[quote name='FriskyTanuki']If you have a friend with a PS3, I think you could create your own name which you can use for whenever you do get a PS3. I know Shipwreck was able to bring his old username from his first PS3 over to the one he has now with no problem. Otherwise, I don't think you can unless you can find someone on the intarwebs you could trust to do it for you.[/QUOTE]Yeah, a friend wants me to do the same for him, but I'm not sure.
Personally, I'm kind of glad people can't reserve names. The ones who are committed to buying a PS3 should get first dibs on name IMO. One reason I got my PS3 when I did was to assure I got "ManaKnight" on my favorite console brand.
