The ability to change your psn name. Well, it wouldn't let you change the name itself, of course. But you could change it on your console so that you can trick yourself that you actually have a new name.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they rolled it out this update.

Even if they use psn_id as a database key, you can migrate to a safer system by simply dropping a new column on the table and overlay the table with a view that the stored procedures reference instead.



Improve stability.

No really, I hope it's native BC. Or the ability for PS+ players to insert discs and redeem free play time on Now as long as the disc for the corresponding game is in.

You'd need more than PS+ for the numbers to balance out.

PS+ already pays for too many features as well as only costs $4.17 a month. Additionally, the PS Now servers would become overloaded with people not contributing additional funds, and the infrastructure would shit itself.

Then introduce pay tiers. PS+ Basic and PS+ Premium. Basic is everything we have more, Premium would be including Vue and Now.

PSN name changing is already a thing, it's in Japan, but never got rolled out anywhere else.

Now that I live in Asia, I see people doing it constantly. Playing CoD, the player log on the bottom left will show "XYZ changed their name to ABC" about 2 or 3 times a game.
