. So will there be an option for this?

Is it wrong that just seeing the words Playstation and Home next to each other gave me a boner?
Yes, yes it is wrong. I blame Sony for creating this wild fantasy. For shame…

xLord-Slothx | November 20th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Ok, so we that have our
PSN ID and PSU ID linked are good to go? How does this affect the forums. Do we lose rank or post count. So all log in will be with just our PSN if/ This is a very good plan but more information would be nice.
224
MRGOODDAY | November 20th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
they must be updating it right this second.
225
eric1018 | November 20th, 2008 at 2:58 pm

JuJuRMJ | November 20th, 2008 at 3:14 pm

artofwar420 | November 20th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Just need some trophy lists, and you’re golden… Sony.

S-k-i-t-t-l-e-z | November 20th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
AWESOME!!!It would be really nice to be able to message friends from the playstation website…
229
GOD__HAND | November 20th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
***VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION*** Is there any way possible that this main page can be an option to view when someone brings up your gamer card? Or have a symbol that refers to all the official Playstation forums that your ID is synched to (LittleBigWorkshop, MyResistance.net, Killzone.com)then choose wich one to view? That would be awesome.
230
sakeshotz | November 20th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
I’m digging the new layout. I’m with some of the other folks. It’d be great to incorporate trophies/levels into our profiles.
231
crandall695 | November 20th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
a release date 4 home would be better than all the stuff u just said, come on sony it’s been more than a year,get on to the next project
232
babybluedb | November 20th, 2008 at 6:08 pm

234
DAC-SOLITUDE Co-Leader | November 21st, 2008 at 4:49 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…

Jeff, please ban this troll
236
donjuan | November 21st, 2008 at 5:47 am
I think that this is great news. I think there are still much more things for you guys to improve. But nonetheless this is still awesome.
237
DAC-SOLITUDE Co-Leader | November 21st, 2008 at 6:19 am
@235 +schwaa Your a Noob! Go play with your wii. People like you allow sony to keep delaying “HOME”. By the the sounds of it. It’s probably cause u just got your ps3 why you would say something so stupid. For some of us, like myself. We’ve had our PS3 since day one. We’ve been waiting for home alot longer then you. So suck on that fool!
238
DarkPlanet | November 21st, 2008 at 6:31 am
WOW! This looks AWESOME!
239
bigdaddyjane | November 21st, 2008 at 7:04 am

240
Dark__Gamer | November 21st, 2008 at 8:33 am

241
chaosgrid | November 21st, 2008 at 10:58 am
I am assuming/hope there’s going to be an option for privacy settings because I prefer my profile on lock down.
242
IIIKAGEIII | November 21st, 2008 at 1:03 pm

243
vlad01234 | November 22nd, 2008 at 10:26 pm

245
Mindfuct | November 23rd, 2008 at 8:04 am
Let’s see how is shakes out.Keep up the good work.
246
DARK_JAK_911 | November 23rd, 2008 at 5:50 pm
No more custom avatars - everyone name is boring white .. the ranks are going to be re-done. Worst decision ever. Thanks Sony.
247
schu70 | November 24th, 2008 at 3:06 am
forums are down (or are they gone…lol)..can’t log into the PSN link on the new Playstation home page….nice migration…I was looking forward to this merge as the forum merge into PSU years ago was never clean. Maybe this morning was just a speed bump before the “new spin” picks up steam.
248
schu70 | November 24th, 2008 at 3:08 am
now the main site is down….wtf…sorry its early and I’m bored…off to work.
249
Snack_Eeter | November 24th, 2008 at 3:19 am
Yes! Is this happening right now? I can’t go to the regular PlayStation site
250
DARK_JAK_911 | November 24th, 2008 at 4:04 am
New site is up, but the forums are down at the moment…
