I think it sucks. Takes forever to load, I have to click like 50 times to view my cart without getting 'an error has occured' message, no permanent settings for search filters (I search alphabetical order and have to constantly change the filter every time I browse a different category), weird categories for DLCs instead of something simple like Multiplayer Add-Ons, Single Player Add-Ons, etc.

It took me almost an hour to download an ACB add-on and I have a fast internet connection. I spend more time viewing error messages than actual downloads and installs.Only thing good about this new layout is you don't have to strain your eyes to read titles due to those bright, wacky backgrounds the previous layout had. At this rate, I would prefer to roll back to the previous layout if possible.

It seemed okay at first until I tried to look for DLC for a certain game. I finally figured out the stupid search and scroll for each letter thingy, but I should have found it under the DLC section in the first place. Instead they showed all the popular ones, and then divided all the individual DLCs into subcategories... I mean what the hell? This was an unneeded change in my opinion, but I guess I can get used to it if they fix the errors and whatnot.

Hated it at first but then I got over it. Actually, it seems pretty nice to me with all those smooth movements and the idea of having the potrait of a game character between two games rather than a huge list of icons, but I do miss the ease of searching from the last store.

It's sh!t. A royal piece of sh!t.

I usually never play on my PS3... for once I wanted to play it cause I felt like getting Resident Evil Code Veronica X HD... but with the constant error from the new PSN pissed me off to let my PS3 collect dust again.

If they fix the bugs, remove like 25% of the menu options so that you aren't constantly branching off into different menus and fix the goddamn lag then it will be great.

Hate it, normally I spend some money every week when it gets updated but since they changed it to this god awful layout I have yet to spend a penny on anything. If it aint broke then don't fix the damn thing.

it takes too long to load and it's harder to browse stuff. i've been a "i've got a little money, maybe theres something on here that'd be fun" buyer in the past but not so much lately.

I really don't care for it, but Sony has moved on and I must move with it. Too long to load and the games are not organized the way it used to be (games were a lot easier to find the old way.) I do like that DLC is on the same page as the game though.

IF it is at all. When I tried to get me a last missing DLC for Mod Nation Racers and I finally had found out how to use the godawful damn stupid letter search index (thanks to a fellow GameSpotter btw.) all DLC for MNR that showed up was for the VITA and PSP >_>

I like the search engine; I like the layout of a game's purchase menu since it has everything related to the game right there; I like the look; I like the menu layout. I does have organization issues though. Like I have to go through every avatar to find the one i want unless I use the search engine.

The search function is horrible, like it barely does any searching.

I must be the only person that doesn't mind it. Let's face it, the old store was utter bildge that was years out of date.

I'm more concerned with trophy viewing on the console, they made it worse. The PS3 is supposed to be so powerful but I see more of the loading icon thing than the actual icon.

Downloaded the new Borderlands 2 DLC today... what a giant pain in the ass that turned out to be. Why oh WHY do you have to confirm your purchase so many freakin times?!?! And on top of that it doesn't even have the decency to let you download your purchase after all of your confirmations... you have to back out, re-select what you just bought and THEN you can download it. This was all after the store only loading blank pages for me the first few times I tried too *sigh*
