PSUni: How Sony Can Improve the PSN Store

PSUni: "PlayStation Network is a great place to get a lot of games, videos, and other content that can enhance the gaming experience. Purchases and downloads are quick and the store is organized neatly into games, videos, and other sections, but there’s one thing that would make the store much better: a more simplified search feature."

I want the old store back. I feel it's easier to navigate and loads faster.

I do like the presentation of the new store, it does look modern.

iamnsuperman4140d ago

It seams the new store was never tested on consoles but was on the web browser. The web browser version works so well and I can only assume they ported it over to give the same look and feel but it is horrible. It doesn't work very well. The old store was pretty simple (except the search function) which I never understood the complaints. The new store would be great if they improve the stability of it because parts of it keep crashing

I like the new store, they finally got all the psp junk out my way when all I want is stuff for my ps3.

MmaFan-Qc4140d ago

i like the look of the the new psn and its quick search fonction, ...but god damn its SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Canary4140d ago

There's no "feeling" to it.

I've timed the new store. The fastest task it's managed to complete is adding an item to the cart in ~75 seconds.

Removing items from the cart tend to crash the store.

Sony has built up a lot of goodwill over the years, but IMHO most of it has vanished over the past few thanks to their abominable decisions re: the PS3 and Vita.

Janitor4140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

Change it back maybe? Seriously what was wrong with the old one?

Also, I just got NBA Jam because of plus, and I'm pretty sure I clicked like 12 times to download it. Click click add to cart click click confirm accept click click download.

rpd1234140d ago

That happens to me too. But it happened when I entered a super voucher code for Uncharted 1 and 2 and I ended up having to go trough and push download for every individual item. Such a pain in the ass.

HarryMasonHerpderp4140d ago

The new store is an epic fail.
Looks nice but barely works, is full of bugs and the search engine sucks.
Also the Vita store should be brought up to the top and not stuck at the bottom of the selection screen where no one can see it.

The search engine sucks? No that's too nice.

A full keyboard layout versus the new vertical alphabet. I rage every time I have to use the thing.

DA_SHREDDER4140d ago

what pisses me off is that you can't find anything, and its a long process. The only reason why I think they changed it is cause the ps4 will have an updated psn and the ps3 psn store will need to be the same as the ps4 store.

GreenRanger4140d ago

It's like looking into a bucket full of bats, i'm almost afraid to move around the store.
They should go back to the old design.

WilliamH4140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

Maybe organise the download list into different categories such as full games, demos, add ons, themes instead of having to scroll through an enormous list of everything I downloaded over the years. Also a little icon beside all items in your download list letting you know what's downloaded and installed on your system, this would be especially handy for add ons.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 4h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Tody_za11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno10h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno8h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
