The PS3 and 360 each have certain features that give it an edge over the other one. In terms on websites, the 360′s is far superior to the PS3. The 360 site is easy to navigate, and you can purchase games or download free demos right off the site. I find it easier to navigate through the website than through the console.
The PS3, on the other hand, is quite cumbersome. The main complaint, and the reason why I’m complaining about it in this post, is that Sony has this need to advertise their upcoming games on the home page of the site. This is done with several flash movies, and due to this, it takes forever to load up the site, or to navigate to the section you want to go to. Not for nothing, but I know what Sony has coming out for the PS3 in November…I don’t need to be seeing all these stupid ads now. The 360 doesn’t do anything as annoying as this. Sure, it has ads, but they are not as massive, do not take up the whole screen, and no not cause any lag. Read More »

So as Ive been complaining about the past couple of months, I could not get my PS3 Portable ID to update with my actual trophy count, meaning I couldnt show off my mad skills on websites. Tonight I figured out how to fix it. The problem was that, on the official PS3 site, I had a bookmark that went right to “My Profile.” This is where the problem was. If you are having trouble, this is what you have to do:
- Go to the home page of the PS3 site
- Check the upper right corner. If you are logged in, select to log out
- From the upper right corner, log in
- Select “My Profile” (it will be in the same spot you just logged in from when the page refreshes)
- Select “Portable ID”
- Click the button
And just like that, you will have a nice updated Portable ID, which can be placed on your website or your sig in a forum so you can show off your stuff.
Hope this helped!

So for the past month or so, my Portable ID has been un-updateable. When I go to the PS3 site and click the button to update, it automatically re-directs me to the home page, rather than updating my ID. This is sad because I want to flaunt all my hard-earned trophies and rub them all over Steve’s face.
From what Ive seen online, its not me but Sony, since no one can update their IDs. As Hook would say, “bad form”…

Get your Portable ID!
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?!
