Old PlayStation Store Versus New PlayStation Store: Quick Speed Test

Here is a quick speed test from iWaggle3D comparing the old PlayStation Store to the new one which went live today (October 17th) in Europe. The new PlayStation Store is scheduled to go live in US next week (October 23rd).

The new one is much more fancy than the old one and it is very easy to find what you are looking for in comparison to the old one. You just have to get used to where things lies first. Change is good!

fr0sty4207d ago (Edited 4207d ago )

You can't really sugar coat going from a 5 second startup time to a 30 second startup time as a good thing. That said, with them transitioning the store to HTML5, updates will be very easy and I expect videos like this will influence those updates as well. They were talking about monthly updates, so I expect to see the issues seen here addressed soon.

Summons754207d ago

yeah sure it looks nice but it's slow and a complete mess. the new search is awful, the loading is so slow and how many things did the guy go through before he downloaded a demo? I like the new design I really do but Sony totally screwed the pooch with the new store.

Change is good, when done right.

iWaggleVR4207d ago

I agree with Mykky in that content is much easier to be found. But I also agree with fr0sty and Summons75 about the loading times/steps (heck, I made this video for a reason ;D).

That said, store layout isn't something you can easily fix if broken, while loading times and the steps things can. So I'm positive things will be sorted out fairly quickly.

i got the update,saw the new store then after 10min it went back to the old one...whatever ?

Burning_Finger4207d ago (Edited 4207d ago )

When they first upgraded the playstation store it was the same thing. Optimization and firmware upgrade where done to speed up the process.

@Slysi

Everyone knows that Europe is testing ground for Sony. So get all the bugs. XD

Fasttrack764207d ago

Mykky4207d ago

Yeah finally we are first in getting something. Norway also got Netflix today which is fantastic!

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5069d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5069d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5069d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495069d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5068d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5069d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
