PSN Accounts Changing To SEN Accounts Soon

It's nothing more than a cosmetic change for PlayStation Network users, but soon you will have a Sony Entertainment Network Account instead.

You may have to scroll down and ignore the text of a new user agreement once the change occurs, but other than that everything will likely stay the same.

According to an e-mail being sent out to PlayStation Network users, the change is being put into effect to, "get closer to [Sony's] goal of establishing a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music and more, all accessible from one convenient account."

If you haven't gotten an e-mail alerting you to the change already, you should be getting one soon.

Email the author Kyle Hilliard, or follow on Twitter, Google+, Facebook, and Game Informer.

I wonder if the SEN will be as easy to hack as the PSN was :/
by Lflaks Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 11:45 AM

Meh I really don't care so long as the fundamentals of the service stays the same. And doesn't get hacked
by ArnoldTorres13 Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 11:46 AM

I got no problem with this. Now I gotta get used to saying SEN. I hope I dont get tougue tied by saying SNES, NES, ESPN, ESN, PSN, FSN, MSN, MSNBC etc. etc. etc. you get the point

Interested if it has anything to do with something in the works, the next console... change of name perhaps.
by FallenAC Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 11:49 AM

I hope the next console isn't called the Sony Entertainment System or something like that.
by jmeyer2039 Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 11:50 AM

It would be cool if they started allowing us to change our user id with this. But I doubt it.
by Warrior Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 11:52 AM

Eh, PSN sounds cooler to say than SEN but whatever.
by Boyzby Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 11:54 AM

I suppose it makes sense to give one brand for all platforms. I do like the PlayStation name more, though.
by Taciturn Tactician Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 11:55 AM

Makes sense. It's basically the same thing Google did recently, consolidating accounts for its users. Makes things more convenient on both ends.

Ma n i nhate user agreements, ah well, ill skipit anyway. And now that my sony account is universal across sony products, might ne purchasing a sony smart tv.
by Solstice Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 12:21 PM

First thing that came to mind was Sen's Fortress lol. I don't like it. I like the name PSN more but oh well.
by Xelar001 Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 12:28 PM

the PS4 will be name the Sony Entertainment Console Fourth Generation or SECFG since they want to move away from the Play Station brand.
by Pherostatic Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 12:38 PM

Humm interesting.
by kevinsomnia Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 12:46 PM

I'm just going to keep calling it PSN. FIGHT THE POWER!!
by ynoT0312Taz Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 12:47 PM

Put it backwards and it's NES :O
by alan Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 12:49 PM

why? they had a name and all their doing is changing it? whats the point in doing that? sony is not making any sense with this decision.
by ldelagarza12 Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 12:53 PM

As long as its not run by any Douchebags who cant protect their servers I'm fine with that.
by LunarStarFox Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 12:56 PM

Sounds like they're building skynet! :o
by bartandbucky Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 01:05 PM

And yet life goes on.....
by sean Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 01:14 PM

amazing how sony likes changing its name constantly, yet it wont do anything to fix some of its broken parts of its system, ie the internet browser, youtube, facebook integration, party system and removing 0% trophies from its system.
