Alright, thanks. I'll look into it.

If they stand up, put them back down.

Prime, according to the most recent thing from PSN, Scott McCarthy said that he was still looking into the possibility but he wasn't sure if people would actually use it. One person asked him about using the name change one single time (especially since a lot of people have created their accounts when they were super young) and all Scott said was something like "One-time use is the norm. Gamers grow and mature, like the console."

But as of right now, even emailing or calling Playstation won't get your name changed and the reason behind that is that their system considers each new name a completely different person; whereas XBOX had a rep system that follows you no matter how many times you change your name. So the new update would need to have something like that if they were planning on doing it.

Smells like bad/lazy database building to me. Xbox uses a user id variable so that no matter what name you have the system can still find you. It looks like on PSN, the display name is the primary key to finding people on the system. This can be fixed if the PSN programmers shutdown PSN for a couple hours and run a program that assigns a value to be the primary key, or they could add a new variable called "alias" or something that is your actual display name and leave the old name as the primary key. But, they are just hella lazy, so oh well.

If they stand up, put them back down.

Yeah, it could be fixed that way but I don't think they know exactly how to do it without pissing some people off by shutting down the system for a few hours. Oh well, at least you don't have a horrid name to be stuck with.

They could still do it because Scott didn't say no, they just need to get their programmers on it.

You can still be CAG Prime!

...

You'll just lose all of your progress, weapon unlocks, prestige ranks, trophies, and have to refriend everyone.
