"I think you will see a pretty big change in the [online offerings of the] PlayStation Network in the early part of April, where we roll out some new interface stuff largely based on customer feedback," Hight told Gamastura.

"Simplification, cutting down on the number of mouse clicks, making it easier to find stuff that you want to find," he clarified. "That's kind of an outgrowth of us having more content now, so we have to make sure that you can get at it easily."

Reports of a redesigned PlayStation Store emerged late last month, with Kotaku claiming the new look would be more in line with the SingStore component of SCE London's karaoke title SingStar (PS3).

The redesign marks one of Sony's recent efforts to improve and enhance the system. Just yesterday, the company confirmed that the upcoming 2.4 firmware will add standardized in-game communication.
