Many people prefer Xbox over PS3 simply because it is layed out better and is more pleasing to the eye. In an attempt to counteract this, Sony seems to be in the testing stages of a new layout for their PSN Store.

However, what is known, is that the PSN store will be moving further from its current, text based, visual interface and will be steering towards an image based one. This is said to be much like the current look and style of the Xbox interface. One of the testers commented:

This is good news for us, because currently the layout and features seem clunky to say the least.

The movie section is said to be changing to a style and layout similar to the You must login or register to view this content., which will display movie info, actors, and other important information.

Other new features will include live search, which will give results as you type, and a new "Deals of the Week" section which will outline all the best steals and deals. It is also said that the current blue background is out the window, being replaced by a black background filled with many bright eye catching colors.

It is expected this layout will go live towards the end of this year, or possibly be featured with the release of the PS4.

So what do you think? Will you be happy to see the re-designed PlayStation Store? Is the visual interface important to you?

Cool! I think they need to add some more features to the PS3. Something that the Xbox doesn't have to make the PS3 superior. Then people won't really have a reason to say Xbox is better besides "playing music while playing games", since Microsoft is preventing Sony from using that. Maybe an increased friends list (how hard can that possibly be?) and an improved web browser that runs plugins and web pages nicely and doesn't freeze all the time.
