Looks great. Have to see it running to form a strong opinion but it definitely looks better than the old one

Sucks about the no new updates for two weeks but the new design is should be TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT....Looks so good.

But then again, most Europeans will not even notice the difference since they get shafted in updates almost all the time..:(

Doesn't look like a web interface to me. Looks like you select from that list like a menu - look at the bar at the bottom saying O exit X enter. Looking very good but sucks to have no updates for 2 weeks. I hope this doesn't become the norm, "Hey! So we only have an update every 3 weeks but look how great they are!".

For those talking about web interface still be used, I pretty sure it isn't look at screens and how some of the functionality has changed. First thing that pops out is the use of the select button, the select button has always been tied to the PS3 interface system.

No updates for 2 weeks means a great BIG update for the launch. They have to have new content to launch a new store!

That looks really good actually - I'm impressed. I hope that they've accumulated some sweet content for the PSN store re-launch.

Looks good, it is meant to be not web based although it looks a little like a website. It looks like when you choose something from the list, it'll zoom in and show the next menu (atleast it should do that).

Why does the US store have a different side bar to the EU store?

I'm sure the two weeks of no updates won't bother us Europeans much seeing that we usually get sweet FA anyway.

The new store does looks better than the current one but it wouldn't surprise me if it becomes delayed. :/

I love Sony's new direction of style on the interface. Just like the XMB, so simple and classy. It has the luxury look and feel.

I wonder what the surprize update is going to be? They said there will be a surprize update once it goes live, maybe Home Beta?

I just hope this store works better then it looks, from them pics it looks a little bland but that's just a sample of it I guess.

If you remember from the rumored leaked PS Store schedule, there was a Resistance 2 trailer scheduled for April 15 so it might be one of those surprises.

10 - The new look is "in response to feedback from the millions of PSN registrants in the PAL region!"
This is the most striking comment.
Sony are saying that they delivered the new look because of a massive survey taken from PAL region PlayStation 3 users. Which means that Sony is finally beginning to listen to one of it's biggest and most loyal markets - the EU. Now if Sony could just get around to giving us a timetable for in-game XMB and PS Home everything will be dandy!

10.1 - *Sigh*I'm sorry,but
WHY is it that every European Playstation gamer cries on and on about how Sony never give them any attention?Sheeeesh,you guys get the console a few months later and we never hear the end of it..

IF a game is being developed by an American company,doesn't it only make sense to have the game release first in America???do you hear us cry and moan when a game releases first in japan?

Wow,you guyz are getting Playstation TV before us,OMG HOW COULD SONY EEVAAAR DO THIS TO US!??!!?!!?(excuse the pun)

Aren't we ALL waiting for playstation home and in game xmb??

SO WHAT if theres a playstation blog in america,whoop dee doo I never even visit the blog unless theres a major update.

Uncharted demo didn't work on your PAL system?I wonder why,since the demo was only meant for the American psn store and was coded for NTSC machines and all..

So with all of this said ^,whats the conclusion?if you think Sony ignore you,then don't bother with Sony.Let us,the ones that comprehend terms such as regional marketing and sales,regional demand and supply,regional language and cultural trends,let us,enjoy the Playstation brand.

the only thing they really need to do is make it an actual program, not a damn webpage.

If they were to change just one thing, I would hope that they just make it faster at loading up each page. It reloads all the images each time you click on a link and takes ages.

Agree, I'd take performance over visual's. I spend very little time looking at it, the quicker i could "jump" on and off the better.

I don't like the left sided panel with the text, it's too vague. Where is the Demos tab? But other than that, it looks cool. It'll have to be redesigned again once they add Music and Movies/TV shows into that though

15.1 - Good Question
Those aren't the real tabs. Go to blog.us.playstation.com and you'll see the real screen which has a demos tab.

Now that looks classy, and more in line with Sony's style. The original PS Store looks like something from the PS2 days, so this is definitely going to be a sweet update. Does Microsoft have any plans to improve their layout as well?

They already did somewhat with the Fall/Winter update. There's now a horizontal bar across the top that holds main categories that you can shift through. Outside of that I don't think they'll do anything else, since it's integrated into the blades.
