I now have a headset, so if you could do me up in blue it'd be much appreciated!
(While you're at it, could you remove the 'Theme from Shaft' bit from my username too? Cheers!)
Copy/paste ftw!

Hi everyone, I only got my PS3 yesterday so I'm still lacking in games. I got LBP and FC2 but will add a lot more to the list in the coming weeks, my PSN name is Mintydog82.
Hope to see some of you there, cheers.

Here it is, possibly the most important topic for PS3 owners ever! Sony has ramped up their online service for PS3, and loads of us play online on a regular basis. To join in the fun, post your usernames in here and I'll get them added to the list. If you have a headset let me know and I'll put you in on the list in blue so you're more likely to get added by other people with headsets. Much better for team games and online gaming in general.Joining A FriendUnlike Microsoft's service, on PS3 you can't (yet) simply join a friends game via their name on your list, the service will vary game by game, but there is nearly always a way to do so once you've worked it out! In some games (Rainbow Six) you can join a friends game only if they send you an invite. On others (Warhawk) there are no invites but you can join a friends game via their name. In games such as Motorstorm, you have a friends list which will tell you which server your friend is playing on, but you'll need to then go and find that server yourself. Since update 2.40 you can now message friends in game via the XMB & arrange games that way, so arranging games is now much more user friendly.
Voice Chat In GamesOnce again this feature varies depending on what game you play. The vast majority of games support this though, so a headset is highly recommended. Most Bluetooth headsets are supported by PS3, but a great wired alternative is the USB Socom Headset from PS2. A USB Keyboard is also supported in a few games, but this is rare. I'd still recommend one for anyone intending to use the PS3's built in Web Browser though.
Online ScoreboardsMany games, especially games from the PlayStation Store, have Online Scoreboards. Most of these can be set to view your friends only, and there are some very competitive games. The most competitive I've seen is the brilliant Super Stardust HD, which about half of my friends list have played. Add a few people from the list below and I guarantee you'll get more value from your games as you try and squeeze out a few million extra points!
Viewing The Friends List In Game Via the XMB (Cross Media Bar)This is now available in all games. You can not join a friend via their name here, but you can see what they're playing and message to arrange where to meet etc.
Friends List LimitYou can have a total of 100 users on your PS3 list. This was previously 50.
CostThe PlayStation Network is a free service, there is no cost to join and no subscription fee to pay. Developers can however charge for online play for MMORPG's (Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Games) such as Everquest or World of Warcraft. There are no games on the PS3 at the moment that require an additional subscription charge. PS3 has a built in wireless adapter, so if you already have a Wifi connection at home, you wont need to buy any adapters to play online. You can also simply slip an ethernet cable into the back of your PS3.
MoreThere is a guide built into the PS3 which Sony update with their firmware updates. Simply click Online Instruction Manuals on the XMB.
