Plenty of gamers from the UK and Europe have been wondering when they will be able to reserve their own PlayStation Network ID so that (hopefully) their preferred choice will not be taken by those in Japan and North America that got their systems in November.

Well, gamers, wonder no more- that time is now! Just head to https://secure.eu.playstation.com/user/ps3_info_registration/pn/login.jhtml?_requestid=1080057 to begin signing up. Now, before you rush in keep in mind that this name is permanent so be sure of what you want before you hit that Ok button to confirm everything. If you decide that you wanted a different name after going through the process you will have to do it again using a different e-mail address as there is a limit of one master name per e-mail. This name is how you will be seen across all games when playing online.

That being said, good luck with getting your preferred handle and hope to see you when the launch hits you in march 2007!
