Hopefully, they will make it so that you need to reactivate. That way, the users that have used a PS3 just once will have their name freed.

I doubt we could change our names. The problem seems to be that the way they built the system to begin with didn't have changing the name in mind. So attempting to change the SEN will seriously fuckover the account, IMO.

The reason we couldn't change our names on the PS3, is that purchases were tracked by your online ID (hence the -'s and _'s), instead of your account ID (like they are on XBL) like it should've been.

With the PS4 coming, and alot of changes coming to PSN, it's very possible that we could see this become a reality, which I honestly don't see why it couldn't happen.

What if your PSN is banned but you use this new option on ps4 to change ID but keep trophies. Will you able to transfer trophies on a banned name and be about to play on the new name you created on this new feature with those trophies?

Doubtful, Sony would still know who you are even if you change it.
