Sony recently announced that it is changing the name of its PSN accounts to Sony Entertainment Network accounts. This does not mean the end of PSN as a separate brand, rather reflecting the connectivity among the Sony network services.
“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,” said Sony in a statement. “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 (PlayStation Portable) system.”
