Gaming consoles and online usernames

Tril · Dec 6, 2009, 04:54 AM

DriverHean is primarily about pc gaming. However, many of us are also console gamers and nowadays, most games are multi-platform. We can currently edit our profile so that our pc system specs are shown on the forums under our name.

I've got a suggestion to make. We can discuss it here to see if there's a need, if it's possible, if it's a good idea and if it's easy to add.

Below System Specs, there could be another line called "Gaming Consoles" (or something else fitting). When clicking on it, it could open a small window with information like it does for System Specs. It would display what consoles you have (Xbox360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP, etc). You could also write down your online usernames for the Xbox360 and the PS3, in case you want anyone on DH to be able to add you as a friend.

Tell me what you think. Somebody might have thought and spoken about it before me and I might not have seen the discussion.

I like the idea. I have just woken up (almost 3 hours of sleep!) so I need another half and hour to fully wake up to be sure I am not saying something bad, but I like the idea a lot!

Interesting could be useful for some of the members with consoles.

Yes, it could be... Slightly offtopic but I've been eternally mad (even tho I pay for it) that Xbox live does not allow 16 char usernames (the length of "seraphicsorcerer"
