Sony is preparing to transfer over its PlayStation Network services from Sony Computer Entertainment America to its Sony Network Entertainment America subsidiary, established early last year. From April 1, PSN users will be required to agree and adhere to a new set of terms and conditions from SNEA. Users' online PSN wallets will be transferred across in the process. Those users who choose to decline the new terms and conditions will have their PSN accounts closed and their wallets refunded. Sony notes that, "Your access to the best games, movies, TV shows, music and friends will remain intact." The new terms in full can be found at Qriocity, the music and video streaming service run by SNEA. Set up last year, SNEA also handles Sony's Bravia brand, as well as the Sony Dash hardware and Blu-ray players. Head of Sony's consumer products unit Kaz Hirai said last year that Sony Network Entertainment "will drive vision, strategy, and execution for network services across the entire Sony group", adding that the subsidiary with be a "key driver for Sony's future growth."
