PlayStation.com Continues to Evolve

256 0

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.

Game Detail Page

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.

  • Hell yeah!!

  • 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?

  • Bring on the ability to send messages to friends from Playstation.com!

    Good stuff, now what about voice chat across games?

  • This was a good post till i saw that BS about HOME on the end of it.

    WE DONT NEED ANY MORE COMING SOONS AND NEAR FUTURE OR IN THE UP COMING WEEKS OR FALL SPRING MID SPRING AND SO ON SO PLEASE JUST SHUT UP WITH THE BS HOME INFO

  • WOW< i cannot express on how evolved that looks, i love it. I cant wait to use it and explore. I do have one question though. Will we be ablle to send message others who are online via the ps3?

  • 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?

  • Sims interactive virtual world where people meet cook play games so on so on
    (new game every 8 months)

    Platstation home a interactive virtual world where people meet and talk and play games.
    (2 years in the making)

    you will be known for the longest beta in the history of video games

  • 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…

  • some nice changes coming, looking forward to this

  • @196: Dude, PlayStation Home was announced at GDC last year. That ain’t “two years.” Breathe.

  • Humm neat, theres lots of cool changes lately, especialy in the Home beta today. Getting all your ducks in a row I see…wheres is Super Rub a Dub 2 by the way?

  • Wazz up Evo! :)

  • Corey! What’s up, man!?

  • How about some good avatars?

  • Im gal this had finally happen.now we can be a more inclusive community and maybe some of these trolls can’t get out of there parents basement and get a Life :)

  • BRILLIANT!

    This is a long time coming. There is so much we have been asking for, but when you deliver you deserve the praise. Will the profile card display Trophies?

    Thanks!

  • playstation.com is my favorite website in the whole world wide web.

    im loving it!!!

  • WHAT NOW MICROSOFT! :) lol Nice upcoming update!

  • Can we get trophies to automatically update, please?!

  • I’m a GAP member and day 1 subscriber to Qore. Why can’t I get HOME beta?

  • DIS IS INSANE!!! Great job!!! w00t!

  • 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.

  • they must be updating it right this second.

  • agreed, the header and footer is gone

  • Cool news! I visit this site frequently and no doubt am happy with this renovation coming, thanks Playstation!

  • Just need some trophy lists, and you’re golden… Sony.

  • AWESOME!!!It would be really nice to be able to message friends from the playstation website…

  • ***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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • nooooo! im going to miss the fatefull underground but its the birth of a new and better era the era of the playstaion network congrates Sony

  • Good, but I still have trouble linking my PSN ID. =(

  • DAC-SOLITUDE Co-Leader

    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…

  • @234

    Jeff, please ban this troll

  • 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. :D

  • DAC-SOLITUDE Co-Leader

    @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!

  • WOW! This looks AWESOME!

  • Finally,I want have to sign in twice anymore,I can just use my PSN ID.AWESOME!

  • are any of you guys apart of PSU! there we don’t think it is an awsome idea.

  • I am assuming/hope there’s going to be an option for privacy settings because I prefer my profile on lock down.

  • is it possible to add trophies and games we are playing to the portable cards . i use mine .. but i would like people to see what games i have too.

  • All looks great. Definitely looking “evolved”.

  • sony has done great with everything so far but i do agree that things can be improved n can someone tell me why i cant merge my PSU with my PSN account and my PSU doesnt recognize as an active member of PSN? or should I 4get about it since they are closing PSU down anyways…..plzzz help me out somebody

  • Let’s see how is shakes out.Keep up the good work.

  • No more custom avatars – everyone name is boring white .. the ranks are going to be re-done. Worst decision ever. Thanks Sony.

  • 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.

  • now the main site is down….wtf…sorry its early and I’m bored…off to work.

  • Yes! Is this happening right now? I can’t go to the regular PlayStation site :(

  • New site is up, but the forums are down at the moment…
