I downloaded it last night, I have the old store layout back today.
Still haven't had a proper look at it yet as my mate wanted to play RE5 last night just as I started looking and by the time we finished I had the old Blue layout back.
The phased launch of the new PlayStation®Store has been temporarily postponed in some territories as teething issues related to the global roll-out of the Store are being addressed and resolved.
It is really important to us that the best possible Store experience is delivered and we appreciate your patience as we resolve these matters.
The new PlayStation®Store is now live in the following countries: Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, UAE, Kuwait , Qatar, India, Israel, Slovenia, Hungary, Turkey, Greece and South Africa.
there are some dlc items where you actually have to click on the object to get the full title, this is part of why i think an option for a list view like the old store would be better for faster browsing/scrolling.
Exactly, how are we getting shafted? The new store sucks, so we should be happy if we get it last, hell, give it to America next before us! I'm not in any rush to stare at Loading Screens for the store!
Well we did have it first, and then it was taken back after complaints, so now they're trying to fix the small things (which IMO, they should just abandon project and leave the old store as is) and slowly re-launch it area by area.
In all honesty, did you use the new store? Because right now it looks like you're complaining about being sent a package of horse crap after everyone else has already had their horse crap.
Have just had to download an update for the new store:rolleyes:
It's back folks!
So far so good, it all works well.
Yes, it takes longer to load up than the old store, and there are a few more button presses to do for downloading something. But nothing to bad imo.
The other big thing that was being complained about was the search function, yes it's still there.
I found it very good as at the side when you select a letter all the suggestions appear for all games and films. Once we get used to this I feel this will be a faster way at finding what you are looking for:)
I'm sure I remember reading a while back that the PSN store will be available online like the Xbox Marketplace? Is there any more news on that or am I talking $h1te?
Just had a quick look around the new store and it seems fine to me. The biggest issue I have at the moment is finding stuff as I knew exactly where to go on the old store and now everything has moved. Once I get used to that I think I can easily live with the new store.
It doesn't seem that slow either so I guess they have fixed that.
Its just a real shame they have not updated the download list. I would like a section in the store for "My Content" which sections off what I have downloaded into separate areas for the Demos, Games, DLC, Plus content ect...
Although my early impressions are fairly good for the new store I hope this design style doesn't extend to the XMB. The XMB is simple and clear, I don't want the cluttered look of all those panels and boxes.
One thing I really do like about the new store is that navigation can be done almost exclusively using only the left analogue stick/d-pad, makes it feel more slick than it actually is. A good thing.
I also like that the movie store is now seamlessly included and the category lists are quick, I like it.
Is your download history there ??
I thought that was folks bug bear that they hadnt got around to puting that on yet ??
Yes the download history is there, but its just a messy list of everything, quite annoying if you have been using the PS Store for 5years and have a list of hundreds of items.
The way the items on the list are presented is quite good though with it telling you the size of the download and other information.
Incidentally if anyone hasn't spotted yet, you can use L1/R1 to scroll a page at a time left & right on the main screen with the main game boxes to get to "Latest" or whatever far right. Makes it a bit quicker there.

Search has been a lot easier

Still the old store for me today and whenever I checked yesterday.

We should be getting it sometime today or tomorrow, UK will probably be the last to get it.
That comes across like a complaint, but I see it as a positive thing, I'm not a fan of the new store

Not always, what we tend to do is only notice the content we get last.

It will all click into place given time.

Can't find the PS+ section though? Is there one?
