Synergy. Can you dig it? Sony does, finally noticing those
14 million accounts stranded on the console-side of PlayStation Network. We imagine the meeting went a little something like this:
- Exec One: You see, we've got 14 million people over here [*motions to his right*]. But what if we could take them [*lifts his hands up*] and stick 'em over here, too? [*motions back to his left*]
- Exec Two: So are you gonna eat that last Mint Milano or what?
- Exec One: No -- well ... let's split it.
- Exec Two: Deal.
The result? PSN IDs are being incorporated into PlayStation.com and, at a later date, PlayStation.Blog. Doing so will make your friends list and other features accessible through a web browser --
oh my! On a solemn note, these changes bring PlayStation Underground to its inevitable end, but members can hold on to some of the good times by merging their Underground accounts with their PSN IDs. And this is only the beginning,
promises PSN senior director Susan Panico: "before this year is over we'll have more enhancements for your gamer profile." Dare we say, a New PlayStation Experience?
