Yes you are right about that SunnyD i just saw PSN's page an it is a mess. They used to have a nice online status checker page a few years back, but they seem to have changed it for the worse. =/
KillerX, the only thing wrong with that is people well most people I know always change their gamer-tags so you would have to re add gamer-tags almost all the time. For now this is just a simple gamer-tag checker.
