Gamertags and PSN IDs

So how are you going to join us in our quest to screen burn our eyeballs? This is how! Please note that, as Xbox Live only allows 100 friends, we'll likely clear out our Gamertag's friends lists before the event, so adding us now probably isn't going to help. Just take note, and we'll update you as we get closer to the event.
