About a week and a half ago, Sony stopped updates on the Playstation Store to allow for a much needed revamp. Gamers the world over had complained that the store, far from being next-gen, looked more like a 1997 HTML coded website. It was hard to navigate, next to impossible to find what you were looking for, and just overall sucked.

According to Sony KONPYUTAENTATEINMENTOJAPAN  (aka SCEJ) the new version of the store will be available starting on April 15th. So for those of you who just can't wait any longer to download the newest Pain character, your wait is almost over! 

I will add that you really should click that link to the SCEJ release, as it is a Google-aided translation from Japanese and is both incoherent and hilarious.

Here's a video walk-through from Sony along with some shots of the new look of the store, click on them to watch them grow:
