New patch improves PlayStation Store pitfalls

I'm not a fan of the new PlayStation Store. There, I said it. It looks cheap, and the right side is far too busy. Then again, I'm not a fan of the 3DS eShop or Xbox Live either, and I think everything should just copy Steam. But I digress.

The new PlayStation Store design has been fairly divisive, and a large reason why is due to the loading times and frequent error message prompts. Evidently those issues have been addressed in a new patch however, as version 1.02 of the PlayStation Store is now a thing starting today.

Thankfully, an online version of the store is also coming soon. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to redeem contest codes while on the go, but couldn't.
