Sony plans to change the name of the PlayStation Network on Feb.8th

Over the weekend Sony announced that on this Wednesday, February 8 our "PlayStation Network Accounts" will no longer go by that name. The new name for the once PSN will now be going by "Sony Entertainment Network account." If you are wondering if this will affect your PSN accounts it wont.

The name change is purely just for a face lift of sorts and you will have no need to change your username or password. Also the PSN will remain unaltered so there is a sigh of relief there.  Sony says "Changing the name 'PlayStation Network account' to 'Sony Entertainment Network account' helps clarify the unity between PSN and other Sony Entertainment Network services." Sony also stated that "The goal is for there to be one networked log-in for all Sony services."

I for one think the new name change is a bit dumb and asking friends what is their SEN account name doesn't roll off the tongue so smoothly. Oh well i'm just glad that nothing besides the name is changing and that I will still be getting the quality services that I love for my PSN... oh I mean my now SEN experience.
