SCEE Comes Through With April Store Update
Sony does listen to survey results.
Published: March 31, 2008
Look, ma, Sony does listen to its customers!
With much poking and prodding, the sleeping giant will be re-doing the look and feel of the PlayStation Store in April. Thanks to folks in the PAL region, the store is getting a much needed revamp.
What led to all of this generousness? Well, a survey, of course. And you thought surveys didn't matter. Thanks to millions of responses on a survey from last year that showed how many PlayStation Store users wanted a better experience when dealing with the store, Sony decided to do the upgrade. They hope the new design will offer a huge navigational improvement as well as better categorization and new user interface.
But all of this comes at a cost, one that might not be acceptable for some folks. Content updates will be suspended for two weeks while the improvements are carried out. Sony is promising a special mid-April update for the inconvenience, however.
If that seems like bad news, don't worry. You will still be able to download anything that's currently on the store, so Warhawk and GT5 Prologue are safe. PlayStation Network and virtual wallet also won't be affected.
Cheers!
