The PlayStation Network Joins SEN
Welcome to the Sony Entertainment Network.
February 4, 2012
In an attempt to unify all independent Sony-centric networks, such as the PlayStation Network, the service previously known as Qriocity, and more, Sony has revealed that PlayStation Network accounts will be rebranded as SEN -- or Sony Entertainment Network -- accounts in order to bring more unity between services.
Sony released the following statement to IGN:
"Back at IFA in September, we announced that we would be changing the name of Sony's online entertainment services from Qriocity to Sony Entertainment Network. The reason for this change was so that there was more unity between the 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."
From this information, it appears that PlayStation Network will continue to be known as PSN, but that your login information will act as a global login for all SEN-related services. We've reached out to Sony for further clarification on what this means for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita gamers in particular, and will update with further information as we receive it.
