Early last month, Sony has announced a much awaited overhaul of the PlayStation Store which has started to roll out for US PSN subscribers as of today.

Here’s a few shots I’ve taken while upgrading and browsing the new PlayStation Store:

Installing the required update

Installing the new Store app

After install, the welcome screen

The game catalogs

The new search is a bit more intuitive but it might not be everyone’s cup of tea

Overall, the new Playstation Store is a massive upgrade to the old, somewhat sluggish interface. It’s much more pleasing to the eyes and a whole lot easier to use and navigate. The downside for the new interface it seems is that it requires a beefier connection this time around as there’s lots of graphics used throughout the catalogs.

Not sure if the new store is already available on the Vita though.
