    I have tried a lot of times, trying to make another Online ID one the same console of my brothers, but it keeps giving me sign out errors. Even when there is nothing to sign out of because I haven't even made an account. So, Is it possible to have multiple Online IDs on one PS3?

    If you didn't know you can make multinational ones too.  Allows you to access other region stores.  e.g. if your US then you can set up a JPN and UK one etc etc

    I have 5 on my PS3 right now.

    1. Mine
    2. Brother-In-Law's
    3. Japan
    4. China
    5. Europe

    they're mostly worthless, but sometimes there's exclusive demos.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Do they all have to be on different profiles though?

    I don't think so, you would just have to re-input your e-mail and password each time you wanted to sign in on a different name.
