Content not final and subject to change.
Today we began previewing a completely redesigned PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3. We’ve listened closely to your feedback and used it to build a brand new PlayStation Store. With a stunning new user interface, simple search and powerful content discovery, it’s an in-store experience that’s more streamlined and accessible than ever before.
PlayStation Store now offers more than 20,000 pieces of game-related content including downloadable games, add-ons and themes and more than 100,000 videos and TV shows. With so much to choose from, the redesign offers easier navigation to locate the perfect game, video or application. Product pages will deliver in-depth information about games and videos, while providing an amazing high definition visual experience found only on PS3.
Take a look at what to expect when the all new PlayStation Store rolls out in the US on October 23rd, and keep checking back for more information.
Will there be a Wish List now?
I feel like this is a huge opportunity missed by Sony for sales. There are lots of games that I cant afford day one, but still want to purchase. However after about a couple weeks, they float off into the abyss and I forget about them. Not only would the wish list benefit Sony it would also benefit developers as well, think of all the games that I’ve forgotten about because they are not at the top of the list anymore? Those developers lost my sale just because I forgot that I wanted to purchase it. Most major online shopping services have a wish list or something similar and I think its a Win / Win across the board to have this feature on the store. Its really a no brainier at this point.
Maybe the PS Store for PS Vita will be updated with the arrival of PS+ for the system, right? By the way, any news about PS+ on PS Vita?
Still on track for November, but it’s not necessarily linked to a refresh of a PS Vita store. Anything like that is likely a ways off, to manage expectations here.
