Sign in to your Playstation.com account, and a big button next to your name will appear telling you to link your PSN account. Enter in your PSN ID, and you'll get your very own PSN Portable ID. A Gamercard, if you will.
So, what is your portable ID and how do you make changes to it?
Your Online ID is your PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork name that you pick when you sign up. Once your Online ID is set, you can't change it, so choose wisely. The Avatar can be changed anytime from your PLAYSTATIONŽ3 console:
* Go to the "PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork" icon in the XMB (XrossMediaBar)
* Select "Sign-In" if not already signed in
* Select "Account Management" under the PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork menu
* Select "Account Management" in the account management menu
* Select "Edit Online Profile"
* Select a new Avatar or "Use Current"
* Enter a new "About Me" messageup to 21 characters
Your About Me is a snippet where you can tell other players a bit about yourself, your favorite game or what you like to do. Your "About Me" message can be changed on your PLAYSTATION 3 console:
* Go to the "PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork" icon in the XMB (XrossMediaBar)
* Select "Sign-In" if not already signed in
* Select "Account Management" under the PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork menu
* Select "Account Management" in the account management menu
* Select "Edit Online Profile"
* Select a new Avatar or "Use Current"
* Enter a new "About Me" messageup to 21 characters
