What does the little yellow minus mean on the psn?

When on the PlayStation network sometimes I find that I or my friends have a yellow minus instead of a blue circle or a red "X". I thought this might mean the power is off but I find that I have a minus sometimes so what in the world does it mean?


Solution 1:

According to the PSVita manual, it means "Not available".

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any authoritative source on when someone is considered "Not available", but according to a Reddit post you get this status when:

  • You've manually set it on PS3.
  • Your PS Vita is in standby.
