So it works just like PSN and Live? You can befriend anyone... makes sense to me.

friending people should always have some kind of filter, that filter is friend codes, and it works for me

The concept is nice, the problem it's that those friend codes are too long. Having an username is so much better, I can just type "DieAppleDie" and add you, no need to type 12 digits.

Well, there's the conflict a lot of people have with usernames. Many of the ones they want are taken. So then someone has to make theirs Icantthinkofausername153195139591 or something (exaggeration).

That's true, but in general it's easier to type an username than a code. But yeah there are exceptions

the important part of friend codes is that you have to exchange them, what forces you to establish some kind of relation before being console friends, which is better imo

11 digits is so much better than 12.
