There have been rumours floating around for days, but we can now confirm the PlayStation Store is going to get a big overhaul in the early part of April.

At the Destination PlayStation show recently (you know, the retailer event where they announced the Metal Gear Solid 4 release date) Sony gave details of the changes. Because nothing concrete came out of that event, rumours spread quickly about the possibilities - including talk of a new video store that allows you to download movies and music videos.

SCEA's John Hight has now told the guys and gals at Gamasutra:

"We give [Sony's PSN team] a lot of feedback based on how our customers are reacting to things, and I think you will see a pretty big change in the PlayStation Network in the early part of April, where we roll out some new interface stuff largely based on customer feedback. Simplification, cutting down on the number of mouse clicks, making it easier to find stuff that you want to find... 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."

So whilst details of the video store are still thin on the ground, we do now know that the PS Store will look very different this coming month. We'll keep our ear to the ground for more details as they are confirmed.
