Hey i just updated my playstation 3 and even though i think they just copied a game piece “SingStar SingStore” I think the DTS-HD and the new look, look better.

Go download your copy of the update today!

-Update:

Apparently the new Store (Eboot) is still in beta and can’t pull off all the images and infos that fast from its source (.xml?) well it takes forever to load all the icons  and most of which have corrupted icons even the “genre” search icon is missing

Other cons include the annoying new sound, it gets annoying after 10 clicks unlike the playstaion Xross Media Bar sound which never gets old, can’t re-download bought / download products and videos from there original icon but can be downloaded from download history list.

The Pros include: New Look, More Marketplace like over a protected web-based old psn, the welcome sound is cool, you can now see your bought and download items back at their original location with a RED PSN BAG next to their icons,
