PoV: New PSN redesign in the works?

According to Reghardware, Sony is working to revamp the PlayStation Network. The report claims that the PSN redesign will “transform the online environment into a more image-driven layout along the lines of Xbox Live and Steam.”

The new design will primary focus on "aesthetic layout with logically marked sections and rolodex lists." It is said to feature less heavy text and more images, giving users a new, "live search method with results appearing as users enter characters rather than head off to a separate text-entry page."

Games and movie listings on the PlayStation Store will also see a major make-over, with an IMDB-style database, as well as the planned addition of the a new ‘deals of the week’ section. The current blue color scheme may also changed in favor of a more brighter colors on a black background.

 

With all the problems the PlayStation Network has gone through in the past few months, I would mind seeing a new redesign of the service. Cross game chat anyone?

 

Now, how about you guys? What features would you like to see added to PSN? Share your thoughts below or continue the discussion at the forums.

I think it should have themes to be honest. Not a million different ones, but just for example, the original one, a "high-vis" one (black/white), a picture based one and whatever else. Some people get on with the old PS store fine as it is! Give us choice Sony. It's not that hard!

It would be pretty wicked if they would add facebook support to XMB so you can chat with friends while your Playing online or whenever.

Live search is nice.

It's about time too, with the amount of content on there it's beginning to be a pain to look for stuff.

Live search sounds great, but I the PS Store is actually very manageable and easy to use. It is hard to imagine what they can do to make it easier... I don't have any trouble finding what I need or browsing through stuff...

Maybe if all the images have the same theme? Whenever going through certain things, the icons sometimes will be a pixel off or something. Doesn't bother me, but it's noticeable.
