You can complain that it should have been there (like people will do about everything), but it's interesting that this thread is telling me that cool updates like this aren't a good thing when seems that these features are coming out because the community of PS3 owners is requesting it. What I've read in a nutshell is that because everything wasn't perfect upon launch, everything they do after that isn't good enough. I don't believe Xbox Live was perfect when it first came out and I'm glad that we can get big improvements like this with our PS3's, 360's and Wii's. Either it's bad because it's a free network or because it's like something else.
Also as somebody else said, the image thing is just an issue with it just coming out. When the text loads up to describe what it is you're highlighting is when you can actually start to navigate. So when the user went into the top store downloads at about 18 seconds, it only took about 4-5 seconds to load up what was needed to navigate through the store. Sure, it's a little annoying that the images are taking a while to load up, but it's in no way breaking of the ability to use the store. For me, it doesn't take nerealy as long for the images to load up as it did the user in this video, maybe a few seconds and that's it.
