Online ID not being accepted


Recommended Posts

I've just brought a PS3 and I'm trying to sign up to PSN, however every name I enter cannot be used. I've tried twenty different names (some are different variations) and no joy. I'm complying with the character limit etc.

Anyone got any advice? As obviously I need an online ID to carry on with the sign up process :/

Annoying isn't it.

I was trying to get my name, Corris, but it wouldn't work, not a clue why, it was perfectly within the limits of name choosing.

A few others didn't work either, in the end I just stuck a D on the end since its initial of my first name and it worked.

So I can't really give you any advice on it besides to keep trying.

:s Er, perhaps someone else got Corris before you tried?

A problem might of been the fact Sony let people pre-register names before the PS3 was out.

I registered Audioboxer months before the PS3 came out in the UK, but I never actually bought my PS3 till about 4-5 months AFTER it came out.

I was sitting on the PSN signup screen saying to myself ****, someone took Audioboxer, what do I use now.... The I remembered, it was me!

I thought at first nah, they'll have canceled mine for not buying a PS3 shortly after launch, and someone else will have it, but no, I still had it :p

Ah dude, quick question. Where can I get other themes for the PS3?

I've literally turned it on, set it up and turned it off to watch CSI NY :pinch:

Possibly, could be true, but I tried to register it the minute they let you do it on-line, and I doubt the name would of been taken, especially if there are only apparently 3-4 million PSN accounts.

Corris sin't exactly a popular name, I've enevr had toruble registering it on any game before.

I was able to get Corris on Xbox.com fine, but changed it to CorrisD but got CorrisD so they would be the same on each.
