I am sure everyone has already heard about the new facelift for the Playstation Store that is due to come out around April 15th. The facelift will be included with the firmware update v2.30. Along with the rest of the Playstation fans, I am very excited to know that a new way of browsing the store will be available to us in the near future.
The store in its current state is very clunky when it comes to looking for something that is not on the main page. You have to search by categories that are broad and often have the same thing in multiple categories. With this facelift of the store, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will add a level of user-friendliness that is only seen in Xbox Live.
I enjoy looking through the Store and finding some of the old content that was on the main page before the system turned one year old. There are some very fun games that at the time I couldn’t dish out $9.99 for, but have invested in buying a few recently, such as Calling All Cars which has turned into one of my favorite PSN games. I am hoping that with this facelift I will be able to search through the content easier and quicker and find other gems like Calling All Cars.
With the release of the firmware 2.30, we are even closer to the “rumored” v2.40 update that will include the in-game XMB.
