when i first bought my PS3 in 2007 before trophies i didnt care for ID names and i was too excited to get an online ID name i wrote down the first thing that came to my mind which was Gundam Destiny. gundam destiny didnt work but Destiny89 worked :P.. i tbh now hate the name :(

Great list. My favorite is actually the last one. I hate all those 0% games in my trophy list. I hope they let you guys change your IDs too. Seems to be a problem for a lot of you.

Pretty good list, some of them aren't too big of a deal, but still if all of that happened, then PSN would be significantly better.

Good list, I agree with the USB thing. I convinced myself that the system was charging my controller when the thing was off, but now I hear the truth :(

I agree with all of them. The thing is, they're all so seemingly simply (except for maybe the customizable in game XMB) that there's no excuse for Sony to avoid putting them in. Letting people rename their accounts for a fee means extra income, Sony. And what's so hard about letting us delete 0% games from our Trophies list?

I've never had a problem with charging my controller and I've no problems with my PSN name (mainly because I thought about it before I signed up) but the ram issue bugs me. Customisable XMB could work, but I'd love to see a USB memory expansion - shame it wasn't a suggestion but I'm sure there will be a technical reason for it.

Would prefer to see PS2 b/c back (my 60 G PS3 YLoD'd) but I do like the idea of HD re-issues.

Not interested in Cross Media chat as non of my friends have headsets.

Love the idea of seperate PSN logins and Auto Read Message.

Deleting trophies I'm not bothered about and although the more avatars the better it's not a big priority for me.

The "tethered to your ps3" argument while charging the controller is sort of pointless.I just put my labtop next to me and plug my controller into it. Problem solved.

I personally find cross-game chat to be pointless.

Deleting 0% games from you trophy list would be great since i get 0% whenver a friend brings a game over that i don't have.

There are a bunch of new avatars now but they do cost money. ( I own 2 and im pretty cheap so i don't see avatars as a major problem)

Changing your name seems like a good option to let people have.

Can't say I care for much of those. Some are good, like the ps2 games ideas and the seperate psn logins would be sweet. However I know lots of it depends on how you use your ps3, and I'm fine with all those improvements if they did come. I wouldn't change my psn ID for a price though, free maybe, buy not with money. In addition though, I would like to be able to change my address (and hence my psn store location) since, people move a lot, and I moved countries too. I hate opening the psn store, knowing content won't be compatible with games I bought from my new area. It wouldn't be much of a hassle if there were no trophies, but even so, I'd still hate to have to create a whole new ID, just because I moved.

Just faster loading would be enough for me, maybe delete 0% trophies.

i read this about a week ago. its a good list and i agree with most of them, if not all of them. it would make the ps3 better even if its slight changes.

not only deleting 0% trophies, but any we dont want, and why cant we sort them from highest % to lowest?

new avatars would be a good edition, the current ones are terrible, there were only a small handful i choosed from that i thought looked good, and we shouldnt have to be paid for either.

With nick changeing, what probably stops them is chanky frind list, ones nickname chane it need to be change in all user that have specific user on that list, it's not problem with offline people but online, they need to upgrade there frind list system first since current one works like it using HTTP as basis. Same goes with trophys, it's not much issue as frind list but such delitation would need sync aftr that, well it's more engginiring problem here that normal people would not care about :p

With USB on sand-by this might be hardware issue, we don't know if USB even can deliver power on stand-by

Too late for me. I literally gave up some big game saves in order to change my PSN ID. Some were copyright protected. I wish I didn't now, but oh well..
