New look PS Store advertised on PS Store

DarkZero writes: "We know that a new look PlayStation Store is coming, but seeing that Sony Europe are so sporadic with their updates it is nice to know that they seem aware of it too. The first news of the store update was confirmed earlier this month by John Hight, but now it seems Sony are happy enough to publicly promote its arrival on their service. As such, they have launched a new advertising banner proclaiming that a “Great new look” will “coming soon.” The banner is not clickable, so no further info was revealed on when it may be coming or what new features it may bring."

LMAO, That is marketing genius I guess. At least you know you are reaching 98.9% of your target audience.

Seriously though I cant wait to see the new store. I hate the way it is set-up now. Seems like it could be streamlined a lot.

the ps store looks like something sony put together at the last minute. Like very little planning went into it. Let us hope for a MUCH better store.

If they can just make it easier for new users to get into the store, find good contents, and purchase/download them, it should really help them out. Hopefully we'll see another revision when Home hits and they get more integrated together.

my guess for the store update would be next week. They usually only put coming soon on the store unless it releases the following week

your other account GETPWNED went down to one bubble in about a week, so why not create another one right? :D sometimes i wonder why mods are banning some people for really weird reasons, but those with mental problems are still creating multiple accounts and posting dumb comments... MODS WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ASHES!

That would be a waste of money. Grand Pianos are too expensive. It wouldn't be worth it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a crapload of new content, a la PSOne games, alongside the new redesign.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking but it would make a lot of sense as to maybe why they are 'holding back' quite a bit of games it may seem.

It would be cool if they had flash and stuff but it isn't really necessary if it looks as smooth as the singstore.

8.2 - Perfect

What about an XMB-style PSstore but looking like that. A sidebar with the categories and the downloads on the right (not in picture format like that though).

Would be much better than the current one.

It should be like the Vista Windows Media Center (Stole the XMB idea and rotated it 90 degrees), everything categorised in the right place, easy to sort and easy to get to as well.

If they manage to put XMB into the store , we'll have a unique and user-friendly store in our PS3's soon.

jamesrocks3147 - 49 days 17 hours ago

10 - hmmm

they sould combine all the stores for all countrys into one for a start.... that would solve server problems and faster loading times

yer i quite agree use flash and java script the ps3 has it so use it.

and the new look best have better list and catogorys to find things.

better search system and the images to be less in size for faster loading times. and use a bit more of the ps3's power to load the store faster.

it needs to look good but useable to. far better then the store we have now

But the system doesnt have the infrastructure for the bandwith necesary and will all get euro aproved updates which means essentially nothing.

14 - hey guys this is what i want to see from sony, maybe sony should hire these people

well guys i will like to see sony take these designs below via the links below, these designs are what we want the ps store to really be like and not what it currently is.

The current PlayStation Store design kind of bland. And it being on the browser really makes it worse. Currently, two really good designs have been ma
