Do you think it will be implemented into the PS4?

I personally really hope so, the amount of account that people have used and then left accounts to go inactive is crazy, have you tried making a account for one of your friends? Its takes 20 minutes to even get a half decent name ( or a name choosen after your friend has become inpatient of trying), unless you want loads of numbers or extra characters before/after your chosen ID .

So Sony, Let us know...

Now that is why i want my ps3 account to be able to carry over, ive made some really good friends that ive had on my lists for many years and would like to keep them on it rather than start from scratch and lose them all

Yeah but chances are we will have to start from scratch, all these new social aspects, we might run into newer friends, so i recommend only adding your new friends to your "New PSN?- /Transferred PSN same name?-Wtf?" And leaving enough empty space for randoms or new friends. Also how many people can you add? Current people only like 100 people right? There has to be a limit as usual, but if there's no limit at all thats also a bit lame since it might overcrowd your PS4 on startup and cause lag, some people are actually afraid of the PS4 lagging in certain aspects... i just hope it runs smoothly and doesnt blow up/start a fire.

yeah im sure there will be a friends list limit, im hoping its raised from 100 upto 200 or something. most of my friends i have their numbers, facebook, skype and/or twitters so ill be able to salvage a few mates if thats the case

definately wouldnt be for free or even so if it was it would get used so much that sony would clock on and then think we could bbe earning x amount of money each time someone does this etc then it would cost us

I hope they do, there are a lot of people that would change their PSN even if it costs something.

Cross game chat was confirmed a few weeks ago!
