PlayStation Store Design Revised with Comparison

XTREME PS3 writes:

"While everyone was busy watching the Sony Press Conference last night, the PlayStation Store for Europe and North America recieved some changes to the layout. Most of the changes appear to be cosmetic [see comparison image at source], but we have noticed better loading times and even a new sound when scrolling through products. We've drawn up a simple comparison between the old store layout and the new one to highlight the main changes."

Looking sleeker and much more polished.

himdeel6188d ago (Edited 6188d ago )

...portion of PSN is too bright on certain screens. I cannot read the titles and can only see the pictures for the video on the left. It was blinding at times.

Otherwise it's very slick and I like the little sound prompt when you move the cursor now it wasn't as pronounced before or maybe I always had the sound down when browsing PSN...oh well.

ExcelKnight6188d ago

@1.1
I agree. I had problems with their E3 page, of all places. A white background and white text didn't blend too well, though I'm sure Sony will iron this out soon enough. (just switch the text to black and all is well)

Elimin86188d ago (Edited 6188d ago )

That pissed me off some.. It's like they don't take it into consideration when making improvements. 1, the text are almost impossible to read on the video bkground, another example the clock and the battery info are overlaid on the XMB and 2 to top it off they did not give you the option to change text color for certain backgrounds which they themselves supply. Not to rant or complain or anything but they should take all that into consideration when doing updates so they won't take forever to go back in and give you what should have been done/fixed in the first place..... overall I love the new look.

Godmars2906188d ago

Now if they could only do something about DL speeds.

Szarky6188d ago

download speeds are fine, must be your connection.

I have 10mb d/l and u/l, i never have any problems.

XGRaViSmOrSX6188d ago

seems w/ some people its hit or miss.

i usually dont have slow download speeds unless the server(s) are being raped.

SL1M DADDY6188d ago (Edited 6188d ago )

Must be your connection. I have 16 mb down and 5 up and have no issues whatsoever.

imabeast486188d ago

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle14d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7714d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde21d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy21d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12521d ago (Edited 21d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7723d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga22d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199222d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga22d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman22d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger22d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box22d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion22d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7222d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7522d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit22d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14922d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7722d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
