In a move that seemed almost inevitable, Sony has revealed that the Playstation Network will soon become the Sony Entertainment Network. This move is Sony's way of creating "unity between [our] services and the multiple Sony devices where they can be accessed."

"The goal is for there to be one networked log-in for all Sony services. By changing the name 'PlayStation Network account' to 'Sony Entertainment Network account', helps clarify the unity between PSN and other Sony Entertainment Network services. Users can enjoy the same services continuously without being required to change their username and password. However, this change will not affect the naming of "PlayStation Network accounts" when viewed on a PSP system."

So even though we may no longer be able to refer to it as the "PSN," the change to SEN appears to not affect gamers at all. The name change is about all that it will affect, and the services offered on your Playstation consoles will remain the same. This change will occur next Wednesday, February 8th.
