Sony has given an official date for the redesign of the Playstation Network Store, and it’s down for the 15^th of April. The remodel will dramatically change the look and layout, therefore allowing for easier access and use. The new guise will allow the content to be listed via different sections, thus allowing for each item to be found in a simpler manner. The reasoning behind the radical transformation comes from a survey that Sony conducted last year, in an effort to find out what their users wanted. Queue the response that many people commented “that the PS Store was at times hard to navigate and locate certain items.”

This wasn’t the only thing that Sony announced as along with the upgrade, a whole new raft of content will appear two days later. To quote Sony, “[…] available will be Warhawk: Operation Broken Mirror, a great new addition to the hugely popular Warhawk experience and Lair: Diabolical Dragons Pack and Skyguard Upgrade pack, offering new and exciting features and functions. There will also be a collection of trailers including the latest for GTA IV, as well as a SEGA Superstars tennis demo.”

But more importantly, beside the new items, the Metal Gear Solid: Online Beta will be free to all. It will be downloadable from the 17^th but not playable until the 21^st of April. The trial will hold access to two maps, Blood Bath and Groznyi Grad, which Konami states "requires unique strategies in order to achieve victory." They will be playable by up to 16 players at a time.

It is suggested that the Store update will come alongside the release of firmware update 2.30. More on that when it arises, but in the meantime, check out the screenshots below.
