(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.

Doing that would cost you everything you've bought and all your trophies. Yes you still have the account, but I have friends who hate the fact they wanted a new name, created a new account and had to start over again on trophies. Sometimes doing games twice just to have it on both accounts.

Xbox is great
I admit that having to make another user for a different PSN name is a pain in the ass but so would having people youve never heard of on your friends list youve never heard of before! (those who would use the Change Gamertag function if it was in the new FW)

I just don't want to lose all my trophies by making a new account :(

I'd like the option to change my ID like on XBL.

Make users pay like £4.99 to change it. Also keep the previous ID unavailable for 28 days for other people incase the original user wants it back.
