Playfire.com, a social network for gamers, has today revealed the new official PlayStation "Portable ID" in collaboration with Sony. The new widget is designed to enable you to showcase your PSN details and Trophies around the web via embeddable code.

The official Portable ID will be synchronized with the official PlayStation website and will automatically update your Trophy count, which we are sure many will be pleased to hear.

The new Portable ID features your Trophy level, total number of Trophies, your last three most recently played games, and a breakdown of Trophies by type (bronze, silver, gold and platinum), in addition to the old features such as PSN avatar, Online ID, current mood and more.

Playfire has the scoop so head over there to find out more about the announcement and about their future plans.

    Does it update the trophies by itself or is it another lame one were you add the trophies by yourself and so many fakers crop up

     EDIT: ah wait I read it autoupdates over at the playfire guys, kudos to SCEE for getting something epicly right for a change xD, anyways I think you should mention that fact in this news

    Story title's a bit confusing, "PSN Portable ID" would work better otherwise people think it's trophies for PSP.

    Srych22, you slap its butt and ask these questions, "Who's your daddy and what does he do?"

    Is this that auto-updating one at playfire? if so, count me out - tried for hours and I cant get one no matter what I try. x.x

    I hope this isn't only for EU members as I have been with playfire since the beta and im American. lol

    I hope this leads to Sony being ready to release said info to the world to be linked to all different kinds of cards.

    • 6:12pm GMT - March 6th, 2009

    Finally.  I been asking for them 2 to work something out to get some unity.   Really sony should buy up Playfire.com and make it a Sony Playstation Social network.

  27. iplayonlysony

    • 6:38pm GMT - March 6th, 2009

    Over at playfire's website, it doesn't say anything about this being for EU only.  So if that is true, then cool!

    Makes sense that PSU would have the exclusive news. :p Don't you guys own PlayFire.com?

     Is no one trepiditious about logging into a non Sony site (Playfire) with your PSN ID and password? Couldn't someone use that info to get into your account.  I'm not saying anyone at Playfire would, but why should I trust these guys?

     @30

    The login information is for your PSN account -- as Sony feature, Sony keeps that info stored in its servers; Playfire doesn't touch it.

    • 12:43am GMT - March 7th, 2009

    That's why I like about my 360 Gamertag.  My info. is carried across Live/360/Zune/Etc...  It would be great for their to be an application that shows your stats along everything:)

     @4 - You can put the portable ID in your sig on message boards etc to show other people what trophies you have.I'm glad it's getting updated as I spent ages trying to find my trophies when I set up my portable ID.Doh!

    tried and tried and tried, but it does not work, still no email confirming so i dont hold out much hope on this thing updating when it is up and running, think we will have to wait for the official sony portable ID for this UPDATE: checked out playfire thismorning and it looks like they are back peddaling somewhat as you cant even create one now, the only option is to be notified as to when the service will be available, come on Sony push out the official one.

    am i the only one that doesnt see the point of this.  seriously what the  is the point if you want to see your trophies look on your ps3 instead of going to some website.  and if you get one to put it in your signiture thats just makes u a no life lame a**
