You know the little 360 gamercard thingy that displays on your cblog profile when you enter your gamertag into your profile page? Well, now you have one for your PSN ID as well.
I noticed recently that Sony had finally gotten around to making one that doesn't suck, so I asked Niero if he could integrate it into cblog profiles. Since he is awesome and gracious, he has done this thing.
To use it, go to your Settings page, and simply type your PSN name into the little box on the right. Easy beans, yo.
Try it out, and be sure to thank Niero for the doing of things that he has done.
UPDATE: Apparently you have to sign in to thePlayStation siteand set up a profile first. Should work after that.
UPDATE UPDATE: Niero has just informed me that we now also support Steam, Battle.net, and Dtoid PlayXpert IDs as well. THAT IS A LOT OF THINGS.
Hot, but for some reason I can't get mine to work, just displays the broken JPG logo. It works fine as a link though, and goes to the right page when clicked on, just no pretty picture :/
Actually, mine doesn't work anymore either. I'll just keep my old one for now. Maybe it has to do something with the fact that I'm European and it links to the US Playstation website.
Very nice!
... and I do like that when you click on the PSN card it actually shows what games the person has played... which is much better information than how many trophies they have or their gamerscore thingie.
Not sure the PSN thing works perfectly from a EU PSN account like my own, the info wants to come from the US site.
It might work, but when I checked my own blog to see, I was getting broken images.
Could be that I never registered for the trophy thing on the US site too.
Ah, and I didn't have to change my avatar at all either. Amazing!
...Aww, the steam name looks so...bare when put next to the PSN ID card thing...
I want a digital id card for steam now too...I mean, they already have the stat tracking down(I know, this isn't a Dtoid issue, but it needs to be said).

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

about me
Oh hai. I'm Topher. You might recognize me from such Destructoid articles as these here, or as the Managing Editor of Tomopop, or as the resident oyaji over at Japanator. Or maybe as "the dumb one" on Podtoid. But most of you probably know me as "the boring one" on RetroforceGO, our retro gaming podcast. If Modern Method Network was a row of Slurpee machines, I'd be the guy standing there with a little bit of every flavor in his cup. Except Podcastle. You need a monocle for that one.

Thanks, Niero!!!!! You're on fire lately!
Who dat robot!?
You dat robot, Niero!!
But...but... the PS3 has NO GAMEZ.
What the hell are you going to play with that piece of shit? Except Sports gaimz anyways!
You can see how I played Metal Gear Solid 4 now!
Niero's awesome like that.
More awesomeness! Thanks Niero!
Have you dudes gotten any sleep? So many upgrades.
WHO GIVES A FUCK A PANDA IS RIDING A HOBBY HORSE
That panda is soooo cute!
Where is the Steam card support? Don't ditch PC gamers!
;_;
Also...Topher why are you not on my PSN friend's list?
Please forget my previous comment...I just checked my profile settings...
Hot, but for some reason I can't get mine to work, just displays the broken JPG logo. It works fine as a link though, and goes to the right page when clicked on, just no pretty picture :/
yaaay
Same problem as SWPM, just broken jpeg but works as a link...
Oh My goodness I luuuuuuve that picture:).
yarrr, mine is broken as well :(
Hooray for new features and hooray for cute pandas!
Mine is working fine. I think you have to log on to the Playstation site via your PSN log in and actually retrieve or view it first.
@Yojimbo: No idea, dude. We should fix this.
Also, on that note, if anyone tries to add me, please tell me your Dtoid name so I know who the hell you are.
Hmmm, sexy. And convenient.
Awesome, except that we have the same avatar. Oh, Toro...
I already did the work to put mine in before....so now I can have 2 or 200!!
*leaves a present*
^_^
I see that you have all the trophies for noby noby boy :D
Cool stuff.
Must. Apply. Now.
Shame that PS2 games can't be shown, or else you folks would see a whooooooole lot of Okami.
They should do what God Of War is doing, release it in 720p and add just a few trophies that backdate to a PS2 memcard save.
Also, everyone should pay me a dollar for no reason, every day I get out of bed.
Thanks for the update Topher.
I give up! Been looking for a way to make mine show up for a while now and can't find a damn thing. Stupid broken image icon.
Actually, mine doesn't work anymore either. I'll just keep my old one for now. Maybe it has to do something with the fact that I'm European and it links to the US Playstation website.
Very nice!
... and I do like that when you click on the PSN card it actually shows what games the person has played... which is much better information than how many trophies they have or their gamerscore thingie.
FUCK YAH PANDAS :DDDD
I should really get a PS3.
yay

thanks for the heads up
Pandas?? YAY!!
Ah, and I didn't have to change my avatar at all either. Amazing!

I want a digital id card for steam now too...I mean, they already have the stat tracking down(I know, this isn't a Dtoid issue, but it needs to be said).
Everyone's got colors over there now, when did that happen? Has it always been like that?
Very nice.
OK, it's working for me now too. Just had to refresh it once on the Playstation website. I had set up a profile a while ago.
huzzah!
Over the weekend I was at my local arcade and there was an Alpha 2 and CVS2 tournament going on. I entered and lost but I had a good run :D
Also, I've been playing super gem fighter. WHY ISN'T THAT ON XBLA??
