The Old Sony Megathread

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Not liking the new Playstation Store. No doubt I'll get used to it but it seems to have gone the route of going for more prettiness at the cost of losing some simplicity and ease of use.

I've likened it to VidZone. It's all a bit too clunky, and seems to take longer to get started.

I have barly used it by now. But the old store was anything but easy to use. I still don´t get how they could be stupid enough to bring backgrounds that made text of the store contend unreadable.

I love steam big picture mode, so much easier on the eye. Controls better, it´s easier to write with a controler. It´s going to be a beast once it´s don.

It's horrible, the fact you have to go through the checkout procedure to download a free demo is just daft. The old one was well laid out and barring the very occasional annoying background was easy to find all the price drops etc. This feels slow, pointlessly massive, and the sound effects are rubbish. I miss that 'bring!' when it opens.

I totally regret buying a PS3 just for MLB the Show. I never even touch my PS3 anymore. I'm thinking about actually giving it to someone less fortunate than I am.

I already have an Xbox,Wii and a Macbook so it's not like the PS3 is needed or anything.

[Colly]

I'll have it. This fan noise is getting stupid.

I like the new PS Store, reminds me a lot of MetroUI/Windows 8, but with good wallpaper. As people have said though, it does seem slow (but I chalked that up to my internet connection being really fussy as of late), but it seems to be missing a lot of stuff that used to be on it. For example, I wanted to try the PES, but there isn't a PES13 on it, so I decided to re-download the demo for PES12. You can't find it via searching, so I had to go on my download lists and find it that way.

Hmm...What do I get in return?

[Colly]

A sense of great satisfaction that someone in the world no longer has to play LA Noire with subtitles to have any idea what's happening.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Yeah you were happy to just GIVE it to someone less fortunate than you and Colly is less fortunate. For a start you have a PS3 that works splendidly while he has one with a noisy fan.

Also he's a Liverpool fan so needs all the charity he can get.

Want another go?

Does it take long for them to send the code? I'm afraid I messed up with the email address.

No it isn't, you can see the eligible countries under terms and conditions.

There should be a pick your language selection some were. I asume it´s SCEE territory promotion. But it might be that you only get a key if you are a new subscriber.

[TCO]

Still haven't gotten the email from that. Keen to try PS+, never got around to using my free month from the outage.
