Topic.

I've spent money on my account and I know I can change my username on Steam (free) and Xbox Live (for a fee). I want to keep the data but change the username.

As of right now there is no way to change it. This doesn't bother me because I'm happy with it, but some people like to for some reason.

Yes, you can. Just add a new USER, register it to a different email (even a fake one), and Bob's yer uncle. All DLC, PSN games, etc will be available. Trophies and current game progress/ online XP are the only thing you'll be missing. But if you just want a different name to play online games, for example, it's that easy. You'll start from scratch with all XP in whatever games you're playing, but man-up... It's "Replay Value".

Too bad you can't transfer PSN avatars. or use them on my other accounts

Not sure about online passes either.

No, is the answer your looking for. Changing the name of your PSN ID is impossible as of right now. You'll just have to create a new account if you really want to change your username.

Haha, so true. I restarted when I was at level 7 so that sucked not having past games on my track record :( but it gives a reason to play Journey again. Even with losing my trophy list, I'm much happier having changed my username than to go around with a name I hated.
