I'm not in the EU, but had 2 accounts with Sony/Playstation (I'm pretty sure both sat unused for more than 3 years). I tried to delete one and it seemed impossible. The FAQ said to call support. I called, waiting for 45 minutes, and they said they couldn't help me and hung up before I could respond.

While I believe they would delete a user's games, I don't know if they would actually willingly give up holding on to customer data.

My guess is this is more of a CYA incase they want to clean up accounts at some point, rather than something they actively do.

So basically you get worst of both worlds, great.

		And on top of that, Sony will probably get hacked again, as has already happened a couple times. That was a primary reason why I actually wanted my account gone, not just inactive.
