Forums - Sony - The new PS Store is here

Looks good to me. People who say it looks like an exact copy of the M$ store need to look closer.

Oh, there's always something isn't there? :|

Whether it looks like the 360 store or not, it's about time they changed it, so hooray for that. Will give it a try in a bit to see if anything has actually improved, but that old store was a clunky mess at finding stuff, so I wouldn't imagine it would be hard for this revamp to be better.



The font used and the home screen layout look very similar to Metro, the menu navigation doesn't though, it looks similar to the old PS Store. I never really had a problem with the old PS Store, but that's probably because I've gotten used to it, looking at these news screens it does look far better.

EDIT: Oh man, forgot to mention. So fucking SLOW! I hope they fix that too.

What if its just a store? Can't it be beautiful or ugly? And what do you mean "ripping you off"?  The prices? They're not set by Sony.


Sony doesn't set the price for downloading a Sony title from the Sony store on a Sony playstation 3? Oh right. I didn't know that, silly me. 

1st party games make up a small percentage of the overall games on the store, and they're the ones that are actually quite reasonably priced. You didn't mention anything about 1st party games in your original post.



AMAZING!

I don't think it similar to MS Store.

The Store is now in HTML5 so any compatible browser can run it... Sony's plan is update with a new feature per month.

I'm really excited and I can't wait the next week.

That's because sharp boxes are in and smooth curves are out.

except it does 



Looks pretty, but it needs to be easier to navigate and faster than the existing store. I hope it is.

Now if only Sony and MS would stop ripping us off on new download titles. Some of it now resembles 360 to me.

Oh and "beautiful"?... It's just a store. Surely it's just the box art that makes it beautiful. If the box art was fugly then so would this be. Still, an improvement over the previous mess.

Just buy games on Blu-Ray. You will find great deals and they won't fill up your HDD space.

I'm loving the new look. It's long overdue. Hopefully the new look comes with speed improvements and better search functions and filtering options.
