The new look Playstation store which is to be released within the next few weeks will no longer use the systems built in internet browser.

A post on the Official SCEA blog by Noel Silvia, Playstation Network director states that "The new Store will no longer be browser based in the same way the current Store is, making things A LOT faster and smoother, hence a new firmware update will be required", Noel also added that "On the back end, this switch in systems means having to port all of the current code over to the new Store, and, since the new Store is less “texty” and more “visual”, it also means having to create a whole bunch of new art assets just for this Store".

As we reported yesterday there will be no update to the store until the update is released, but at least this gives you more time to play Gran Turismo.
