Updated on April 7, 2011

The PlayStation Store has been redesigned. A bit.

There are new sections you'll notice when you tootle down the virtual aisles today. There's a top-level Demos category; a Franchises section to group all content by, say, Call of Duty; a Charts section for the most popular forms of all Store content; easier to find Themes and Avatars; and a more organised PlayStation Plus area.

Those changes are presented with a new cosmetic flourish.

As for actual Store content, highlights include a SOCOM: Special Forces multiplayer beta, ooh, as well as a MotorStorm: Apocalypse single-player demo.

Also arriving are new games Dungeon Hunter: Alliance and Red Faction spin-off Battelgrounds. There's a free trial of online shooter MAG up for grabs, too.

PS3 DLC of note includes The Lost Hobo King add-on for Stacking and the Steel Rain Map Pack for Killzone 3.

Decent Monster Hunter clone Gods Eater Burst can be bought and downloaded on PSP, too.

Today's full PlayStation Store update - courtesy of the EU PlayStation blog - can be found below the video.

SOCOM: Special Forces - try it today.
