10 years of waiting, felt so good changing that shitty ass name.

I hope there are no issues.

Sure would be nice if someone could part with a EU-code since we in EU never get any codes via email. I even have all material opted in. Want to change my name and test out the features. Thanks in advance.

Yes, again from me too. If there is a code left and someone doesn't need it, I would love to go all in here and would love to get an PM.

I've had no issues whatsoever on ps4, but I have yet to test out some ps3/vita games!

Might do so tonight
Actually do you happen to have any MGS save data on PS3? That's the only PS3 content I'd really be concerned about, and I read somewhere that someone said they couldn't earn trophies on them anymore

I do have 2, 3 and 4 save data. I'll try and get around to it and report back. I'll most likely test mgs4 due to me having more trophies in that to unlock.

Downsampling setting not works anymore on my pro. Anyone knows if it's a firmware issue? I reinstalled it nothing is changed.

I think the problem lies on the fact that PSN wasn't built to support SHELL accounts. As a result, the name displayed in all games/leaderboards is actually the CORE name which is also tied to licences. I think Sony is unable/afraid/not ready yet to provide true SHELL accounts while making sure you don't lose your licences or online data so they are sidestepping the issue. From what I understand, based on what Sony has said about name changes and what some people are experiencing, Sony is using a weird implementation that's not really a SHELL name but not a CORE name either.
It also seems to be temporary to phase out legacy games and devices. By next gen we might be there in full.

Are people on 6.02 still able to change their name or has the feature basically been turned off until it launches next year?

Dang it I just barely got internet in for my PS4 for the first time since September. And the beta is over? Shoot.

I wonder if this will be the last major feature that we can except this late in the ps4's lifecycle.

btw, not sure when it was added, but I just noticed that you can change/add your profile picture without using FB account:


*snip*

Maybe they added the option to the website recently, but you've been able to set your profile picture via the PS app on your phone for a long time now. I've been using random garbage as my picture without ever linking my facebook account.

any news on the full release yet?
I was fortunate enough to get into the beta thanks to a user here, but still good for this to go live for others.

I thought I had read that it was meant to happen in January?

Waiting rather patiently... but I thought it'd be publically released by now, given how long ago the beta started.
