Sony Launching Upgraded PlayStation Network on August 18th

A new e-mail has been going out to PlayStation Network Asian members about an upcoming upgraded PlayStation Network come August 18th. The e-mail writes: "Sony Computer
Entertainment Hong Kong Limited shall launch a new upgraded PlayStation®Network Membership service on 18th August, 2009. Now you can enjoy more value-added services such as online gaming, PlayStation®Home and exclusive membership offers."

A link was provided for logging in to "My Page" at PlayStation Asia, but it won't go active until August 18th. Considering Sony's three-hour press conference is that same day, there's another announcement on the way.

That sounds like they will just be upgrading the Asia PSN to bring it up to speed with the US, EU and Japan PSN.
