Going toward "read ID" is a better move. We don't need to refer to people as bigbonghitz2421 or terrorkiller09. There is a good chance your friends list can consist of people who already know in real life anyway. Maybe a lack of anonymity will decrease the juvenile nature that plagues the internet...but probably won't.

This. Eveytime I clean my friend list there are guys I don't know if I can remove or not (some guys is just to play some games online for trophy and not real friends)

That's funny, because i don't see your real name up on here.

This is just silly...They already said it's optional.

@kitler: haha 

Must have missed that part- where exactly does it say it's optional?

Oh no! I'm sorry Sony but this is too much. I can't handle all of the OPTIONS you're giving me. Guess I'll stick with PS3 until the revoke this OPTION and make things simpler for me.

Howsabout no. And I really don't believe that you'd be forced to show your real name. That's just asking for trouble.
There might be an option to log into PSN using a Facebook account though.

People cried whenever Blizzard did it, but the millions of people who bought Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 got over it.

...you mean like my real name is shown on facebook?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Yes, PSN IDs will be able to display real info and profiles will be more social network like than just simple friends list and trophies. Just like this



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

I watched the conference twice and both times I heard Mark Cerny talk about anonimity.

I'm most probably making a 2nd facebook/youtube/twitter/etc accounts to upload my stuff on there. None of my real life friends are actual gamers.
