How to Look Up a PS3 Game ID

There are various PS3 game IDs you can look up. There are the PS3 gaming IDs, which are the names of your friends on PSN (PlayStation Network,) or there are the actual alpha-numerical game IDs of your PS3 games. Whichever one you want to check is up to you, although the latter is only really used when developing for the PS3 platform. You can only look up users on PSN that have added you as a friend.
