Peale kõiki neid aastaid on Sony lõpuks lubanud, et järgmisel aastal saavad PlayStationi kasutajad oma PSN kasutajanime muuta. Beetaversiooniga liitujad saavad seda võimalust juba sel aastal testida.
Siinkohal hoiatab Sony kõiki PlayStationi kasutajaid, et oma PSN kasutajanime muutmine võib endaga kaasa tuua üpriski ebameeldivaid tagajärgi.
Näiteks mitte kõik mängud ja aplikatsioonid ei toeta Online ID vahetust, mistõttu võib juhtuda, et kasutaja jääb ilma näiteks ostetud lisadest või mängusisesest rahast, võib kaotada senise progressi mängus, salvestused, jne. Lisaks võib esineda mängude ja aplikatsioonidega ka mitmeid teisi probleeme.
Kui sa oled üks neist, kel on plaanis oma PlayStationi kasutajanime vahetada, siis siinkohal tasub hoolikalt järele mõelda, kas need probleemid mis võivad tekkida ikka on seda kasutajanime vahetust väärt.
