PLAYSTATION®Store to undergo April revamp

Customer feedback drives new design, interface and navigation

Updates on hold for two weeks; new-look Store launches mid-April

This April, PLAYSTATION®Store, the online content store on PLAYSTATION®Network, is getting a whole new look and feel – and it’s in response to feedback from the millions of PSN registrants in the PAL region.

 

 

The revamp comes in response to a survey last year which showed that many PLAYSTATION Store users wanted a better interface and easier navigation. The new design will deliver a hugely improved navigation system, much greater scope for categorisation and a dynamic new user interface.

Content will be suspended for two weeks while the improvements are carried out but users can look forward to a special update in mid-April.

There will be no weekly content updates between now and the re-launch, although users can still download content from the back catalogue, such as Warhawk™ and Gran Turismo™ 5 Prologue.

The PLAYSTATION Store revamp will not affect PLAYSTATION Network accounts or the virtual wallet system.

This is basically a copy of the Xbox 360 marketplace but it looks smarter and actually looks better...

How's it gonna look on SD TV's though. I remember they shrunk the old design so that it would fit on a SD TV so that instead of seeing 8 items at a time you only saw 3.

Glad PS3 gamers are actually getting some kind of online store at last. Might boost my confidence to get a PS3 :D

We already have a online store! & It's a good store. None of this MS points crap, All prices are in your local currency.
