Have good news for you and i wish to share the stuff i found out. To those who have played that game on a 80GBs PS3 or so, there is a supposed impossible to pass glitch in the tutorial part in the very beginning, that the friend card goes to you before time.

Well i passed that glitch simple and clean with no transfer of other save data of the save point after, i found out this trick by just experimenting, and it worked! i passed the glitch, so the trick is, to press pause every single moment and yet let the guy keep talking of course pressing X so he can do faster on the dialogue, but keep pressing pause, and with luck the friend card will go to you just after the guy finishes talking.

It worked for me, hope it works for you furs with that, if not, well i dunno, guess it was luck or the timing i dunno, but good luck with it. XD
