I just recently bought my PS3.  When I made the profile, I used my full name not knowing that this will be my online profile name for online gaming.  Is there a way to change this without formating my disk?  All help is appreciated.

That won't change anything, it'll just erase your hardrive. On the Network icon go over your account name and press triangle. Go to Account Management, and see what you can do there.

Try getting a new account all together and that will probably work. Just make a new user I guess.

Make a sub account for gaming, and use your main account for purchasing games, etc on the PSN.

Not trying to be a jerk, but when you make your gamer id it clearly says, "do not use your real name".
