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

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.

As long as my current username, password, settings and everything else stays intact, I could care less.

WHY WHY WHY do people misuse this saying? Please watch :p

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!

Because not everybody uses British English? It still makes sense if you aren't anally retentative and ignore the literal meaning.

That's like me calling you a female as long as you ignore the literal meaning of it, after all they are humans too?

Are you asking us if they are humans too? Yes, they are humans too.

This seems to be unanimous; it's a good idea.

In reality though, it'll still be the same old PS-SEN(say fast) :rofl:

Yeah, but I think a lot of people are a little OCD about (holy ****, I just received my email about this name change. Freaky coincidence) accounts and their names and accessing them. Having it unified just seems neater.

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027

      Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more

      Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control. Get them at the links below: Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 Soundbar (HT-A9000): $998.00 (Amazon US) (Was: $1498) Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 Soundbar (HT-A9000): $798.00 (Amazon US) (Was: $998) Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 7 Soundbar (HT-A7100): $618.00 (Amazon US) (Was: $768) Sony BRAVIA Theater System 6: $548.00 | Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 6: $448.00 Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 5 (HT-B500): $278.00 (Amazon US) (Was: $348) Sony HT-S400 2.1 soundbar: $198.00 (Amazon US) (Was: $248) Aside from those, we also have more discounts including from Samsung, Polk Audio, and more: Samsung Q-Series Soundbar HW-QS90H 7.1.2: $797.99 (Amazon US) (Was: $998) Polk Audio Signa S4: $336.00 (Amazon US) (Was: $449) Hisense AX3120Q: $229.00 (Amazon US) (Was: $259) Check out more soundbar deals that you may like at this link.
