New Playstation Store Walkthrough

April 10, 2008 in Video comments 16

Now we know that it is to be released on the 15th of April, however apart from a few of the screens, we don't know much about how it will function... well fortunately the official Playstation 3 Blog, have brought us that information, in the form of a video walkthrough.

Unfortunately we can't embed the video here, so you'll have to go to the source and view it, but believe me, it's well worth it ;)

Hey Everyone! We know you’re all patiently waiting for the next PS3 firmware update, ver. 2.30, which includes the revamped PLAYSTATION Store. The good news is that it’s coming soon, and you can now see how the new user interface will look in this video demo featuring Grace Chen.

    Oh man, this looks awesome! And, more importantly, it's not slow anymore! The shopping cart and "instant trailers" are nice touches.

    Yeh I was just watching it and saying 'wow' it was honestly loading as quickly as it took her to press the button (give or take a few seconds ).

    I also love the fact that purchased items aren't removed, they simply have an icon to tell you that it's been bought already Much better that way in my opinion.

    Dude, Nice freaking find!

    Was I the only one that expected a new page to just load all slow and stuff when she clicked on the GT5P image? Instead we're treated to a slick fading animation and extremely fast loading. Geez this even puts the XBLM to shame. No previewing trailers before you download them on XBLM (at least not the last time I used a 360 anyways), this is why competition rocks! I'm sure XBLM will get a preview trailer feature soon. This is going to rock.

    Thank god too. Everything about the PS3 has been very slick and stylized up to this point EXCEPT the PSStore.

      She seemed a bit nervous, though.

    I can't wait for this. This is so much better than the original (or one before). Now I can't wait for next week.

    Nice spokeswoman. Though she stumbles a bit, at least her voice is nice (in a way, it just appeals to me)...

    I doubt the store will load quite that fast though, since most likely there would be 1000s of thousands of people online at once, at least, at any time. During peak usage (thursday updates) it would be much more.

    But I wouldn't be surprised if it was faster than it is currently.

    Store itself is certainly an improvement

      It's nice to see regular people demoing things for a change rather than people that try to put on a show and pretend.

    Wow I love how fast it is.

    I noticed she has a faint but weird accent. It sounds more like she used to be a stutterer then and accent..

      I thought she had a slight lisp. It sounded like she was adapting to speaking with a retainer in her mouth. Her voice is really annoying to me.

    It looks good, but i had no problems with the speed before.
