Major PlayStation Store update coming Oct 17 in EU, Oct 23 in US

nice , where my DLC  skyrim (F#@!K Bethesda)

Anyone got this yet? I'm waiting for the BL2 DLC as well :(

The store certainly needed some changes. I like what I see in the screens so far. I like that there will be more sorting and filtering options. The current store is extremely limited in that aspect.

It seems like the UI will be easier on the eyes and some of the other convenience features should be nice also.

I'm cautiously optimistic and ready to see what this update brings.

I really hope I can simply use the triangle button to add to cart. IT IS SUCH A NUISANCE HAVING TO SELECT IT FIRST... Gaaaah

I'll reserve my judgement until after i use it, Although i like the old UI I've had a few issues with it the blue transparent background and the white font, it never seemed to work on my less than ideally sized Rear-projection TV, but i guess that's more my problem than Sony's.

i just hope the search functions better this time around too, it's always been a hassle finding exactly what i want.

All I am going to say is........Its about time for crying out loud! I am sick of the generic look that is has had for years....

I think it looks better now, honestly. I wasn't a fan of the old layout, and this redesign looks sleeker and smoother than the original. I'm glad their improving their search and menu functions, I always found it tedious finding what I wanted in the store.

Now what they really need to do is redesign the Vita's store, now THAT is a godawful layout that needs changing.

I always like new updates...at first glace...looks similar to the xbox layout? I actually like the old PS Store look although some of the sub menus I find rather cumbersome.

Sounds nice, but I don't like the idea of downloading another update. Especially when 4.25 corrupted so many PS3s, that Sony actually took notice for once, and was collecting information to help solve the problem.

Well, we have been looking at the same store for years now. A more modern update is most welcome.

Why fix what isn't broken?? I swear people anymore are dumb as bricks, I've never had trouble finding what I was looking for on the PSN store....

yay!

finally they made a more efficient interface

.

Seems like the only people really complaining are Xbox fanboys?  Oh well.  I say it does need an update, this can't hurt.

Meh.  I say don't fix what ain't broke.

I'm sorry but I can't take Sony serious anymore.  They keep suing others for stupid reasons, they copy Wii's controller (Move),...this article is saying, "we're going to go with the 360's tile-based interface (just the store, for now) and we like their search feature as well."  Really, what goes up, must come down.  Sony is in big trouble these next ten years.  They aren't creating anymore, they're imitating.

Steam's way...

I love the current XMB, but if this is better, whatever. We'll see. I probably wont' like this, but I will wait and see. Every version of the 360 UI I liked less and less. The Blades were still my favorite.

I feel like I've seen that before on another console...

why?

The first thing I thought when I saw the picture: SONY PLEASE DO NOT GO THE MICROSOFT ROUTE.

I am crossing my fingers that Sony remains gamer focused while Microsoft goes entertainment (even more) next gen.  I really want to ditch my 360, but if Sony goes the same route, I might as well stay with them and not loose the fine folks on my XBL friends list.

Looks like Sony took a page from Microsoft

Anyone remember the original PS Store? Imagine how awful that would be now with all the different things they've added in terms of content haha.This looks like it'll be nice, more sorting/search options is definitely welcome, and separating Vita content is overdue

How strange. Just today I thought it'd be about time to update that crooked thing. I hope they bring a games library like steam, scrolling through all the downloaded demos to redownload one good game is just ridiculous.

I never had problems with the old on, however the basket thing will be nice. I've loaded up with items before, then had to leave the store, and when I went back everything was gone.

Of course then again, I've had people steal my basket in Wal-mart as well...

Anything is more intuitive than it is now. It's about time for a change.

as long as they add a search in the downloaded section i'll be happy panda

So it's only an interface revamp.... why? I never had problems with the old one. Except maybe for it responding a bit too slow. But this:

"The old keyboard is gone, replaced with a scrollable selection of letters"

No. No. No. This is retarded. The Youtube app has this, and it doesn't work. It's slow as hell to type on, and the autocompletion feature is crap, tends to show promoted stuff instead of the stuff  you actually want. What's so wrong with the old keyboard?

Looks like a Windows 8 Metro App!

A search function for the download list would be nice.
