Sony in test phase of new PSN Store Make over :RUMOUR:

Rumour has it that Sony is revamping their Online store to something a little more eye-catching. It is said that the PlayStation store is a little too text-heavy and Sony is looking to change that. They are currently testing a more "Xbox Live" or "Steam" type storefront that de-clutters the screen using, what inside sources call "an aesthetic layout with logically marked sections and rolodex lists".
The revamped PSN will include a live search method with results appearing as users enter characters rather than head off to a separate text-entry page.
The movies section will be overhauled to a IMDB-style database. When you select a film, for example, key details appear on the right of the screen, such as leading actors. Clicking through will take you to the actor's page, where you can see all of their movies.
Same thing goes for games. They will be categorized by genre, publisher, developer and so on.
Sony is also starting up a new 'Deals of the Week' section making it easier for the end-user to find current items on-sale.
No time-frame has been given for this update, and this is all rumor as of yet. Who knows, they might be testing out a PSN Store for the PS4...........
