A slicker and quicker loading interface is all that i expect :) it'll probably look good at least, but fast loading i doubt it.

@Accordion:

see, THAT is a good idea.

then you could browse the store at a lightning's pace. and you could use a cooler xmb-type interface which has more pizazz.

it should at least be an option.

@BrentW:

Yes RCSS = Real Canadian Superstore...the 'savings' will be dependant on the Province you are in but the example I gave was Ontario.

Dell.ca also has the PS3 'on sale' sometimes aswell.

A good place to find the latest deals (on anything really) is redflagdeals.ca btw.

Web based is fine.

But if the store is only updated once a week there is no reason it needs to re-load every time you select it.

the store should save to the HDD when idle, and only reload when it updates on thursdays. Then you could select the store and have it instantly appear without having to wait for each image to load one by one.

mullinsmcd — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:06:30 MDT

I didn't realize how bad the store was until this week. I attempted to buy 15 songs for AI:Encore and I would buy one song, send it to the cart, then when I go to add another one I'm jettisoned back to the storefront again having to dive through the convoluted menu system to get back to the song list. Rinse and repeat 15 times.

If you're buying one thing then its completely functional but it fails hard at multiple item transactions.

Can't wait for the upgrade.

I want to see the new design. There's been enough mock-ups online that I don't even know what to expect now.

I'm going to expect something more intuitive and I'm pretty sure, Sony will deliver.

@Archaotic:

I hear ya, I have no idea how they choose who beta's stuff. I got lucky a couple times early on, and I always made sure I answered their surveys and stuff, just to make sure my account was still active.

It would be nice if beta members, of any game (last one for me before Home was Warhawk), could send out an invite or two to get others into the beta as well.

@BaxterPunch:

Motion controls are much more precise in Warhawk, allowing you to fly and aim independently - but they are way more difficult.

Groodle

Candlejack — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:34:27 MDT

@baxterpunch: Nope, sticks beat them by far (for me at least). It's not crap controlling with the motion sensing, and it's kinda fun, but it's nothing for accurate play if you ask me.

Candlejack

baxterpunch — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:28:53 MDT

@zanzibarlegend: Awesome, I'll be on most of the weekend

Just a general inquiry to anyone: For Warhawk, are the motion control flight controls more effective than the sticks? Noticed you can aim where you are not flying... Should I start getting used to the sixaxis flying right now?

@Groodle:
I've been a member of the PSU since 2005 (yeah, not as long as you, but still) and I received no beta invite at any point. I'm not saying you're lying, but Sony's been pretty dumb about handing out beta invites...and everything else, to PSU members.

Look at how long the God of War demo discs took to get out. Bleh.

Am I missing something else? Or are you just confused?

I actually got a PS3 two days ago, although luckily mine works perfectly. Well somewhat perfectly, I keep getting signed out of PSN every 30 minutes or so. That happen to anybody else? I even hardwired the thing to prevent that. And, awesomely, they drop the price of Warhawk, so I picked that up.

I would love to play some warhawk with anybody really, especially Kotaku folks. Seems I am the only person in my social circle to man up and get a PS3, so I currently have no friends. (cue sad charlie brown music)

Can someone explain to me how you can get a ps3 for $380 with no tax? Me and my friend got in a argument because I said the only way you can pick one up for that price is if it's stolen. He says that the guy gets the from wholesaler and that it's because they are phasing out the 80gb version. I just got one for my birthday on the 22 and I have not opened it just because I'm waiting for my exams to be over so I don't screw up my life.

I was much happier to find the PS Store update having the Warhawk 1.3 update patch trailer. Well, not so much the trailer, but at the end where they announced April 2 being the release date.

Now if only they can get R6:V2 up and running online, I'll have no need to go outside. Ever.

@Magic Emperor Anima:
Like the constant "coming soon" promises for Home and its still-invisible beta! Ugh, they need to either give us real release dates or not give any at all. That goes for all three companies. If your product isn't ready to launch the day you say it is, then don't give us a date. And when you say "coming soon", you should mean "in the next three months", not "sometime this year". Bleh.

I do hope this new design is nice though...the Store's always kind of a nightmare to navigate, especially when you're looking for stuff that isn't a Featured Item any longer.
