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!

iamnsuperman4108d 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

KosmoCrisis4108d ago

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

JoGam4108d ago

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

tachy0n4108d ago (Edited 4108d 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

JoGam4108d ago

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

NovusTerminus4108d 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.

kingPoS4108d ago (Edited 4108d 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 :/

ABizzel14108d 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.

nevin14108d ago

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

KrisButtar4108d ago

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

SignifiedSix4108d ago (Edited 4108d 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..

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing696h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker6h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing695h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos12h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto11h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8810h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies54m ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
