Okay, I will setup my PS3 (80GB) on the 25th. I have wi-fi. I was wondering how I setup an account. How and where do I sign up to create an I account. Also, is it free? I will mainly play NCAA 08 and Madden 08, but will my user name be the same for both games, or is it different for each game you play online. Okay, thanks.

I remember the account set-up being pretty easy. Just follow the on-screen prompts. You'll need an email address. You can also create as many names/accounts as you want afterward. Your master account will always be the master account, though. I don't think you can transfer that. Maybe you can. Basically you add money to your wallet with this account, so you can buy downloadable content, like extra Rock Band songs, Motorstorm car skins, or 5-10 dollar games. That's the only kind of thing you pay for. All the on-line gaming stuff is free.

Okay, thanks. So my name for each game will be the same?

I created a sub account today and could not use the same e-mail address as any other psn account. Is this correct? at least I could not.

So if you have a psn account with an e-mail address and set up a sub or 2 master accounts you can not reuse that e-mail address, is this correct, I could not!

Thanks

Yeah, if you use the same account for all your games, then you'll have the same name for every game you play.

You will also be able to play DVDs. They just won't be in HD.

As for the email thing, yeah, you will require a different email address for each sub account. That's pretty simple, though. Most internet providers allow you to create a number of accounts.

If I'm wrong about any of this, it won't be long until someone corrects me. :p

Lol, I know. I wonder how by how much the number of PSN users will increase on X-Mas.

Make sure you put some of that Christmas money towards an HDTV! I couldn't imagine even wanting a next gen system (PS3 or 360) without one!
