PSN to be Rebranded


In an apparent drive to unify their online media services under one brand, Sony will be changing all PSN accounts to Sony Entertainment Network accounts on Wednesday. But the only real change will be the name; account status will not be affected, and users will not have to take any action to make sure their account is still valid.

"This transition is based on Sony's goal to enhance its unique digital entertainment offering," a Sony Press release reads. "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.
 "Your Sony Entertainment Network account also enables use of Sony's non-game services such as Music Unlimited, Video Store of PlayStation Store and PlayMemories Online (previously called Personal Space) across a variety of network-connected devices."
In addition to this change, Wednesday will also bring a new system update for the PS3 and yet to be released PS Vita.
