Nope. You can sort by format, install date (backwards and forwards) or recently played.

Welp, that makes the update useless to me.
Eye candy is nice and all but priority should be to improve something that is unusable/broken.
They improved it a lot (if its working like in the video). The store was slow and had bugs (f.e. not showing content/pictures in some cases).
Also you can see more information, like the size of the downloads.
It really isn't just eye candy.
This is one thing I still really want. Derrick the Deathfin is the latest I'd like to try a demo of.
Doing this would increase sales so I don't see why it hasn't happened.

Because there's absolutely no proof that it'd increase sales? If anything, there's decent arguments that they actually hurt sales. Plus it'd cost developers a lot more time and money.
...what's wrong with Visa Debit Cards? Mine works fine...?
Yup, same here, if anything it has been the least problematic card I've had.

My only wishes are that they make it faster to navigate/buy and that they add previews (screens or videos) for every single item. Is it really that difficult to accomplish after 6 years online?

Actually they blocked them for a while, or at least some of them, but they started working again after a few months.

My debit card has worked ever since I bought my PS3 back in late 2007, so they mustn't have blocked them worldwide.
I'll have to keep trying I guess. Sorry for making a subject change guys... I must be doing something wrong since my PSN fails, along with steam too. Glad it works for you guys Your debit cards European by any chance?
I want bigger icons PSN!!! (I can see it being Vita Bubbles >_<)

Do you have a UK IP address as well?
First impressions: Not impressed. It's fairly unresponsive, scrolling is insanely slow (good luck going all the way down your download lists...) and I'm encountering a lot of errors.

Piece of shit just crashed my PS3. What a mess.

Hmm I'm uh... downloading the PS store here in Australia, 26mbs.
EDIT: Oooh looks nice.
EDIT: Oooh looks nice.
Got in in Australia this morning
Definately looks nicer, takes a bit longer start up though
No change to download list that i can tell, still not able to sort or search it (cmon sony i have 600 things to look through)
Also tried to buy unfinished swan and could not due to errors (maybe just launch stuff)
Difficult to say whether this is an overall improvement, certainly asthetically
One nice thing is that if you go on to a games store page it shows you all the related DLC and videos
Nice touch

Just tried to add money through the SEN site so that I could then buy Unfinished Swan without adding any money but apparently my card is invalid, despite the fact that it was working just a couple of weeks ago. I can only assume they've completely screwed things up while switching over to the new store.
LiquidSolid

I bet they screwed up, scheduling its launch for a specific time without taking into account our time zones. It'd explain why nothing works.

oh god...
I don't understand if theres a simple way.. You have to add it to Cart > click on cart > click pay(even though its free) then you get the old prompt to download in background...

Its better if you're actually PURCHASING multiple things but there should be the option to download free things without any other steps...
LiquidSolid

Has anything actually bought anything (not free) on it yet? I'm still getting errors.

Grape jelly.
Sounds awful...
Now they can at least prove how fast they can change the store like they said.
Shouldn't be too hard to implement a "download now"-button again...
Are you recording a video walkthrough?
Also, can you access the store while playing or do you still have to quit?

Its already up? Turning on ps3 now. I thought they would make the redesign when the Store updates (17.00 CET)
It's on my Australian account, but I just tried with my UK and US accounts and they go back to the old store.
I'm really fond of the search function so far.
A few problems
-Slow
-Too many steps to downloading free stuff
-Game DLC for some games isn't accessible on the interface (or at least I'm not able to find it).
