PlayStation®3 General Discussion

I'm disappointed by the news. I liked the sound of "PSN" and its logo.

Hey dude! What's your SEN? ... Sounds awful.

It's the SEN logo I don't like that much.

Remember that Sony is a Japanese country, what sounds good to us might not sound good to them.

I'm pretty sure PSN isn't actually being renamed. I'm under the impression that our accounts will become SEN accounts (as they have been for a while now actually) by name and PSN will just be a service under the SEN umbrella. 

Much like how an Xbox Live account is actually a Windows Live ID being used to sign into XBL with, this is the same principle - you use your SEN account to sign in to PSN, but it works for other SEN services as well.

That's what's going to happen just a account name change ... well that's how I understood it when I read the email.

I don't mind the fact Sony is renaming the Playstation section. I'm not really fuzzy with new names, I just care about the online service, games and its features.

Don't really like the logo but apart from that not bothered, I'll probably still just call it PSN tbh!

"Update: It's not just PlayStation Network accounts that will be renamed - the entire PSN platform will become Sony Entertainment Network, Sony has explained to Eurogamer.

A Sony spokesperson said being called SEN will help make it "clearer and easier" for people to associate the service with "all Sony products" and use one log-in."

I'm still calling it PSN, so I'm the one winning here.

Fair enough.

I might change my name too, I was thinking 'PFC_Hudson' or something like that.
