its like using a fucking android 1.0 phone or something. everything chugs. things freeze up for seconds at a time.

A-FUCKING-MEN

I've been crying about this pile of shit ever since it came out. I literally can't believe they agreed to something that highlights how much the system has aged as this.

BUT IT'S FREE SO THAT MAKES IT BETTER

can't wait for my psn account to be hacked again!

I had a better experience on my old android 1.0 phone

The old store wasn't anything special but the new one is terrible. Maybe my internet is shit but its so slow. And I'm not talking about download speeds, just searching through the store is a chore

Doesn't Europe have a webstore? That needs to come stateside asap

I signed up for PS Plus and put about 10 things in my cart. After starting the download the performance of the store and the actual PS button overlay dropped to 2fps. I could barely get it to register button presses to quit out of the app

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #7 on:** January 09, 2013, 09:18:19 PM »

The PS Vita store is super slick tho. No problems there

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #8 on:** January 09, 2013, 09:39:43 PM »

You have to confirm 15 times just to download something that's free.

--> Are you sure you want to add to cart? Yes.
--> Do you want to go to your cart? Yes.
--> Are you sure you want to buy this? Yes.
--> It costs $0.00. You'll have XXX remaining in your wallet after purchase. Are you sure? Yes.
--> Do you want to download this thing now? Yes.
--> Okay, I'm just gonna sit here and show you the download bar for the next three hours. Or I could just download in the background like you obviously are gonna want to do; you want me to do that? Yes

yeah, it's ass. love playing the "is it frozen or just slow as shit" game

I hate the store. Every Tuesday is like "fuck, I have to check the store again to get my free PS+ shit before it expires (that I'll never play)". Then after 15 mins of slooooow store crawl, I shut the system off for another week.

Honestly I thought the old JPN store was fine. It was fast, showed the new updates in the corner and had pictures when you clicked on something. The US store for some reason was missing those last 2 things and that made it bad and in need of an update. This update added the pictures but at the expense of PAINFULLY SLOWNESS. There's no win with Sony Entertainment of America.

In my day we downloaded our PSP demos from shady sites on the internet and we fucking loved it. So many Loco Roco demos!

Diunx · « **Reply #14 on:** January 09, 2013, 11:33:18 PM »

Downloaded the DMC demo the other day an it took me like twice the time that it used to take me to start the fucking download

I almost completely forgot that I did this. Being a launch PSP owner was weird. Repeat viewings of Spider-Man 2 on UMD have washed over my memory of that period until CFW came about.

Its cuz its optimised for PS4.

archnemesis · « **Reply #18 on:** January 10, 2013, 03:16:38 AM »

That would be nice. I really like the store, except for the choppy framerate and the initial loading time.

archnemesis · « **Reply #19 on:** January 10, 2013, 03:26:36 AM »

The new web store is actually the far superior way of shopping. It's fast and completely free of bullshit.

The new PS3 store loads icons faster than the old one for me.

archnemesis · « **Reply #20 on:** January 10, 2013, 03:27:35 AM »

At least they have their priorities straight.

It has been announced for North America, so I guess you'll get it in Japan eventually.

archnemesis · « **Reply #21 on:** January 10, 2013, 03:34:02 AM »

I'm starting to believe that this is an issue with Sony's servers in North America and not the store itself. The new store is slightly faster for me and I also get perfectly acceptable download speeds (~ 5 MB/s) here in Europe.

My favorite part is when I click on a list and the banner takes half the screen.

Modern UI design standards suggest that as soon as you reach the bottom of a page and start scrolling any huge banner should shrink to a minimal size and free up viewing space, but that obviously conflicts with Sony's superior design ethos — they strongly believe 2x4 grid view is enough when browsing a list of 150–200 items on your 50" TV.

Apparently the US version of the webstore will be appearing sometime this month.

The Bore's influence in the gaming industry can't be overestimated. We know some people.

cool breeze · « **Reply #31 on:** January 24, 2013, 06:58:51 PM »

finally, sony releases an online webstore. don't know if it has a queue option like the 360, but at least you don't gotta go through that 17 step purchasing process anymore.

it just adds to your download list for now (so no auto download) but its way fucking better than the PS3 version just because of the speed increase alone.

honestly i may not even use that POS until its fixed (will access the download list from account management instead)

naff · « **Reply #33 on:** January 28, 2013, 06:42:08 AM »

Just thought I'd add it's actually been really good for me. Since I got PS+ PSN downloads have been crazy fast too relative to how it used to be, store framerate is so funny considering how basic it is, but loads fast otherwise. DL'd 600MB in a few minutes

I nearly cried, Sony cares for us PAL territories. PS+ is a revelation
