Playstation Site Now Integrates PSN IDs

Finally, something to report! The Playstation site now gives all members the opportunity to link their PSU accounts to their PSN id. Deemed the Portable ID, you can check all the things, that you could only do on the PS3 before, remotely. You are also given a nifty little sig that can be used to identify yourself on forums where your name doesn't match your PSN id. Very cool little addition to the site. I might actually visit it now.

I am going to confirm how much you can do with it (trophies and such), but changing your avatar is still PS3 only.

Edit: If you link your accounts, and the site doesn't recognize it properly, just sign out and back in. Should work fine.

Edit 2: Ok, this thing is basically useless. Your PSN id is attached to your PSU account on the forums. So people can see who you are by looking at your information to the left (where your post count is). This is sort of nice, but pointless for people who don't use the PSU forums. The sig is also too big for many forums. The only thing you can actually do remotely is look at your friends list. No trophies, no messaging, no status updates, nothing. I hope this is just bare bones just like everything else Sony releases that they will fix later. Because as of right now, this service is useless.
