The playstation network, a service you all know and love is coming to its end.
On February 8, 2012 Sony will take the final step to unifying their online services by introducing it’s users to the Sony Entertainment Network, or SEN for short.
The SEN will take place of the PSN, the online gaming service that Sony launched alongside their PlayStation 3 on November 11, 2006. This name change is Sony’s way of getting closer to their goal of

Don't worry everyone, you will still be able to play online, this change is merely a name change! You aren't required to change your ID or password, you will not be affected.
The PS3 and Vita will receive a System Software Update that will introduce a new TOS (Terms of Service) before users can gain access to the Sony Entertainment Network.
Sony is currently in the process of sending out e-mails to all PSN users that will alert them of this new change. Here is an example given in the source.
personal opinion
If this rumour is definitely going to happen, I have nothing against it. The name doesn't change anything for us, everything will still be the same and to be honest I will keep using the name PSN because I'm used to it. Sony are just trying to "establishing a global comprehensive network platform" which is honestly fine with me.
thanks for reading, sorry for the sort of mis-leading title!

To and fro the island.
A name change is a name change is a name change. While people can argue all day long that PSN sounds better, this is the right thing for Sony to do, if you ask me. More and more companies are attempting to connect all of their services, and it would seem Sony is taking the final steps in doing so. Bringing all of their services under one discrete name makes perfect sense.
While I don't think "SEN" will ever catch on as much as "PSN", I personally like the sound of "Sony Entertainment Network". Hopefully we'll find some of Sony's other services popping up on PSN... ern... SEN... in light of this name change.
