If it's got Sackboy... it's good. ;)

Regardless of whether this is real or fake, I like the layout a lot better. It looks like it takes proper advantage of the space offered, and it may be a bit easier to navigate. Only time will tell.

Still not there. C'mon Sony. You made a gorgeous looking console. Even the console's website is sleek. The PS Store looks so generic. I mean, so bland and blue. Jeez. The blue is so....well blah. Good start but come with it Sony. Make the PSN something that isn't an eyesore.

@lifendz - Agreed. If you look at that technincal marvel in the PS3 with all its abilities (blu-ray, Cell, and the list go on). One can not help to be impressed, but compare all of tis spectacular features to to PSN and the PSN seems like it is outdated and should be apart of late last gen. It does not feel like it should be part of a machine that is that far advance in tech. People will say that PSN is relatively new, but so is the PS3. Others will mention home. Home will without a doubt improve the PSN. Itwill be a sim based online feature, which will be popular to some and not to others, but I m talking about basic stuff like in gme XMB, in game cross game chat, etc. I always here it will be here in a few months, bt really it should have been there at launch or shortly after. I just want the best out of my PS3 online service.

This might have been something an artist made a while back. This looks good, but it's kotaku?...lol

Why give Kotaku such a hard time, didn't they oust home, regardless of threats of blacklist?

Kinda looks similar to the itunes and singstar stores, but doesn't look any easier to navigate through

They should just copy the xbox marketplace. They'll receive more praise than criticisms

I think it looks ugly and too compact. Singstar doesn't look like that at all - and Sony are said to be basing the look of the PlayStation store in that UI

24 - It's fake, but it does look a little better,
but it looks so similar to the current one as to leave a bad taste in the mouth.

I'd rather have something with a new theme, or perhaps we should be able to choose themes for the store, just have the same layout and template.

I haven't waiting a year just for them to mess around with the layout of little boxes.

Agreed, however... seeing as there are those tiny aeros ( > ) next to the selections, I wonder how they are going to streamline movement from selection to selection? ( perhaps a sixaxis tilt to the right or left?) because whatever they come up with, I just want it to be better and have a less profound 'clunk' like feeling where you have to move the cursor over the object to find out what it is. (Speaking of which, the nice little icons on each bos that shows what type of file it is ; it's simple, and a superb improvement over what we have now) If this 'concept' is fake, I still hope sony gets it streamlined!

27 - Not enuff tabs.
I expect some more tabs as one of the things the actual PSN miss is a good navigation xmb. Lacks for DEMOS/PS1/VIDEOS/GAMETRAILERS makes difficult to find something if you not looking specifically for it.

Also hope for them to set a calendar/agenda for the releases and a better what's new list as actual one, again, lacks more than 10 items and lastly with the rockband+GH3 some items are left out.

ts fake. Its PLAYSTATION Store not Playstation Store. Its LittleBigPlanet not Little Big Planet. Wheres the PS Store icon. Street fighter hasn't even been announced yet.

Its a very good mock up though and there are things there i like.

Jesus Christ what does it take to satisfy people......

I really don't even care how PSN looks, I just go in, grab what I want and leave. Regardless of how beautiful they make it, it's not mandatory. Quit whining, it's free, be happy.

29.1 - It's not just looks.
right now, the PS Store is a bit clunky and unqieldy. It's FUNCTIONAL, but it could and should be much easier to navigate and see things.

The great thing about the XMB is that it's easy, not confusing, and looks sleek.

Maybe we're all spoiled by the XMB, but most of us want a store with those qualities, even if it takes a different stylistic approach.

33 - I'm pretty sure it's fake.
If you read what they say, they make valid comments. It does look cool though, i wouldn't mind seeing that as the new store. Hope it turns out as good or better when they release it.

Or it won't matter. I hope Sony chooses to use their resources of music, movies, and older games this time around.
