the gmaercard thingy is nice! probably trophy stuff now!

Yeah, you get a little 'gamercard' now.
And you can see your friends online, what they're playing, and the last time they logged in.

[FriskyTanuki]

Nice.

I wonder if there's any chance Cheapy can get this simple set-up into the profile, like the gamertag thing we have.

[TimPV3]

Hmm, I can't get it to work.

[metaly]

That's very cool. I was actually just thinking earlier today how bare-bones the PSN user profile is compared to XBL, and I honestly never expected Sony to make friends lists viewable on the Web. And now here this is. I'm impressed.

Of course, I can't get it to work. I get a temp image that says something like "please wait while we update your ID" and then it vanishes. All the language over the related pages suggests I still need to sign in, which I've definitely done. :wall:

[FriskyTanuki]

The card doesn't show up at all in FF, but switching to IE made it work just fine.

[TimPV3]

The card doesn't show up at all in FF, but switching to IE made it work just fine.Yeah I did that, then I turned on my PS3 and it works fine. It wouldn't show my card after I linked the profiles, and kept telling me to link them even though I already did.

[RelentlessRolento]

firefox worked fine for me.

[metaly]

My PID is still inexplicably a 1x1 jpg, but at least I got the friends list working. Cool to see them moving in this direction. I wonder what other stuff they'll reveal during E3.

[dallow]

Give it a few minutes, and go back into PID page and hit 'update PID' or something, it then shows up.

[RelentlessRolento]

I can see these cards eventually having trophies and levels.

[FriskyTanuki]

If you want the simple code for your PSN card to add to your signature here, just replace CrashSpyro with your PSN name after linking your accounts:

http://pid.us.playstation.com//user/CrashSpyro.jpg (http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/Users/CrashSpyro)

I can't get my friends list to come up at all, so I'm not sure how that's supposed to work.

Edit: It's working for me now.

[zewone]

It doesn't show off anything except your motto and avatar.

...

[dallow]

I'm sure it will soon.

[TimPV3]

It doesn't show off anything except your motto and avatar.

...I'm sorry

[zewone]

You should be. Now I'll have to see these travesties around the forums that serve less purpose than a XBL gamercard.

[TimPV3]

You should be. Now I'll have to see these travesties around the forums that serve less purpose than a XBL gamercard.I know, HOW WILL WE GO ON NOT KNOWING THE LAST FIVE GAMES WE PLAYED?

[zewone]

I also can't send IamKingGorilla a friend request. This is bullshit.

[freakyzeeky]

How did you guys get your portable IDs to pop up in the forums?

[zewone]

HTML es no bueno aqui.

[dallow]

Don't worry, you'll never see this card in my sig Zew.



<--- Doesn't give a fuck. 8-) But I know lots of people wanted this.

[Rig]

I'll probably end up adding it next to my XBL card in the sig.

Right now, it's a little disappointing.

[pete5883]

The image should be between this word
http://pid.us.playstation.com//user/creid8.jpg
and this word. But nothing shows up.

Edit: Fixed. All I had to do was switch browsers, sign in and out several times, and enter my PSN login information 5 separate times. Of course!

[The Mana Knight]

I'm having trouble, but it now says updating. Thankfully I found something, but it says updating.

I found the problem. I'm going to blog it.

I think the important thing was the time it took, not your actions.

[Dr. Strangepork]

I just pasted the HTML they provided into my Sig here on CAG. Should that do it?

(I guess not)

(I guess not)Just remove the url from the html of PID and that will work.

I ended up blogging the story and linked to this thread (thanked ReRo).

how the hell do you embed it in a normal post?

Thanks for the direction, but I'm not sure what that means. Can you be more explicit?

If I start with:

What am I left with?

Thanks

If you want to use it in your sig, use the post (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4610414&postcount=12)I made earlier as a guide.

Thanks. That did it. I thought Crash Spyro was some sort of service and though "how can I replace it when I don't have it."

Thanks

[Thomas96]

not so bad... my ps3 gamercard is so... Bland!

[FriskyTanuki]

That's because you don't have a witty comment under your PSN name.

[Renald]

http://pid.us.playstation.com//user/Renald03.jpg

edit: I guess I have to give it a few..

[regis100]

It's kind of cool for a second, but then I realize it's pretty boring. I hope they improve this. (Oh, and thank you to Frisky for making a good post on how to add this to the sig.)

[RelentlessRolento]

expect stuff added. there's so much space taken by such little info. What your card looks like on your PS3 is what this will eventually look like.

[Darknyss]

It took forever to get my info synched/linked on the Web site.

http://pid.us.playstation.com//user/Darknyss.jpg (http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/Users/Darknyss)

[snowsquirrel]

The image for my PSN id is only 49 bytes. Looking at it with a hex editor, it is actually a GIF89, and not a JPEG as the extension suggests. Size of GIF is 1x1 pixels.

Thus, I am going to say that it is broken for me... for now.

Also the link for any user's PSN just takes me to a page telling me how I can link my PSN id, not to any information about that user.

I think I will leave it alone for a while, and let Sony sort the bugs out, before I get too excited.

That worked for me, thanks FriskyTanuki.

[warpedcore]

PSN is moving one step into a better direction.

[Blackout]

Hopefully this is a move in the direction of more trophies, etc. It looks pretty bare right now. :cry:

[snowsquirrel]

Best part about this for me is the "last time online" feature. I was keeping a pencil and paper by my couch for this purpose, so that I can cull users who are never online anyway. This is much better.

~S

[Thomas96]

if this new Sony PSN gamercard, could show trophies, and have the ability to make custom avatars, it'd be so much better.

[The Mana Knight]

Hopefully this is a move in the direction of more trophies, etc. It looks pretty bare right now. :cry:I think Sony may eventually show how many of each trophy, or your actual level. I don't think they'll ever show what games you recently played, since I don't think it's currently built in the PS3 to track it.

[Ogami Itto]

test

[Sinistar]

testing, I hope they add more to it, but at least it sorta works :)

[Rig]

I wish it were the same size as the XBL gamercard, as they would look nicer side-by-side.

[FriskyTanuki]

It would be nice to be able to have the browser friends list sort them like they do on the PS3, meaning those who are actually on will show up first, then the away people, and finally everybody else.

That would be perfect for me.

[orko60]

Mine isn't showing up in my sig. I've tried Tanuki's way, I've tried using the link within [ img] tags (sans space), it's still not working. Any ideas? My PSN name is ZackieChan.

[Psykodelik]

hehe pretty interesting.

[yukine]

Step in the right direction, but they need to add more to it.

Despite it being totally useless, I would like to see the last few games people have played on their cards, and the obvious trophy count/level.

[KillJoi99]

ZOMG! The XBOX and xbox.com have been able to do this for years. But nope it wasnt cool according to you guys until a few days ago.

Despite it being totally useless, I would like to see the last few games people have played on their cards, and the obvious trophy count/level.I think trophies will show up as they become more standard. With the majority of people having no trophies right now, it's really not a must right now IMO (but at least they got the foundation started). I dunno if they will ever track game, since I really don't think they have PS3 setup to do that yet (I'm not sure how it could be done via firmware upgrade. I do know for sure PS3 doesn't track the games played, only shows what someone played).

What I think would be cool is:
-Under the PSN name, have a level bar.
-Under the level bar, have the 4 trophies, and put underneath how many you have.

It may not be as fancy as XBL, but that would be good enough IMO, for a service not receiving any money.

Stop making shit up.

[CrimsonPaw]

Had a bitch of a time getting it into my signature. Hopefully trophies will show up and there will be Home integration.

[Thomas96]

what if I were to copy and past HTML into the about me section of the PSN card, do you think it would show up on the card?

[johnnypark]

Sweet. Not much to it yet, but my they have my interest.

[denze]

Interesting

[fullhavok]

i couldn't find where to sign up....

[Rig]

i couldn't find where to sign up....

Once you sign-in at the top of the PlayStation page, there should be a "Link ID" button next to your information.

[GodlyOne]

Very interesting indeed
Just wondering why you can only see when the last time your friends are online on the web page and not on the actual Ps3 too

[The Mana Knight]

While reading the blog, someone at SCEA said:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/07/16/link-your-playstation-underground-and-playstation-network-identities/

well, i think we need a Trophies section in the personal webpage too.

Chris Hagedorn replied on July 16, 2008 at 2:10 pm

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.

Linked mine a few days ago. It would be great if our Trophies and what game we are playing also shows up on our graphic.

Also the next step is to allow us to send and receive PSN messages from our PSU account.
Chris Hagedorn replied on July 16, 2008 at 2:12 pm

Hey, these are all great suggestions. Keep ‘em coming!

[RelentlessRolento]

I just like how Sony is open to the public's suggestions and don't entirely just go off and do their own thing.

[bigdsinferno]

is there any way to put this beside my xbox one in my signature? i know zero about html.

i know that that copy and pasting didn't work though. woo hoo! figured it out.... still don't know how to get it next to the xbox one in my signature though... if that's even possible.

yeah..just figured it out. Thank you, though. any way to put it in my signature right beside my xbox one?
nevermind, think i just figured that one out too.

[FriskyTanuki]

Check your profiles under your avatars now.

[yukine]

Sexy, it's a start.

[The Mana Knight]

All right, I'm bumping this thread to let everyone know CheapyD put it in our CAG profiles; however, you have to start the linking yourself to show up.

[FriskyTanuki]

You're two posts late, Mana.

[The Mana Knight]

You're two posts late, Mana.I didn't notice. Since I saw the thread fell back, I decided to bump it to make sure people knew (so they'd do the ID-linking for their profile to appear).

Oh well, glad you told Cheapy and posted in this thread about it earlier. :)
