So as you can see above me, this is the new PS3 “trophy card”, which is being referred to as a Portable ID. Its available directly through the official PS3 website, and is a great feature they finally got around to doing. I was using Playfire for awhile to show off my trophies, but the problem was that to stay accurate you had to manually update and add trophies you acquired. This was not cool because not only was it a pain in the ass to constantly go on there whenever you received a trophy before you forgot about it, but anybody could claim they got any trophy and be a deuche about it.
So it took me awhile to figure out how to pop it on forum site like co-optimus but with the help of some forum members I was able to pop it on. The problem was that the Portable ID only comes with a html code, which is fine for my blog, but doesnt cut the mustard on forum sites, so I needed help creating a new code.
Anywho, its done, and its about time. It took Sony waaay too long to figure this out. There were a couple of independent sites offering this service, and Microsoft has been giving 360ers Achievement Cards (not sure what the official name is) for awhile now. So with this, Sony takes one more step towards competing with Microsoft. The price cut was a good thing, and this is also. Its silly to not offer the same services that the 360 does, even if 360ers have to pay. I’ll glady pay an annual price for online support if its as good as Microsofts. The only thing missing now is the damn voice chat. Is it so much to ask to be able to have a voice chat room running in the background while you play a single player game?!

wow i thought PSN was better than that. i don’t know what i’d do w/o voice chat. the XBL gamercard thing is not that great which is why most people use 3rd parties like mygamercard.net.
also, most people only pay $40/yr for XBL so its a no-brainer. i don’t get why people complain so much about paying. that’s partly why XBL has so many nice features and its a small price to pay.
Yeah, I had a tough time choosing between the PS3 and 360. It was obvious from the start that the 360 had the superior online services, and even though you pay an annual fee, it would totally be worth it.
But in the end, the biggest factor was that I didnt want a RROD or other 360 hardware fail. I likes my games, and I couldnt see being without a system for a few weeks while it was being serviced. That, and I also needed my God of War III!!!
But I definitely agree that Microsoft offers the best online support. If only its hardware was as reliable…
