Its supposed to be on the 17th - next week.

The new PS store is a firmware upgrade so it will be a local app and not a web page.

This morning, SCEA announced that the PLAYSTATION Store will be revamped with a new look in mid-April. We’ve heard your calls for a more fluid Store interface, and we think you’ll be pleased with the results.

As some of the most passionate and knowledgeable PLAYSTATION 3 fans out there, here’s some additional information on the revamped PLAYSTATION Store.

As you can see in the above screenshot, the new interface allows customers to browse through eight primary categories, rather than four, making it easier to locate games, demos, game add-ons and other content. It also enables us to put up to twice as many items per page, significantly cutting down the time it takes to browse through content.

Customers will be able to access, browse, shop and download content as usual prior to the store’s re-opening. However, no additional downloadable content will be posted prior to then, including this Thursday, April 3rd, and next Thursday, April 10th. Regularly scheduled content updates will resume with the Store’s re-opening, at which time additional games and game-related items will be added, including the downloadable version of the highly-anticipated exclusive PS3 title Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

When the PLAYSTATION Store is set to re-open with the new interface, PS3 users will be prompted to download a firmware update which will enable entry to the new store.

apprciated

i wonder what else they have cooking for us after in game xmb

Who knows. Sony'll think of something. I know one option that would be nice would be to run folding@home in the background, in other words, start folding@home, and then be able to exit and have the program run in the background. Not sure if that would affect other things though.

[dk3dknight]

Im thinking with how the fan runs when folding that its using a tremendous cpu usage and the concept of putting it into the background would just be silly.

Though that is with a mindset of certain assumptions.

I think that the effect would be the same if you had a downloading running in the background from the store. Folding@home is designed to only run when the system is idle, although as I said, I don't know if bandwidth would be affected. If you had the program running in the background and then you went online with a ps3 game, how would that be? slow?
