    I recently created my Portable ID and for some reason its showing me being in the UK even though Im in Ireland and registered in Ireland!

    Is there anyway to change this? as you can see from my Id below, im a PSN n00b! :o

    I think the flag is based on geo-location & IP address.
    If your ISP at home is giving out a UK address, then that may be why its showing up like that.

    The only place that doesnt have an Irish IP address is the office tho.

    I think it's just as easy as logging in to playstation.ie, then getting your trophy card.

    On the Official Playstation website, log in, scroll down to the bottom of the "My Profile" page, there is a country selector, select Ireland and then refresh your PSN details.
    You will also need to update your portable ID.
    You will now have the Irish flag on your ID.
