(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just want to say that i'm sure a lot of you know this or have different methods of doing this but this is just a simple tutorial for the people who don't know.



Step 1. Go to You must login or register to view this content. website.

Step 2. You should see a box under "Public Trophy Search" and it says "Please enter a PSN Online ID"

Step 3. Enter a a PSN ID and click SEARCH. If You must login or register to view this content. message pops up with no profile or trophies, then the name is not taken.



This works for PS4 and PS3. And heres an example of what it would look like if the name is taken. Click You must login or register to view this content.. Now the profile shows up but it has no trophies, so if the PSN is NOT taken, then it wont show the profile, only the message that says "Cannot find trophy information for this user."

I have a program that links to the server and lets me know if the name is available or not. But thanks for the share.

Very good information instead of typing a username just to see if it was taken only to end up with a PSN you didnt even want. Happened so many times.
