Sony sends details on and a picture of (above) the upcoming PS3 PlayStation Store remodel. They tell us to expect a mid-April launch of their new online storefront, which will sport a "more dynamic look and improved navigation." This revamp is supposed to enable quicker and easier access to demos, games, videos, and trailers.
Due to some behind-the-scenes tinkering, no additional content will be posted on the store starting April 3rd. Don't worry though, everything already up will still be accessable. They say that things will eventually resume as normal, and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be coming along for the ride.
Be on the lookout for that mid-April firmware update. This will enable the new, revamped store. There's no word on if it will also enable the in-game XMB feature we've all been waiting on.

I just hope this is not an april's fool joke... Dale I got my eye on u (-.O)
At least it's application based. The current store is slow and clunky.
Am I missing something?
Who the hell did they hire to design the interface?
