I do sometimes.   I usually accept them.   I figure I meet them in an online game or something. And since I'm such a cool guy, who can blame them:P

I've gotten some where they're like 'HI, I'M FROM GAMESPOT'

 

Like...what? I still don't know who you are, it's not like it MEANS anything

Yes I get them. I usually don't accept them. Except I accepted one that was a Patriots fan  like me.

Very rarely. They're annoying as hell especially the ones where they don't bother to tell you who they are, where they got your name, etc. I wouldn't let a complete stranger enter my house if they knocked on my door and just stood there not saying anything. So why would I even acknowledge these people sending me random, blank friend requests?

Yes, about 3-4 per week. I generally always except. However I do delete people that send spam or constant COD invites

Only when I play BF3, it doesn't happen very often though and can be a 50/50 split between those who were on my team or the opposing team. Gotten a few from people after a match where I am heli pilot for most of it - mostly people who want to be my gunner of choice so they can raise their KDR *rolls eyes*.

Yes I do and I ask how or where they know me from. If they don't answer, I reject their friend request.

All the time. I usually deny blank ones unless it's from someone I know already.

Never completely random. They usually say where they are from and I always accept. What difference does it really make?


Is this why PS3 users are seen as social loser?

i double check if they are from cod, then i add them. delete them like a week later. I don't know why people add randomly when they don't even invite you to play any games.

Yeah, I like when they at least tell me where they're from though. I've gotten random adds from GameSpot, random online games, and even from my relatively popular levels in Infamous: Festival of Blood. I hardly even play online anymore or interact with my friends on my list, but I accept requests anyway.
