I'm just wondering if anybody feels the same way about the Playstation Store as I do. I hate it. I like the old Playstation Store way better. For one I don't know about you guys but it runs way slower then the old one. Probably because it has to load all the graphics. Also it's difficult to find specific games unless you do a search for it. Otherwise it's lost in the Abyss forever. It just seems very unorganized, slow, and pieced together. I think they should change it completely.. anyone agree:question:

Try the online browser PS Store - it runs faster than the on-console version and it takes quicker to type in searches. https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/home/main Once you purchase something from the browser store, you can add them to your queue to begin downloading as soon as you turn on your PS3.

I hate it too. They say they won't change it. I guess they just don't like us shopping on their store.

It runs faster but it's still just as crap, the old one was way better. Better search options as well. Nothing about the new store is better other than the way it looks, but honestly who cares about that?

I like the old PSN better, what I really would love is if they made it faster to load. Seems to take forever to login.

It really is. I can't believe they downgraded so profusely. This is even worse than the web page layout of the first PlayStation Store.

Only two problems I have with the new PSN Store is the lag. It's pretty bad and the fact we cannot organize our downloads in the download drop down menu. Other then that, it's pretty decent.

The new store is actually better because the game pictures are much larger. Before the game pictures were way too small where you had to highlight a game to know what it is. Now, the games are shown much bigger and better.

And the typing search feature is 100 times better now. You don't have to browse a keyboard and type a ton. You simply scroll up and down for a much quicker search that comes with predictive texting. You can scroll like 3 letters and immediately find your game.

Old one is certainly missed. Just got used to it too and then Sony changed that shit on me. But on the bright side I've received $20 in free funds for my spending over the last 3 months so that is nice. Don't remember X-box live doing that for me.

I did enjoyed the old PSN store more however the new store did improved on few features. Unfortunately, It still takes way to long to load.. I have steady 50MB connection and it shouldn't take me nearly as long to browse the pages or even load them.

Hopefully, we have improvements in future. It's not too bad but the old store was much more faster and organized.

I wasn't able to find it either. It seems like searching by letter is the only way to look. To my knowledge anyway.

Because you could trick the store into giving you free games and worse...

I'm not saying anymore because I will get modded.

Yeah I much prefered the previous layout. Not only was it instantly fast, but it was far easier to find add-ons and games.

I used the old store when I had a PSP but can't remember much about how it looked etc. When I used it the other day, yeah it was a little slow, but I was able to find what I wanted easy enough.

PSN games have never really interested me anyway, but i do agree it is annoying. Unless you know exactly what you're looking for, you can search, but otherwise navigating through it is just too annoying, nothing is layed out well.

I'm not surprised that Sony says it won't change. A business run by aging men - bunch of stubborn bastards if you ask me, will never admit to anything.

The new PS Store is ridiculously, The time it takes to boot it up is the same as booting up a game on PS3. Wtf, this isn't a game, what's with the stupid loading times? The design isn't that good either. Compared to the old PS Store which didn't require any long booting time, this sucks big time. Worst update ever. Thankfully this crappy update haven't reached PS Vita, which has a way way better design.

Finally realised what you guys meant by loading times, the US PSStore is ridiculously slow, the EU one isn't that bad, same with Japan.

I like the look of it apart from when your scrolling through games to buy etc it only seems to use half the screen and it can be quite slow at times. I do though prefer it to the xbox store which I find is quicker but you have to go through each and every game which is annoying in its self

I haven't used the PS store in ages, so I wouldn't know.
