I think Sony's missing a golden opportunity. Charge like $5 for people to change their name, and 1) they'll be making millions just off the many casuals who constantly change their name because they really don't care about a single profile ID, and 2) it'll keep the PSN a lot less choked up with people who go out of their way to make new accounts, and they begin the process of deleting all those unused ghost accounts noone cares about.

Sony really needs to learn from MS about making money. The could have made billions if they started charging for online on the PS3 but they didn't . I'm not sure why they are so slow to make changes. 

 To be fair, it was a blessing they didn't charge for online last gen, because of all the features we were missing. PS3 wasn't made with online connectivity as a priority, so it's good that what we got was free. I just hope Sony continues to make financially smart decisions with PS4.
