Ps3 - playing online.......help?

I am SO confused, i recently got a Ps3 but i dont understand the social network that they have. I thought that you could go online and meet other gamers, but can you only do that through playing online games? I used to have an Xbox 360 and i know you can do it with that, but i dont understand the Ps3.?





Can some one plaese explain this to me?

no you can post your gamer id in places like thi or other gamer forum and peeps will add you, its the best way to do it its how i built my frien lit up to 34peeps by putting it on forums and adding other ags of forum evn if they havent snt t to you the worst thing they can do is say no! so your best off just adding every tag you come across when your browing, most of the time peeps will acept requests to be a friend jost for the sake of you have a better chance of finding games if u have alot of friends online who can invite you into games and most gamers r really friendly





add me im online alot mickgad
Reply:The social networking side of the Playstation network hasn't launched yet. Its going to be like a mixture between The Sims and Second Life.


This is due to be launched sometime soon but no date has been given.


Its planned to be a free service.
