Dear xxxx,

On February 8, 2012, your “PlayStation®Network account” will be renamed a “Sony Entertainment Network account” or a “SEN account” in conjunction with Sony Computer Entertainment’s PlayStation®3 system software and PlayStation®Vita system software updates. (Note, this change will not be applied to the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system at this time.)

For general purposes, this account change is a change in name only. Your username or password will not change, nor are we asking you to change them. In accordance with this transition, some necessary naming changes will be made to the TOS and Privacy Policy.

This transition is based on Sony’s goal to enhance its unique digital entertainment offering. As a series of these activities Sony started last September, PlayStation®Network will be aligned with “Sony Entertainment Network.” This helps us get closer to our goal of establishing a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music and more, all accessible from one convenient account.

Thank you for your continued loyalty and support during this transition.

Sincerely,
The Sony Entertainment Network Team

I'm guessing they will be using SEN on non-playstation products then like eReaders and stuff?

No big deal really, can't say I'm all that suprised either as it makes more sense this way (given their other products out there).

Considering I already had to sign onto a SEN account to handle redeeming codes and account management for my PSN account, which seemed like it was way to many steps, as others have said, about time.

Thank you for posting that before I had the chance to! :laugh:



Back on-topic, I don't mind the change in name. If it means it'll unify their services (so no separate PSN and SOE accounts), then good!
