Can I change my XBL name, or am I stuck with what I have?

I think they charge so you don't go changing your name ever other day. MMO's where you can change your name usually charge for it too. The option is there, but they don't want you doing it a lot or without thought.

How does PSN handle that, btw? Just curious.

Why do they care if you change your name everyday or not?

PSN you can change your name all you want, so I heard from people that have multiple names.

hint: get friends on your friends list to report your name as racist or whatever it is. When you get enough complaints they suspend your account until you change your name... free of charge.

Everything from stopping people from being harassed to a simple need to lighten workload on the people who work there.

That's why people should put a little thought into their names and think long term

I think it makes sense to charge, although I also think that it could be cheaper than $10 and still dissuade people from doing it constantly.

Sure they're changing their names and not making multiple accounts?
