Online registry?We spy with our wee little eyes an interesting bit of info. Play France has revealed (if we understand the Google Translate correctly) that Europeans would be able to register their profiles on November 9th. This will allow gamers to create online accounts despite not having an actual PS3 unit to use that account.

Sony just wants the Europeans to have the chance to reserve a profile tag/nickname/ID instead of waiting until after the Japanese and Americans have taken all the good ones.

Well, fair is fair.

However, we were thinking: what if a person does register an account and then, within a few weeks, they changed their mind about getting a PS3 unit? What if people hoard certain IDs (and try selling them in the future, hehe). We need details to make us top worrying!

In any case, there's no official word yet from Sony if this November 9 registry is confirmed, so we'll keep you posted once we hear more news on this.

@ woggy: No ***** sherlock.

Anyway, seems like a logical and fair move, make it be true Sony, make it be true.

Its is for everyone if you read the article it says:

"While launching the inscriptions simultaneously, Sony thus wishes to put all the players on an equal footing in this field."

I understand French very well, and they say that that piece of news is official, i.e. on November 9th, everyone in the world would be able to reserve his nick. Got it guys?

I really hope this is a simultaneous worldwide opportunity. I have been making GameSpy ID's to sell because I thought the PlayStation Network was built to interoperate with the GameSpy network. Now with this news, I will be finding myself anxiously waiting for November 9th to arrive :)
