    I don't mind it, really. The first time I loaded the new store it took a bit, but now it comes up just as fast as the old one, and I find the layout and print size/ magnification of art to be an improvement. Over-all, I think it's fine. You're just resistant to change (I'm guilty of it too)... Let it soak for a bit.

    So far I'm really torn on it. Aesthetically, it is definitely nicer, but I have a few nagging complaints. I miss the old dedicated "PlayStation Plus" section, so I could immediately go to it and see what's new. Also, the new checkout and download system seems like far too many steps, and I miss the (relative) simplicity it had before. Further, the thing is sloooow for me. It takes longer to load and things don't pop up as smoothly as they used to. And, as much as I like the new search system, I wish there was still an option for using the digital keyboard rather than scrolling through letter by letter (that's just a niggling complaint, though). Overall I'm alright with the update, I just wish it was a bit smoother.

    It's another matter of style over substance. I always prefer a clean and easy to navigate interface over one that looks sleek and gorgeous but is cluttered and moves slowly.

    Agree it's slower but it's even slower when trying to read everything on the page. They are not all inline or on the same line so I have look up down, left right bouncing all over the screen trying to read all the titles on the screen.

    I have had an easier time finding add-ons. Maybe it will be okay after all...

    I wouldn't mind if there was a list option for added DLC and demos, instead it's just blaring advertisements. Not a fan, must admit.

    The old one was simple to navigate and find things. The new one you have to search through pic after pic that are large. And it loads much slower.

    I disagree. At the start it was hard to find new games, but now it is pretty good

    I like how Sony made the new store layout even slower than it was before

    I like what they are going for but it will take time for them to polish it up.

    Not to mention when you enter Online Pass Codes or similiar now you have to add the hyphens MANUALLY! o_O

    And yeah, I absolutely agree with it's being horrible! The old was way better. At least they should bring back a normal search function.

    When I first loaded it up it seemed a lot slower and would give me an error messazge and not load some games within the navigation. I'm sure Sony is working on bug fixes for it.

    The new PS Store is awful. Its difficult to find all the new releases without ending up in a screen full of every unsorted possibility on the store. Then I went to the Vita channel and they dont appear to have a screen for just Vita games. The All Vita Games selection shows you Vita games plus every PSP, PS1, and Mini compatible with the Vita. I just want to see the Vita specific releases and couldnt figure it out haha.

    The best way to navigate is to do a specific search for the item you want. That doesnt help though when just generically looking for new releases.

    I like the look of it.

    It is, however, less than functional. It's much slower than the old store and there seem to be twice as many button presses required to buy/PS+ something.
