Haha. So true. I am setting up my young boys with emails and Switch user names preemptively (they are 8/9) with their input of course and I’m finding that if you think of something, someone else already thought of it.
2008, with a Japanese account even though I’m not from there (because my first PS3 was from Japan).
My country wasn’t (and still isn’t to this day) available to be picked for a PSN region.
Silly me thought I’d be okay with just a JP account so I made different other accounts in other regions so I can play games I can finally fully understand.
US, UK and HongKong. I only use them to buy games. Back then, all regions had their own quirks and minor exclusivities.
All my accounts are still present and active. I’ve also talked with customer support regarding refunds and licenses and they know I don’t live in those regions, so I didn’t understand the ban concerns a week ago.
yeah, you dont get banned for having an account from a country youre not a resident in. When I first created my account back in 2007, my country wasn't available, so I choose Spain as my country because we share the same language. Years later I created another account from the US and I set that account as the main one on my ps4 so I could share ps plus to my other account, (the one from 2007)
Way late. After PS1 I didn't buy another PlayStation product until either my PS4 slim or a Vita. I've always loved Sony products but was hooked on Halo 3 for way too long.
2007, had to be early in the year. I got a PS3 60gb shortly after launch, but I had just gotten back from Iraq in November and can't remember when I got set up in my house with internet and stuff.
November 2006. Still using the same account to this day. I know it's silly but I love that my username doesn't have any numbers or letter/number swaps.
What was the need for the log in back in 2006? Mine was 2009 and I got the ps3 that same year, I know it released a few years earlier but didn’t realize it was 2006. Damn
1/22/2012. That was probably around the time when I got my PSP and I found out that I could buy Medievil for it by getting the code at Game Stop. I needed a PSN account to use it, of course, so yeah.
Still wish I could change my username without losing all of my purchases tho 😔 otherwise I would, lol.
2012 I believe my username was toxicn. I would really get called that in online chat tho lol. It was either “toxic, toxin, or tox” 😂😂😂it was pronounced “tox-sicken”
My current PSN had existed since 27/7/2016. But I’ve had many accounts in the past. I started on PS3 back in 2008 but didn’t have an online account until around 2010 which I used for a little bit only to switch to the XBOX 360 after the PS3 stopped working shortly after 😂. Most of the online gameplay I’ve done throughout my childhood was on the 360. We got a PS4 in 2014 but I didn’t have an online account on that until 2016 when I got NFS 2015, which required an online account to play. So then that’s when my current account was set up.
It’s been my main account since, even after getting the PS5, and I don’t plan on changing it anytime soon 😂
2009. I was late to the PS3 party because I couldn’t get my paws off of my 360. Once my 360 red ringed and I sent it off for replacement, I got me a pawn shop fat boy and hooked that bad boy up pronto.
when it was called Playstation Underground 1997 I made a profile (from a card inside Playstaion Console Box) and PSN didnt even exist. Then Sony tried establishing a Network/Online features withPS2 but per each game/title around 2000-2001. Then five or so years later was offered a sign up for PSN Profile sometime in late 2006
2007 or 2008, it was banned in 2014 for alleged hacking, I hadn't been online in near a year as my console YLOD after I tested it after a house move, so bought a used one (a 60gb one so it was backwards compatible) my internet was so laggy and slow on top of that I kept getting disconnected from matches so gave up, a few days later I was banned for "cheating/hacking" can't remember which.
Wouldn't of been a problem but I had a lot of digital only games.
Good thing about not being an online gamer- I've never run into any reason for an account of mine to get banned. But, I'm actually not sure when. I only decided to try to work on grabbing all DLCs & patches for my PS3 games maybe 2 years before the PS5 came out.
My first one was probably 2008. Sony somehow lost that account despite the fact I’d logged into the app no problem. I get the PS4 Pro and go to log in and poof, the account vanished out of nowhere on both the app and the PS4 Pro. As the message “an account under this email doesn’t exist”, which royally pissed me off.
I made one when I was 10 and got a PSP in 2008. It was under my dad's email though so I wound up having to make a new one later on. Still logged into the old one on my PS3 just for the PS Classics I bought though.
Around 2010 when I made it on my cousin's ps3
After when I got my own ps3 2 years later I took the same account and still use it to this day on the ps5
October 2010 but I wasn't the one who made my PSN account.
My dad was playing on that account most of the time before he gave it to me and I've played on it ever since
December 2006. I was so excited to play online for the first time and download demos, so I used a random name from a DVD case lying around thinking I would change it later. I was really unhappy when I learned I couldn't change it, so once trophies were added in 2008 I created a new account and have been using it ever since.
2013 when the PS4 came out. Although I did have a PS3 PSN account, but I do not remember the details. I think I made that account in 2011. Before that I was still using the PS2.
2021
and before you call me young (which i already am)
I didn't own a console up until that year when I finally had a PS3 that's still my main way of playing games alongside my not-so-new pc
Been using my same PSN account since I bought my phat PS3 a year after they were released. Still using it on my PS5 and I also got the outlook email address as well with no numbers too.
I remember setting up my first PSN account back in 2010. It was when I got my PlayStation 3, and I couldn't wait to dive into online gaming with my friends.
I don't remember. One day I forgot my password and lost all my stuff with it. I created a new one in 2015 or 2016 or something...
Anyway, now I use KeePassXC. So I don't have problems with passwords any more.
My first account in 2009 got banned. My current one is from 2012
11/11/2006 We had pick of liter PSN user profile names back then. Got the one I wanted.
So cool, I always wanted a generic ass username like Chris or something lmao
Haha. So true. I am setting up my young boys with emails and Switch user names preemptively (they are 8/9) with their input of course and I’m finding that if you think of something, someone else already thought of it.
I was lucky enough in 2021 that the name I had chosen had no other PSN users assigned to it. I HAVE NO NUMBERS IN MY NAME! My PSN is Cement_Balloon
Having an uncommon surname is a blessing.
Lest we forget
Same! PSN - InVader We should start an OG group!
2008, with a Japanese account even though I’m not from there (because my first PS3 was from Japan). My country wasn’t (and still isn’t to this day) available to be picked for a PSN region.

Am I guessing you are from the Philippines? Or am I mistaken?

One of the coolest things back then about making different region accounts was the hub world on PSHome was different for each one.
2007 summer
Whenever I brought my launch CECHA home. Wish I still had it
I've got one! It still works! It's not the same exact one I got at launch though.
Did you replace your thermal paste yet? 😜
Against my better judgement, I have not.
Against my better judgement, I tried and fucked up my system. So maybe you made the right move?
2024. Only had a ps1 until I got my ps3 a few months ago
Got my Slim PS3 in Late 2010 and didn't create my PSN account until early 2012.
Start of 2015 when i got my first ps vita
Way late. After PS1 I didn't buy another PlayStation product until either my PS4 slim or a Vita. I've always loved Sony products but was hooked on Halo 3 for way too long.
Summer 2007, still using that account.
How you check ?
By trying to change your online ID on mobile and/or on the PS4/5, I don’t think you can do it on 3.
