(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so I've seen many posts around the forum of people asking for this function. I don't believe it's necessary so I'll just share some points of MY thoughts about the topic.
1.
It is obviously going to create havoc between the community...
Take this as an example. Ok my psn is Harbz2011 say I change it to something else, but then change my mind and do not like my new ID. I try to change it back but I get told my OLD username is currently in use... I have a funny feeling that will cause distress to all

2.
It isn't really necessary. There are a lot more concerning functions that Sony must add into PSN. Quite frankly you should have chosen the definate username you would like to use for PSN when you first signed up...

3.
It's quite possible you will lose track of your friends. Unless there's a function informing you of all the name changes you won't know who's who... If there isn't that function then nobody is really going to be assed to send a message to all your friends list stating that you've changed your ID. It will just piss people off...

Feel free to disagree or agree with me.. These are just my thoughts about it.

1) You shouldnt change your name unless you're absolutely sure you want to, if you're giving up your old username then you shouldnt get angry when someone takes it, its up for grabs.
2) Its always nice for a change. Especially when you have a lot of online data on your first account but it was a couple of years ago when you decided on the name, and it just sounds a bit dumb to you now.
3) Well if you have real friends on PSN then its not hard to let them all know or post it in your personal comment..

I think it should happen.

Nice feedback +rep

If it's a name change then we should atleast have a certain amour of money to buy it like 1.99 to name change?

Sounds reasonable either pay for a change or have a pretty damn good reason to have it changed!

Maybe you shouldn't be able to change your user name, maybe Sony should just add a display name for PSN.

Nah changing ID isnt good, will get too confused hah

1. It's could be possible for Sony to create an ID history. As a result, if you change names, this ID history can be used to allow you to select an old name again but still be charged for it.

2. There are other features that could be added, but there is a huge difference between features we want and features people are dumb enough to pay for. I have one name, I like it and I won't change it, but I know people who'd change their name on a weekly basis and they'd be dumb enough to spend money doing it. So that's win for Sony.

3. Personal messages could just be changed to say "formerly INSERTNAME".It also wouldn't be that big of an issue to send a message to a few people saying the name is changed or Sony add an icon or some sort of sign that shows a person changed their name. Former names could be listed on the trophy cards with languages and things like that.

Just make a new account if you wanna change your psn id that bad

what if i had many id's and in this id i buy some staff .. another id another staff?? what do u think ??
