I'll be honest, I think the Playstation 3 gamertag looks rather ugly. To each their own, but if we're going to voice opinions as fact, than there's mine. In the same respect though, the avatars on the Xbox 360 are ugly too, but the rest is very sleek and comfortable to view. I've used the Playstation 3 interface at a friends house and even though it is very beautiful, it reminds me too much of the old Xbox 360 dashboard, which I used to like but this new Zune inspired dashboard is much more comfortable to use now.
Well, to be honest, both tags look bland and generic to me. The xbox one is just a bunch of gradients, the ps3 one has that stupid pornsite shinyface. And gradients. You could say I am not much of a tag man.

The sackboy basically represents LittleBigPlanet. When creating your PSN card you can choose a game, and each game has it's own design. For example, MGS4 has solid snake on it.
The number on the left is your "level", and the number at the side of it is your "score/number of trophies" (the higher the score, the higher the level).
The other numbers represent the trophies you earn (bronze, silver, gold, platinum). It's pretty simple really.
Ohh klik gamercards! I like! What would be even cooler if we could "unlock" klik points when playing community games that were added to for example your tdc account, like the xbox 360 does. It is kinda fun unlocking points while playing games and it is sucking me into certain games more then i normally would.

Xbox gamercards for the Xbox 360 are not limited to just the ones we're using. There is a whole site dedicated to generating a gamercard, we just happen to all be using the same one.

There are lots of sites that offer different ones for the PS3 too (because Sony actually allow sites access to the API). So yeh, another point to us
I've always thought about doing a points/achievements system for Klik games, which would be stored on the DC servers. Would probably be a lot of work though..

The monkey box is my avatar.
The text under my name is:
- Favourite PS product (can choose between PSP, PS2 and PS3 I believe)
- Favourite game at the moment (mine is MAG)
- My mood (which is "weird", because I am)
The three game icons represent the last 3 games I got trophies in (Ghostbusters, Fat Princess, Dead Space).
And no you can't use your Home avatar in place of anything - mainly because Home is disconnected from everything else for some reason. I would much prefer to have my LittleBigPlanet sackboy as my "avatar" or something though.
