PSN = Sony Entertainment Network (SEN)

[Oleh]

According to emails being sent out to PlayStation Network users, Sony is planning on changing their online service’s name.
The newly named “Sony Entertainment Network” is set to become the official name of the service on February 8, 2012. It is not clear whether this will actually mean anything significant, but perhaps Sony is trying to shut out doubts that crept in back when their security was compromised last year.
The email reads:

It appears that Sony is trying to go in a different direction, much like the direction Microsoft went in when it secured other entertainment media like Netflix and other applications. Fortunately, as mentioned in the email, this change will not mean users will have to change their PSN ID or password. Only one thing will be noticeable from the change outside of the name, and that is a new terms of service agreement that must be confirmed before using the SEN on both the PS3 and PS Vita.

I have yet to get this email, but if legit it probably means other products that aren't under the PS brand will be integrated somehow.

I've not received this email, are you sure this is legit?

The change has now happened, although if you still use the ps3 afer the system update today, itll still show it as Playstation Network

I'd say this is the worst news I heard of Sony recently, but it isn't. (LittleBigPlanet Karting lol, I really hope that isn't legit).

Anyway it does make more sense, but SEN doesn't have the same ring to it as PSN.
