Why shouldn't you be able to change it every day, for free?  Sony is not providing any service here, they're just milking gamers.  

And, hey, if they can make a buck this way, I guess that's good for them.  It just rubs me the wrong way.  

I would imagine PS thinks quite differently about it.

Why do they want or need to change their username in the first place? Ok, well people make mistakes and bad decisions, so let's give them the benefit of the doubt. It'll be quite a bit of extra work, but everyone deserves a second chance right?

Wait, what? They screwed it up again and want to change a third time? Maybe what they need is a little incentive to think harder and make a better long term decision. $5 to $10 fun coupons should do it. For the one's who don't learn or don't care, at least they'll help pay off the cost to make this happen in the first place.

Well would you look at that, everyone wins. Good job everybody! Now where do we stand with BC...?

It is not clear to me that there is any significant work done by Sony. If I'm wrong about that, then I guess a nominal fee is a bit more reasonable. But, I can't get my head around how a PSN ID or Xbox gamertag change causes Sony or Microsoft any noticeable work or expense.
