It seems like they CAN'T change names for whatever reason, not that they just don't let people. If someone gets their name reported for being offensive their whole account it banned, unlike with Xbox which assigns a randomly generated name to replace the offensive one. It really sucks.

It's such BS that you can't I'd love to change the shitty PSN name I chose in fucking 05. Can't be bothered to make a new acc because I have such a vast library of games connected to my account already.

I made an account on PSN a few months ago with a usual screen name of mine. No numbers or underscores used, just letters. If you can't do this with your screen name then it is unoriginal and you need to come up with a new one.

Holy shit fuck playstation
OP here, was checking names on my console, checked a couple I wouldn't mind, then made this thread and went to have lunch. I came back to my console and now the few names that were available before say unavailable now. Apparently Sony uses a reservation system where if you check a name, and it's available but don't take it right away, it makes it unavailable for 48 hours. So now if I want to use one of those names I have to wait two days for them to unlock again.
Guess no vidya for me this weekend. Fucking sony.
Go watch old episodes of To Catch a Predator and use the dudes screen names as your PSN name.

I got tired of trying to come up with a good PSN name so I just chose some meaningless gibberish word I came up with on the spot. It still took me like 3 tries to get one that wasn't taken.
I wish they used a better system like ICQ where they assign you a number ID and just let you pick whatever name you want and let you change it whenever.
>>378973394
You're pretty retarded then because I just started a new account and I got the name I wanted on my very first try,.

Why hello there xbox nigger, remember all the shit talking you did back in the day against us sonybros? What? Did you get tired of the poos only giving you only a new halo madden and cod every year to play? Now you want a sweet user ID in our glorious playstation sonybro club, but cant cause you fell for the gearshalocod machine meme? You'd best get down on your knees and beg for an ID like "Imaniggerfaggot420" xbot dog. Or you can hop on the nintendo shortbus and join them, they are more accepting since their club is small anyways. Maybe in another life you wont betray glorious nippon gaming club for westaboo poopoopee

Sony servers are about as secure as your mother's snatch so there's really no need to worry because you'll get hacked anyways.
>>378987502
Well, it makes it easier for people to figure out who you are and potentially steal your identity.
Aside from that, people could use anything you do or say against you in real life. Call someone a faggot out of anger? They'll post it on Facebook. Call someone a nigger for whatever reason? They'll call your employer and maybe get you fired. Disagree with someone on a serious issue? A horde of self-righteous children and manchildren will raid you because "it's okay to".

No. If we all had different screen names OP and his fellow faggots would not have this problem. Too many people use unoriginal and uninspired screen names and they shouldn't be surprised when they're already taken. You need to make up your own word or find a reference that is truly obscure.
