The web PSN Store redesign is awful, frustrating, and needs to be fixed

It's fucking trash.
They need to either go back to the old store or start over from scratch.
Doesn't work anymore.

I look forward to this feature hitting all storefronts in 2022.
Can't believe they removed the wishlist from the app, how am I now gonna see when the games I want are on sale?
Pardon my DUMBASS QUESTION OF THE DAY â but is the web store different from the store in the PS App?
I'm right there with you on this. I use it frequently on my Switch. It's extra dumb because I believe there is still a wishlist on the actual PS5 console store itself?
Yeah, it's a downgrade from the previous one. I do like the app and console versions of the store to an extent though. Hopefully they re-implement the missing features soon, and also improve its UX.
Yep. Maybe it's something on my end... but I can't even find a way to purchase games on the new web store. Like, clicking on a game from the store just takes me to a page with all of the info on a game but no option to pre-order or buy it. I had to go to the old version just to buy a game. Browsing the store is also less intuitive. I just want to see new games in release order and all games on sale quickly and easily. It looks nice enough from a presentation standpoint but it is far less functional than the old version.
Edit- I'm seeing add to cart options now so I have no idea what was going on a few days ago.

You can tell they rushed the web store. Both the App and the PS5 store is much better and has much more info, whoch means they have a way to have all that on their web store...for some reason they don't yet.
But tbh it's much better now than it was on day one.
Still a long way to go though.

It's sooo bad, on Firefox it sometimes won't show me pricing. It's also hilarious how you can't sort by anything. Wanna see which games are 15 bucks or less? No can do.
I considered making a thread like this a few weeks ago. I can't stand it. It's slower, has less content, is sometimes buggy (I've had issues where the purchase button disappeared), and they removed the wishlist. What were they thinking? It's significantly worse. I had to use an external site to make wishlists, which is ridiculous.
I agree.
It is hard to read, there are missing features (like the wishlist), and losing the ps3/psp/psvita catalogue sucks, especially after receiving an email a couple of days ago informing me that purchases on those platforms may fail when using paypal / credit cards from january 2021 onwards.

It's just bizarre how much they messed up the new web store. Can't see prices at a glance in most cases, no more wishlist, harder to find what you want, even more janky/unresponsive than the last version, can't buy PS3/Vita/PSP games there anymore, etc...but hey, it sure has a nice clean look đ
Yeah it seems that they want to hide the deal page. Sometimes its there sometimes its not.
Its like they wanted it to be really fast to get to from the main playstation menu but they didnt make it fast they just removed anything info.
I was having the same problem with lack of prices in Chrome a week or so ago. I couldn't even add the PS+ games to my account as there was no 'buy' button.
Having said that, I just checked the store again and it's working for me in Chrome right now. However, if I check a game's details, I don't understand why it loads the page, thinks about it for a while, then loads the prices.
It's a huge step back from the PS4-era webstore, which I was able to navigate very quickly and find what I was looking for 99% of the time.
What it's doing is checking your account to see if you have the games or not. It won't show the buy button if you do, is the plan. Though it screws up a lot, and sometimes doesn't load properly. If you get stuck with this "no buy buttons" situation, log out and in again should clear it up, I've found.
At least they've added the game's name in text underneath the boxes! As bad as it is now, it was ten times worse with no text at all to go on!
Yea the desktop web store is trash, it doesn't even link you to games DLC on the same page, like tf
I feel like there must have been a deadline to update/reskin the store prior to the PS5 launch. Someone was probably told "Just make a new store before November" but the staff/resources just weren't there.
It's the only explanation. It's unfinished and missing basic features that Sony would profit off of (gifting for example).

Still works in North America.
It's rubbish. I just get my PS4 games through the console now instead.
Jim Ryan will probably say it's an accomplishment next month. Too hard faced to admit they need to resolve this.

I made these exact complaints in the thread concerning the VGA sales. Wanted to check out the Persona 5 Royal sales and it's just three links with the same thumbnail but different titles (Deluxe and Ultimate are both on sale, too). No links to separate DLC for me to view and see what was included in the Ultimate/Deluxe editions to see if it was worth it for me to go for those editions over just getting the base version and ignoring any DLC.
This isn't the first time I've struggled with it. WHY Sony thought they fixed something that wasn't broken is beyond me. I like the previous iteration of their store so much more.

I don't know either. The store was effectively busted on PS3 for me a couple weeks ago. Performance sucked and got progressively worse over a span of 5-10 minutes looking around for sales on DLC on some older titles and it would regularly crash on my Slim. No idea if the latest firmware helps or not but that's a bit inexcusable when this is the only way to browse the PS3 catalog.
That's annoying... it stopped working in the UK a few weeks back. I can look at my wishlist on it still but there's no way to access any kind of search functions or other sections of the store anymore.
