I'm in the process of creating a new PSN ID and there seems to be a problem. I accidently deleted an account of mine with a certain name and when I try to get that name again it says the name is unavailable, though I just had it yesterday! I've also tried a few other names and none work. Has this happened to anyone else? Also, for the sake of curiosity, is it possible to have a space/spaces in PSN ID's?
Yah that happened to me, I was trying to create a PSN ID and thinking on what getting so i kept trying bunch of stuffs then all of a sudden the one i would like to have says now its unavailable but im pretty sure it is. So just give it couple of days and dont try it everyday due to it wont work. give it like a week and it should work.
ok thx alot. Yea I think I'm just going to try to sign in again with the account I thought I lost. Oddly enough, when I initially input the name of this "lost" account when I first got my PS3 I was told that it was not available. Then, after trying to continue around 5 times with the same name (because I wanted the name so badly) I no longer received the screen that told me the name was unavailable but instead I was pleasantly surprised by seeing that the name had magically passed! So, this occurence (which actually happened, I promise) is why I'm a bit skeptical of the availability of PSN ID's.
lol that's so messed up dude. Imagine how many people weren't as lucky as we were and did not get the PSN ID they wanted although it may have been available. Sony should fix this problem ASAP because if word gets out that such a problem exists (which it obviously does) and if it's widespread (which is not so obvious) than I can imagine alot of PS3 owners getting pretty frustrated and upset.
