New 'Tester' amazon.co.uk look.

Amazon.co.uk: low prices in Electronics, Books, Music, DVDs & more

I imagine this is not one of their tester-cell pages. It looks good, new side navigation might take a while getting used to. It's like moving a dept store about.

Looks the same to me

Your right, it's reset...

Must have been an amazon tester cells after all. Wish I'd got a screen shot now, But the navigation was all on the side and the top bar was much slimmer.

It's like you described for me right zumojuice.
I have no idea how to take a screenshot though (i'm on a mac. Where's the printscreen button?).

[zumojuice]

its alt + 3 or is it apple 3?

Ok, here we go. Sorry for the large image. Imageshack is giving me guff and i can't be bothered fighting.

Mines still the old page

Lead's got what I had.

Thats Amazon's R&D. They use tester cells, which means that at certain times, certain users will be shown something new, such as this design or a new homepage feature. The idea is that they monitor how you use the site. Do you use the buttons more or less, does a chart telling you what others buy after looking at your items, make you buy more... etc

Eventually these changes effect and dictate how amazon evolves, rather than making big leaps...
