Xbox says hello!

I've got no need to change mine but I know a few that want to change it.

Not true. Lots of places sell 'out-of-region' PS Plus and PSN Wallet cards... try https://www.play-asia.com/search/psn

Lots of places also check your region or the region of your paypal account or credit card.

It wouldnt be nearly as bad if Sony wasnt blocking foreign paypal accounts. I live in the US but I cant buy games from Europe, even though they're always more expensive so im clearly not trying to cheat.

Its absolutely ridiculous. Their community forums always tell you to just create another account but have fun managing that when you switch around 2 consoles.

I very much want to change my PSN username but the potential of losing trophies and savedata and not knowing what will happen to my PS3/Vita games is too big of a risk.

nothing will happen to your ps3 and vita games, they will still use your old name

That's why you think things before doing them :teach:

.
I have been Sakitoshi (Sakitoshi15 on psn because numbers are needed) since I was 14 or so.

"Numbers are needed" Is this a new requirement or did you need them since the name was already taken?

When I created my psn id I was told to add a number to my id. Maybe the name was already taken, but I doubt it since my nickname is unique enough and have never been taken before me in any site I register (except twitter for some reason).

As someone who has studied DB design, I’m still curious to know what the real reason for this is.

I suspect they’ve used the username as the unique id, which was something I learned not to do within weeks back in uni.

No thanks.

...the fact that I'm usually Duwen (or a slight variation of that name) on every gaming platform I use, makes life very simple.

I like the name Duwen. Though in dutch it means "shoving/pushing" But it's a cool name nonetheless.

I changed my name back when the preview program first started and thankfully haven't had any issues. I do own games that seem to be a problem though. At the end of the day though, it's highly unlikely I will return to them and care but it is a shame they weren't forward thinking on it from the beginning with PS4.

about god damn time

This is exclusive to people who are side the US. No place to change it online nor the ps4. Contacted Sony and they said this isn’t supported for US players

Thinking of changing my username to hakoom_the_cheetah

Whoever you talked to is wrong. You can't do it yet because the feature still isn't live. Sony claims it won't be live until later this evening PST, so likely another few hours before it's available.

Why thanks, only 10 years too late.
