An interview with Sony's John Hight revealed new information about the Playstation Store, Warhawk, and much more. It has now been confirmed that the Playstation Store will get a redesign in April. He has also stated that the new Warhawk expansion (Broken Mirror) should be out by April of this year!

Another thing he was asked about was why the Japanese store seems to have more content (Specifically PS1 games) than the US Store, to which he replied that the US will be getting it soon.

Overall, it's a relatively lengthy interview, but definitely a good read.

I'm curious to know how the model for payment and UI for PSN has been evolving over the year-plus, and where it's going in the future in terms of simplification of interface and all of that to help digital games get distribution easier.

John Hight: You're talking about on the network platform itself, and the store?

Yeah.

JH: I'm not the best person to answer that. I'll answer what I know, but we actually have some folks who are specifically responsible for that.

We give them 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.
