PS3 User Icon/Avatar question

[ScarySquirrel]

Hello.

I loaded up a custom PNG onto my PS3 so that I didn't have to use one of those stupid faces as my user icon any more, and it changed fine and looks good. However, I can only see it when I scroll all the way to the left on the XMB.

If I am over to the right, where the friends list is, it shows my names amongst my friends (all 5 of them) but it still shows one of the standard PS3 faces.

Does anyone know how I can change this?

Some of my friends have custom icons so I am sure I am just missing something.

Your local account avatar, and PSN account avatar are totally separate aren't they?

I know how to customise your local one, but not seen how to change the PSN image.

Oh really? That sucks. Why are such simple things not possible on a PS3?

Not saying you cant do it, just that I don't know how to change the PSN one.

Ah, I found this http://ps3explained.com/beginner/change-your-psn-avatar/

Looks like you can't use your own though

Thanks for yoru post though. I had Google'd so much stuff and not had any luck, when you mention PSN icon (I had been searching PS3 icon) I searched for that and got this link straight away
