How to Friend Someone on a PS3

Playing PlayStation 3 games online with friends makes the experience more fun and sociable. As a result, adding friends is generally the first thing many players do after hooking up a PS3. There are two ways to add a friend from the PS3 menu. The first method lets you view the last 50 people you have played with online and add individuals from that group; the second method involves entering the PlayStation Network ID associated with the player you want to add manually.
