Sony has announced PlayStation Network accounts will be changed over to
Sony Entertainment Network accounts via an update on February 8, a move
which has been the works at the firm since September 1 of last year.
According
to the notice sent out to various PSN account holders, the move
incorporate a “comprehensive network platform” of services from Sony
across games, movies, music and various media offerings.
“This
transition is based on Sony’s goal to enhance its unique digital
entertainment offering,” read the email. “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.”
A few minor changes were made to the TpS agreement, but the main change is in the name only at this time.
PSN
accounts will change over to SEN accounts via the next PS3 and Vita
software update next week, and changes will not be applied to PSP for
the present.
