I don't know... I kinda like the new look, but the navigation of it is still new and cumbersome. I don't know what was wrong with the old store...

I do like how when I view a game it shows all the related DLC, avatars, etc., that is a nice feature... but the checkout process sucks.

And now it shows that some of what I've bought is bought and the others are not bought... confusing.

what organization did the previous store have? you had random categories placed within other lists. people got used to it out of memorization, not because of any sort of navigational sense.

I really wish they would have just kept it simplistic. Now I have to see Ads for stupid shit and can never find anything. I think they are going to lose sales with this as no one can find anything.

You didn't need to fire up a separate app that took a minute+ to load. It was simple, this one is not. I don't want to buy anything out of this store because I can't find anything. Everything is blown up to emphasize things, but they take away a good deal of functionality doing that.

the serach function is shit too now youd think when you select U the first game on there would be uncharted but no i had to ing spell out uncharted 3 by selecting each damn letter from the letter line and then once i got into the uncharted 3 stuff they didnt have it separated so i had to look through 333 damn items to find the map packs to redownload them.

i can see people liking how it looked but id give up all the pretty new bells and whistles to be able to find what i want in less than 10 to 15 minutes. you shouldnt have to go through so many damn hoops to get your stuff.

i dont think that the ps3 store needed to be redesigned. it was perfectly fine(excluding the crappy search and the download list). the vita however is a different story. that store is utter trash and really needs a redesigned.

You could have typed in Map Pack and just scrolled down to Uncharted 3. I agree though there should be a sort option for the add ons, especially with a game like UC3 which has 333 items available.

Hate it. Slow to start up when all I want to do is look at the PSN+ tab for less time than it takes to boot up. And god forbid you want that free game, because you will need to confirm the confirmation for confirming that confirm. JFC, how many times will it ask you to accept your free game?!

God awful.

Spot on with this there are 4 confirms before you final can get the game into your history.

Doesn't work as good as it looks.

Don't care for the new design at all.

The new design reminds me of the YouTube app.

The new design makes it easier to find content. However, navigation is much worse. It's just slightly off with the way it scrolls and there is a little too much redundancy. Also some very poor design decisions like on movie sales they have a banner take up nearly half the screen and you can only see almost 2 rows of movies. Ridiculous. At least show 2 rows if not 3, not 1.8 rows.

Worst part is I went to download stuff and got a loading screen forever and an error, could not download item. Downloaded 2 other items after loading screen, but could not check out due to error. How are you supposed to make money Sony if we can't buy stuff from your store? Later found the items were available to redownload. Last, a big FAIL in not allowing us to filter our download list, especially with PS+ downloads. Ugh.

Click Games > Add-Ons > Now good luck trying to find what you want, you won't. No list by GAME NAME, only by "maps" "weapons" "skins" etc, have fun browsing that list. The current fix is: Click Games > All PS3 Games > find game by name, then all add-ons should be under it. But still, how is that easier? How is anyone supposed to know that w/o being told? Why even have an add-on tab if it isn't organized?

Anyway, the DL purchased list has always been bad (I have ~1600 items in it) so hopefully they'll fix that. But what makes it worse is, the content you own, doesn't show up as owned. I needed to DL my Plants vs. Zombie Table for Zen Pinball 2, and it wanted to charge me $3.99. So searching and finding the item in the store is useless now (this happened to a lot of content, I'm just using this one example) meaning you have to sift through the DL history of 1.6k items to download it, frustrating considering old PSN store you could just go to add-ons or search your item, and DL from there.

I could go on and list more problems, but as I said before, I don't have anything positive to say about the new PSN redesign.

Im obviously in the minority here but I like the redesign a lot, especially the search.

I still don't like it. Took me forever just to find the 3 month and 1 year PS+ subscription renewal icons on PSN.

The previous store had that same type of strange organization problem, only in more areas. I can remember many times even searching for PS3 games on the old store and them not being in categories they should have appeared in. Had to find a hidden category to gain access. So that's nothing new.

That's crappy that the game is not showing up as owned. I was happy when the new store showed that Apps I previously downloaded did show up as purchased at least in the listings area.

It would've been nice if they at least tried to hold to some remnants of the original design. Don't like this one at all. Too laggy.

Store takes too long to start up now and is laggy as hell. That and it froze up my PS3 the other day. No bueno.

seems to be a lot better (actually functional) since I downloaded the latest update to the store late last night. I still cannot believe in building a new app for the store they didn't think to include a sort or filter option for your download list, that's criminal negligence.
