During the preview, you will be able to change your online ID as many times as you want. The first change is free, and changes after that will cost €9.99/£7.99. For PlayStation Plus members, it will cost €4.99/£3.99 after the first change. Changes to online ID can be made through the Settings menu or the Profile page of your PS4.

It's been so long that, aside from unifying my online names to all be the same, I'm not sure I'm actually bothered about changing it any more.

I'm shook. Megaton out of nowhere.

Edit: seems complicated TBH, what with all the potential incompatibilities with older games etc.

I lost access to my old account way back in the PS3 days so I'm interested to hear if they're going to wipe old/inactive accounts to free up the namespace. I'm fairly certain Microsoft currently does this.

This is hilarious. Missing a day one feature, then you beta test it so certain name changes will be taken and then you've got the balls to charge for it too.

Oh I guess all the xX and number people can change it up.

Should be free for PSN+ members.

First one is free and any name change after that is $10. $4.99 if you're a ps+ member.
Can't wait to change it. Hopefully the one I want isn't taken.
