Here's a nifty feature some of you have been looking forward to -- an official way to display your PSN ID on various websites. Obviously, you will need to have a PSN account. You will also need to sign up for a PlayStation Underground account as well if you do not already have one. Linking to the two of them together will allow you access to the PLAYSTATION Network portable ID. The PSN portable ID "is a visual summary of your PLAYSTATION®Network account, including your Avatar, "About Me" message and Online ID." There is even an HTML code provided for you to display this information wherever you please.
You can also now access your Friend List via the PSU -- in addition to the information on their portable ID, you will see their online status. If online, you can view their comment/status and what game they are currently playing. If they are offline, you can see when they were last online. At this time, you cannot manage your Friend List via the PSU. So what are you waiting for? Link your accounts up
here.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

It's silly we could link our PSN IDs to the eu site AGES ago, but it didn't do anything.

OK So I did it. So where is the site where I can see it, and where the heck can you get the HTML code for it?
One would think it would be in a FAQ. But then again this is Sony.

OK so it took a few minutes to generate it. I see it now. However, I still do not see where you can see a web page that lists your friends list and their online/offline status.

Click on your name at the top of the page and along the left side you will see a link to your Friends List.

That or maybe those sets of links were not there this morning when I linked my accounts.

So,where's the "friends list"? Can't seem to find it... They talk about it on the page, but there doesn't appear to be a tab as described in the page...

I tried to do it but when you try to access the page with the html code from a non-US server you get blocked. It's US only
