How can you view PSN IDs?

[Hedchekr]

I don't know if this is the right area to post this, but this has been bugging me.

I have 3 different PSN account (big whoop alot of us do),
but I only play on my US account PSN ID Hedchekr. So much to my suprise while checking the European PSN store I noticed I had a message. I thought it would be for me to change my PSN ID for that account as its Butthash, but it was a friend request, how did he even see that name, I don't play with that account, it is only for the PSN store. Did he just go looking for Butthash or what?

Had you played any games online with that account?

[Hedchekr]

No, I don't do anything with that account besides browse and download from the PSN.

He may have had a friend called Buthash misread his yellow sticky and added the extra t...

Its most likely mistaken identity, did you talk to him and ask him how he got your id..

Nah I didn't talk to him maybe I will send him a mesage tonite. But he sent the friend request with a mesage of "Butthash lol" which to me kinda of implied that he saw it thought it was funny a sent a request, I don't know.

Is it even in the slightest bit possible that you accidentally went on Home or some other game with that account even for a couple of minutes? Any demos that were restricted to the region which the account is dedicated to and not available on the U.S. account?

That is the only way that they would have seen it... unless they literally are just sending out random friend requests to random names that they put into the request engine randomly. That would be a pretty loser thing to do though.
