PlayStation Webstore Now Live For US PSN Users

Chris writes: "Much like Canada and Mexico earlier today, PlayStation users in the United States now have access to the SEN Webstore. This means that if you want, you don’t have to use that slow and frustrating store that is currently on your PS3. "

About freakin time! I will be using this instead of my PS3 for eternity. Saves boot ups!

iamnsuperman4107d ago

It clearly shows how the design of the PSN store was designed with the PC and the PS3 an after though. The web store works so well

KosmoCrisis4107d ago

Why would someone "Disagree" with what I just said?

JoGam4107d ago

there will always be disagree ninjas lurking anything Playstation. Deal with it. ;-)

tachy0n4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

since i dont have a PS3 and only own a PSVita, i'll claim all of the PS3 PS+ freebies just in case i get a PS3 xD

JoGam4107d ago

More people should do that. Glad you are one of the smart ones.

NovusTerminus4107d ago

I still miss the old PS Store, the second one, not the first one that used the web browser!

The new one is slow, and I HATE the search function.

kingPoS4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

I agree. The new store needs some "Serious" optimizations. Just browsing through it is like an equivalent of playing Uncharted 3 or God of War 3.

From what I hear, Japan still uses the previous store. The new webstore will be a welcome addition. It kinda reminds me of the Hong Kong store I looked around a few days ago.

What we need next from Sony is the introduction proper filters to the ps3's download list. I have over a thousand items and nothing to do but scroll down or pick a given date.

nope the japanese have the new store as well ive checked on my japanese account :/

ABizzel14107d ago

The new store wouldn't be bad if it wasn't so slow. Checking your download history is a nightmare in the new store, and I check via account settings which is still the old store set-up. THe search function is slow as well.

That being said there are some decent perks like seeing all the options PSN has to offer, and it does a better job at showing off multiple games on PSN with things like the Top 10, what new, etc... That aspect is a much needed improvement to help little known PSN games get some spotlight, but they really need to get the store speeds much faster than they are now.

nevin14107d ago

Just bring back the old store. I hate how you have through many pages just to download a demo.

KrisButtar4107d ago

It is not supported on any of my browsers on my iPhone. Google or safari.

SignifiedSix4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

Try the dolphin browser. I think its the best for android. Pretty sure they'll have it for IOS. :)

Edit: Alright, i tried it with the dolphin browser and all it did was load. Might be different for you though..

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis3h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg22h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7222h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood23h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK20h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast2h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake19h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast2h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon14h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast2h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
