Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony to allow PSN ID name change

A bit annoying that it didn't come sooner really. I'm currently on my 3rd PSN account. Granted the main reason for that is due to regions, but user name was 100% of the reason for the 1st account change and still contributed to the 2nd.

Well, then choose a good name in the first place instead of something stupid such as "Ka-pi". Jk

 

OT: Good to see Sony continue to implement requested features. Now only 6 of the 25 most requested features left.

Wishlisting exists, doesn't it?

Also what do you mean by 18. Ability to clean up download list?

Isn't it already implemented, thanks to a previous update?



Sounds fairly poor but still, the essentials are there, which is the most important part. It sure sounds like some questionable design choices were made at some point.

I might be crazy, but I believe you could already clean up your download list from a previous update.

Still, this is a very interesting list, and I'd personally wish for Backwards Compatibility to be done on PS4, despite the hurdle of PS3 emulation on a different hardware. Hopefully this is done before the PS5 is announced, which will hopefully be compatible with every Sony console that came before it.

Personally don't care as I'm happy with my name. Sony making all the right moves though ahead of the PS5. A nice little revenue stream. I could see this bringing in over $50m over a few years.

1: Yeah, wish listing exists here in the web version of PS Store but many request the feature to be available directly on PS4 (together with gift giving).

2: Oh, you're right. I'll update the list. Thanks
I wonder why it's still unticked on the most requested list. Can you also clean your "library" on PS3 and Vita?

1: Thanks. Will update the list

2: Yeah, it's pretty interesting to see that so many features are added eventually. Better late than never, I guess.
I'd be surprised if PS5 didn't have bc with PS4 games (and maybe other PS consoles). I might only use it myself for a few PS1 and PS2 classics if they get trophy support but it's still a really nice feature to have especially to avoid droughts in the beginning of a gen. Additionally, with full bc on PS5 it wouldn't be that big of a deal if one's PS1/PS2/PS3/PS4 console died.



glad they did it



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

Social Media / Internet : PS are becoming anti consumer!

PS : Hold my beer...



Soon there won't be anything negative to say about PlayStation and PSN. I'll be out of business!
