Forums - Sony - PS4 Petition: Sub-Account to Master-Account

Having a sub-account sucks. Sign this to let Sony know that we want to be able to upgrade our sub-accounts to master-accounts.

Thanks.

 

Edit: A sub-account is something you had to create on PS3 when you were under 18 (7 years ago for me). I am now older than 18 so I should be able to turn my sub-account into a master-account. Why? Because a sub-account has several restrictions. Not being able to get PS+ is one of them.

Signed! I have a sub-account because I made my PSN account at the launch of the PS3 when I was under the age of 18. I am now over 18 and can't redeem my PS Plus or access many features on the PS4 which require a master account. Needs to be fixed...

Why won't you just make a new master account? And then buy the stuff your dad bought for you from psn again?

I'd like to keep my PSN name and trophies... Also, you going to give me the money to buy everything again? Didn't think so...

I'd like to keep my old account. Keeps me from having to go through the trouble of adding everyone on my friends list, save money from not having to re-buy games that I have already bought, etc...

ah, I was never aware of these sub accounts or not being able to change them, is there no way at all to do it? maybe a ring to customer support and ask if there isn't an option on the system since obviously you'll want to keep your trophies, altho.... you will have a hard time getting through to their support in the next few days I'd say... they're kinda launching the ps4 haha :D

Yeah, I have googled it and there is currently no way to upgrade from a sub to master-account.

I would think this wouldn't be too hard to do though. But of course with PS4 releasing I wouldn't expect it to be first priority.
