 This new version which won't "use the PS3 browser" any longer, was the result of feedback from PAL PS3 gamers, that being the region not a comment upon their skin complexion.
This new store design will need everyone to upgrade to the new 2.30 firmware, which Sony is yet to fully announce. | |

 Many gamers and fans of the GT series have been left feeling a little blue as the promised day early release of Prologue over PSN yesterday never materialized. Supposedly it won't appear until Saturday "at the earliest".
The game is available in stores today, and there will hopefully be an official statement from Sony today. This no-show might be related to the recent breach of the PlayStation Store. | |

| Sony confirm breach, some PlayStation Store accounts affected | |
| Posted: 27.03.2008 07:02 by Jamie | Comments: 2 |
 They have issued a statement claiming that a small number of accounts could have had their passwords altered by unauthorised access. This would leave personal user data and their Store wallet vulnerable to the intruder.
They are quick to point out that no complete records of credit card numbers are held on the Store, so fraud is "very unlikely." How reassuring. | |
