Listen up, those of you with PlayStation Network
IDs. Sony Computer Entertainment International has announced that, as of February 7th, the PSN will turn into its existing Sony Entertainment Network
. The company has aimed the move at clearly unifying the services of PSN and SEN, such as Music Unlimited
. Worry not, however, as Joystiq notes that the change is basically a looks-only affair, meaning your current account information and related services will remain the same. Notably, the moniker refresh won't apply to the PSP, which will curiously remain under the PSN moniker for network services. The news comes as a part of SCEI's updated Terms of Service and privacy policy, both of which take effect on the same day. Those changes, by the way, appear to mainly be regarding location-based services for PS Vita, and parental controls for sub-master accounts. After all of the bad times
PSN has been through, its upcoming SEN identity might just be the new outlook on (online) life it needed all along -- and hopefully with less downtime
.

2. You do not have to rebuy your games from PSN on SEN
3. Your parents credit card # and info gets lost
