just got this email from sony:

Dear Psyko_2000,

On February 8, 2012, your “PlayStation®Network account” will be renamed a “Sony Entertainment Network account” or a “SEN account” in conjunction with Sony Computer Entertainment’s PlayStation®3 system software and PlayStation®Vita system software updates. (Note, this change will not be applied to the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system at this time.)

For general purposes, this account change is a change in name only. Your username or password will not change, nor are we asking you to change them. In accordance with this transition, some necessary naming changes will be made to the TOS and Privacy Policy.

This transition is based on Sony’s goal to enhance its unique digital entertainment offering. As a series of these activities Sony started last September, PlayStation®Network will be aligned with “Sony Entertainment Network.” This helps us get closer to our goal of establishing a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music and more, all accessible from one convenient account.

Thank you for your continued loyalty and support during this transition.

Sincerely,
The Sony Entertainment Network Team

mock if old

 

[Pyrokai]

Ew.

 

[dallow_bg]

Sounds so sinister. I like.

 

[Wario64]

I'm glad they did 18 hours of PSN maintenance to facilitate this change.

 

[Truth101]

NiN vs SeN fight!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

YOU KNOW BELONG TO... SEN! *dramatic thunder*

 

[TheUnknownForce]

We are now all in a state of sen...

 

[Electivirus]

Sounds so SENister. I like.

Fixed.

 

[MikeE21286]

So.....new logo?

New ps3 update for said new logo?

 

[Dead Prince]

Can't wait for the Scheduled Maintenance in 2 weeks.

 

[Deepo]

I'm glad they did 18 hours of PSN maintenance to facilitate this change.

I'm glad that the EU PSN still seems to be undergoing maintenance. You can buy stuff, you just can't download it.

 

[Psykotik]

must be one of Kaz's ideas.

 

[Corran Horn]

Sen is not pleased

 

[wabo]

YOU KNOW BELONG TO... SEN! *dramatic thunder*

 

[NoirVisage]

guady. fixing something that isn't broken is a bad look.

 

[K.Sabot]

SEN sounds more professional. I like it!

 

[SmithnCo]

Ehhh... Everyone's going to still call it PSN accounts of course.

 

[kenta]

Go ahead, Stringer, get this crap out of your system while you can

 

[The Faceless Master]

so will they just search/replace the TOS or will they sneak new and awesome clauses in?

 

[TheUnknownForce]

SEN sounds more professional. I like it!

Well, it's more efficient, at least. Less syllables!

 

[Emitan]

Sen is not pleased

what the fuck is happening to that poor starcraft player

 

[DiscoJer]

I hope they actually do more than a name change - actually merge accounts across different platforms.

 

[hamchan]

Next Sony console not called Playstation.

 

[Uno Venova]

Well it is easier to pronounce so good change.

 

[Wiz]

Well this is SENsational.

 

[ashbash159]

Next Sony console not called Playstation.

Sony said they're not announcing a new PlayStation console, but a Sony console...

 

[darkside31337]

They should have ditched the PSN name months ago. Good move.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I wonder if it's something to do with the PSN hack and they thought a name change would do some good in improving their image?

 

[Emitan]

Next Sony console not called Playstation.

SENS

Sony Entertainment Network System

Nope, not familiar to anything else at all!

 

[DidntKnowJack]

This helps us get closer to our goal of establishing a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music and more, all accessible from one convenient account.

They can change the name, I don't give a flying poop, but what does their reason even mean? PSN wasn't already a global enitity?

I am confused.

 

[Coxy]

Sony Network Entertainment System

 

[MikeE21286]

Next Sony console not called Playstation.

Talk about seppuku

 

[neptunes]

Is it safe to say this is Kaz' doing?

Next Sony console not called Playstation.

I would give them props if they just want with the Name "SONY" for their next console.

 

[darkside31337]

Next Sony console not called Playstation.

PS Sensation.

Calling it now!

 

[dallow_bg]

XBL > PSN

But can XBL > SEN?

 

[Jetku]

Next Sony console not called Playstation.

Sony Entertainment Computer Entertainment System 4
SECES 4

 

[Mxrz]

All of my money if you let me change my account handle amid this.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Sony Egg Nutela
Sorny Excel Note
son of the bitch mother bastard

The end

 

[Kuran]

Is this Kaz Hirai's doing?

 

[Carl]

PSN account sounds much better

 

[Dead Prince]

They can change the name, I don't give a flying poop, but what does their reason even mean? PSN wasn't already a global enitity?

I am confused.

not when they united music and video.

 

[Kinyou]

Should have gone directly for SEX

 

[sleepykyo]

So the Playstation becomes the Sensation?

 

[ipitydatfu]

i cant wait to log into sen's fortress

 

[Takao]

RIP PlayStation Network

 

[iavi]

Wait, is this legit? the PSN being re-branded 'SEN' would be hot as hell.

 

[MikeE21286]

Should have gone directly for SEX

That's already a Microsoft trademark

 

[kittens]

Why is this happening.

 

[abstract alien]

As much as I don't care for the xbox brand, I really like the fact that they use an actual word like "Live" instead of all these letters and whatnot.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

so will they just search/replace the TOS or will they sneak new and awesome clauses in?

lol I would not be surprised if a new clause was in.
