Stunning New User Created Concept of PSN Store

The highlighted Killzone 2 Demo is the selection thing, when you click down it will highlight Assassin's Creed Demo. This design is also a program built into the PlayStation 3, not a webpage. When it's launched it fades in the screen. No mouse is used on the page, and when loading it shows a PlayStation 3 bar filling up.

[TriggerHappy]

Sony should definitely implement one of these two user created themes. The first one from PS3forums and this one from GTforums. Both of them are way better than what they currently have. PS3 onwers take it to Sony.

[Salvadore]

Couldn't agree more.

[dangerstepp]

Since there aren't any games to play, you guys sit around with crayons and construction paper and draw up designs to make the PSN better? I really do pity that. Honestly.

You won't have to worry about us Trolls come 9/25. Halo 3

Believe.

[kornbeaner]

and on 9/26 you'll be back since Halo 3 will bless your console with the red ring of death. Repair Beyond.

[KeMoBLUE]

that's funny considerig 33% of the xbox users will note have their 360's microsoft's repair companies will.

[supnub5]

i'm gonna send virus to xbox live and all 360's that are playing gaylo 3 will explode.

[jmare]

Maybe Halo 3 is code for the 3 red lights in the Red Ring of Death

[reaferfore20]

I believe that as soon as home comes out the PSN Store will disappear completely and be replaced by something way more inticing. The current PSN Store seems like it was thrown together to be just good enough to get some content out before PSHome's release. Once Home is released I would think they might get rid of the store all together. If not then they had better do something with it.

To 1.2 on: This article has nothing to do with "RROD", "gaylo 3", or the lack of games on the PS3. Just because one person is flaming doesn't mean you all have to follow in suit.

[weazle]

It would be a welcomed change if it would happen. I doubt that it will though because it resembles the 360 too much. I wish that Sony could overlook that and just make the change.

[reaferfore20]

I was thinking the same thing with the themes and all.

[BlackCountryBob]

I like this and it is an improvement but I would prefer the XMB like concept that was posted a few weeks back, just looks more integrated into the main page and I think the XMB is a very elegant and "grown up" interface which is remarkably easy to use and quick to navigate.

@dangerstepp: There is a certain irony in you calling me a moron, get a life you sad little boy. This article had no need to descend into a partisan argument. I like the XMB and I am a grown up unlike you, its called a personal preference!

Enjoy your games everyone, regardless of what machine they are on.

[dangerstepp]

If by "grown up" you mean clunky and extremely annoying to use.. then yeah.

[monkey602]

I never even considered this a problem. To be honest it isnt the set up that bothers me it's the content that needs work.

[weazle]

It isn't a problem, just a preference. I think most people will agree that it just looks nicer, but not greatly needed. I agree that the content should be the first priority.

[Blabbermouth]

I recon it needs work. The store feels like it was originally designed for mouse use. And Navigating the site could be easier with a controller. For example. Such as going back to previous page, could be assigned to L2, and going forward could be R2 . I feel there could be a use in selecting things with the analog stick in a rotation type fashion, so you can go from one corner to the next within one movement(vertically, horizontally ,diagonally, rotation) , a bit like how the voice commands work in PC BattleField 2. Also If you've loaded a page, the PS3 should store it temporally in its memory so if you go back to the previous page it loads instantly so you don't have to load the page again. And the over all layout needs to be improved.

[Caxtus750]

Like people have said. The headings look very similar to the 360 marketplace...therefore would not be done by Sony

[acies]

Stunning?! I agree the current one should be replaced, but these chumps shouldn't waste their efforts on something so unimpressive, much less should you bother posting about it on this site.

[RadientFlux]

it's not bad, but not all that good either... it's just too blue, all the text looks bolded, and there is too many focal points at different area's of the page.

[masterg]

This is hardly an improvement.

[solidt12]

I like this alot better than what they are currently using.

[PimpHandHappy]

the set up of PSN Store

I like the music that starts up when you boot up the PS3

I like almost everything about it!

I like the game demos

I like the videos in HD

I like the games they have given me in the first 10months

i just plain like it

peace

[dangerstepp]

All of your words read like this to me: "Baaaah! Baaahh"

And your wool.. it's unclean. Ask Kutaragi to clean it.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

I like that XBL has much more of the same.

I also like that XBL isn't nearly as annoying/hassling as PSN.

<ed.> Those are definately two FACTS that I stated. One for sure. The other is an opinion. But completely justified IMO. How is PSN simpler to use? Please elaborate.

Instead of just clicking disagree because you don't like my comment, come back with something constructive turds.

[Armyless]

Seriously, you seem infantile.

[rowdy 1]

I like it too

[MaximusPrime]

i actually like that "new" PS store design. Thanks for submitting this news. ;)

[Idmpc]

That first user created PSStore was way better then this one, imo...
This one just feels like an upgrade to the current PSStore, while the other one is a complete redesign, and a very good one too.
But even so, good job

[okcomputer]

Yea the first redesign was better, but they're both better than the psn store now, which looks pretty weak right now imo.

Hopefully Home will integrate everything smoothly in a cool innovative way. I really can't wait to see how everything in home works.

[Dogswithguns]

More pics in each category and even screen shots - now that's sweet cuz we can use them for wallpapers.... I like it.

[zonetrooper5]

The pictures that I looked at look boring and clunky to be honest. I wanna see the first one though but the forums are not loading up for me.

[DFresh]

PSN is on a role.
Taking XBL to it's final hours before destroying it.
While MS is playing those old boring games online.
Sony will get to the point to where you can only play arcade games in 1080p you get to use the six axis and it'll be linked to home.
No offense when it comes to buying games from MS online but PSN rules.
Halo 3 isn't any different compared to the second only thing is that it plays in HD now= lame.
As soon as KZ2, MGS4, Eight Days and Project Offset comes out it's all over for MS when it comes to selling real next gen games.
To me all MS has that's even worth playing is Bioshock, Gears of War, and I guess Halo.
Nintendo has crap for games and hardware.
So face it Xbots it's over.
SONY WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ARog34]

I sure this is, too, but PSN isn't really that bad... It's just that not all new things in the store update go right into the featured section so it can be a little confusing.

[the greatest]

no change please

[Ri0tSquad]

would be nice if we got one with a firmware update very possible since sony listens to us.

[Gamer luv]

this is, it is not news.

Why the hell has an opinion of a man wanting something made its way onto this site.

And ever more so, why the hell was it even aproved, this is just another example of "news" getting aproved when it isnt actualy news.

Im sure somewhere in the guidelines something is said about posting articles from forums, blogs, bla bla as in apropriate.

Corrent me if im wrong, but, this IS not news.
