PlayStation Store updates to speed up your browsing, patch is 26MB in size

Yea, atleast they patched something. I browsed the old store like every day. The new store maybe once a week if that. Its just to laggy trying to search for stuff. Then the new search feature is Jacked up. Let me type whatever, and not one letter at a time in long way order, makes searching much slower than the old

Still don't understand why they removed the ability to recommend stuff to friends.

funny reason actually
it sends those messages in the language of the nation you have registered your psn account on. i have a dutch account myself and if i send a recommend message to a guy on my friend list from let's say Spain he won't be able to read it one bit.

it wasn't much of a hit because of that.

just checked. problems or not i think the loading times are acceptable at the very least so it's a step in the right direction.
i did some free avatar shopping for ps+ just now and while the image loading process is still shaky and has the occasional habit of getting stuck it is fast enough to buy multiple items and go back and forth menus without waiting 6 seconds every time i press a button.

the new ps store might be an inconvenient piece of crap compared to the old one at the moment i agree at some points but the old one wasn't perfect either. (don't get me started on the text search function >.>)

gotta have a little patience with it. it's impossible to make a program fully user friendly right from the start that's why they patch it.

I don't think the design is bad at all, it's just painfully slow so that's what sticks in people minds.. If it were instantaneous people wouldn't be complaining, I thinks it's easier to find stuff because there are more categories and you see them all at the same time.

Before when you entered PS3 games for example you could only see that and you had to go back multiple pages to return to PS+ for example. Now you only press circle and go back to the main list. It just takes some getting used to.. The problem is nobody wants to take the time because every page seems to take 5+ seconds to load.

Yaaay. I still want a 'new this week' tab though.

Because the format is still 'ad heavy' it's going to keep eating memory. They need to simplify it into text based with small pictures where necessary. They also need to fix the search function, and also categorize your download history for easy access to stuff you've already purchased. It's such a royal pain to sift through the downloads list to find content you grabbed years ago. T_T

It's so bad, I don't go into it anymore.

Yeah, thanks Sony

Nope, it's more like: "If it ain't broke, break it. If it's broken, break it some more."

if only they had an classic option :/

Sony should just live by this saying, heck every company should act by this saying:

If it aint broken, then dont fix it.

Better quote.
If it isn't broken, don't f**king touch it.

This new store was a huge trainwreck for me.
It takes 10x longer to load up, is laggy most of the time and, on my TV, cuts off at the edge.
What was so wrong with the old store?

quote Dragoshi1

Here's an idea, Sony.


Throw this store OUT the window...


And give us back the lagless old one.

This. FFS the old store was EASIER to navigate as well. =T
