PlayStation Store Update: Zip, Zilch & Nada. Don't expend too much effort browsing the North American PlayStation Store today, as it won't be seeing an update until April 15, when the revamp goes live. It was all in the original press release on the matter, but I bet you didn't even read it. Tsk tsk! In the meantime, visit a friend with an Xbox 360 version of Rock Band if you want to enjoy "Still Alive" or download the rest of those American Idol Encore tracks you missed last week. Or get some thumb twiddling time in. Your choice!

PlayStation Store Update: Demo Man
