Rumor: PlayStation Store Getting Overhauled In April

Details were light on the change, but beyond a coat of paint, word was that navigation would change to a series of icons running along the bottom of the interface. We don't have official confirmation on this one yet, so consider it rumor for now.

I hope they make all PSN arcade games have free trials. But most likely not, oh well.

Fact: PSN will always be terrible

It's like they went back in a time machine and got web developers from the early 90's who had just started working with frames.

dont mind him, he's one of those "blind" fanboys

hopefuly its true, the store is a pos right now-platy-

I see a lot of people say that. And, I, of course, welcome hcange if it makes more people happy and using the service.

If you don't mind, what about the service do you not like? What about the layout do you recommend changing?

And I'm not trying to be snakey hinting at a point with these questions. i am interested in your response. or anyone's for that matter.

I prefer the setup of XBL Marketplace and its layout to that of PSN in terms of ease of finding things and buying things, IMO.

Not being a smrt-arse here. But you go into PSN, see whats new. Or, you click on game>newest games>select game. How does that vary on Live?

I use them both. I vastly prefer XBLM to PS Store. Ease of use, presentation, and organization go to XBLM.

That'd be good. I don't mind how it looks now but it could be a lot better.

More content is needed!

Great response.

While Metal Gear Solid 4, DualShock 3 and God of War news may have dominated our Destination PlayStation coverage, one other interesting leak came out of the retailer conference. According to sources there, the PlayStation Store is finally getting a graphical user interface overhaul, one planned to arrive alongside Gran Tourismo 5 Prologue on April 15. The revamp of the PlayStation Store is said to give it a look more in tune with the SingStore, pictured above, which is already accessible from the PlayStation 3 version of SingStar.

Details were light on the change, but beyond a coat of paint, word was that navigation would change to a series of icons running along the bottom of the interface. We don't have official confirmation on this one yet, so consider it rumor for now.

They had online capability with the PS2. Sony had all that time to advance their online but they didn't. This is why PSN is horrible compared to XBL. So Sony had online even before XBL was out for the original Xbox. Sony just now "caring' for online because MS is making bank off it. :roll:

PSN Store needs more than just a graphical overhaul - its interface is clumsy.

Why does pressing circle back you out of a menu by one layer in every other part of the interface, but exit the entire PS Store?

Why do you have to move a cursor to the button you want, instead of moving the stick simply jumping to the next button like other parts of the interface?

Why does it show a screen saying your money has been added, when there's nothing of any consequence you can do on that screen other than skip to the next? (While we're on that gripe, why do things like patches and installs not auto-restart the title when complete? What are you going to do on that "OK" screen?)

Why do you have to install the content when you're done? What else were you going to do with it?

Why does content ever download in the foreground? When would you ever not want the interface to return control to you immediately?

It's like Sony didn't even bother to hire a UI analyst. Personally, I'm pretty sure they took the lazy way out and just slapped up a web page and used their browser to get to it. It shows.

I love when people skip all the posts making them look silly. Bravo sir, bravo!

There's a big difference when a company is actually persuing online gaming and when they are not. XBL compared to Ps2s online is a good example. Now Sony is finally stepping up with their online community and It's looking great all around.

I gotta go with Renegade on this one Jive, PSN is in its baby stages still and has a lot of room for improvement. Right now the PSN store is a joke compared to Xbox live marketplace but in a year or so I believe they will be on par.
