Playstation Survey Hints at Xbox Live-Style Reputation System on PSN

Being a Jerk On PSN? Stop It, Or You May Be Facing Sony's Wrath Sometime Soon

Oh, what have we here? It looks like Sony's at least entertaining the idea of an Xbox Live-like reputation system, at least if a Sony customer survey over at VGX is to be believed.

The survey has one option titled, "Player reputation system based on a user rating system," with options ranging from "Very appealing" to "Very unappealing."

Although the player reputation part of the survey sticks out the most because it was a recently-implemented feature by Microsoft, VGX points out that it wasn't the only thing brought up in the survey.

"However, the survey also covers a slew of other features that the company may implement in a future PS4 firmware update," VGX reports. "In the survey, users can rate how appealing the following PS4 features would be: player reputation system, advanced matchmaking system, ability to chat across PlayStation platforms, ability to change your PlayStation username, ability to be invisible when online, ability to party chat with more than eight people at the time, ability to synchronize messages across platforms, and on-screen notifications when friends come online."

Some of those other things are also Xbox staples: changing username, on-screen friend notifications, and advanced matchmaking. It is good to see that Sony is really doing work with all that mandatory PS Plus money from their PS4 players, though.

What do you make of this news? Time to clean up your rep on PSN?
