Thank god, the current marketplace is as clear as mud...

 

[Deofuta]

Woah, where did THIS come from!?!?!?!?

Sweet, now I can access my Magic The Gathering in style

 

[The DSM]

I never had any problems with the normal one tbh...

I just had to do a little bit of scrolling but it wasnt amazingly diificult.

 

[StriderShinryu]

It wasn't difficult before, but it was a bit of a mess. Hopefully this new system will make some postive changes.

 

[Radeonx]

Unneccessary, but cool.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Finally. If I have 400 points sitting there, burning a hole in my virtual pocket, I can search by price.

Odd, well as long as I don't have to download anything like they did with the Zune Video Marketplace thing (Or whatever it was).

If I do have to download something to access it, I will not be pleased.

 

[CobraX]

There's nothing wrong with the old marketplace, however this new one does look alot nicer and it's nice to see Microsoft's working hard updating their console.

I agree with this. And it is always 400 points for me.

The colour scheme is really bland though, I don't really like it. However, I can put up with it if I can find things easier.

This actually looks very sleek... possibly for kinect?

Either way I hope it gets to the UK soon.

 

[therandombear]

It kinda looks like Playstation store...

OT: I welcome the new search catagories, but did it really need a new "look", I thought it was ok.

What's worse than that even, is when you wind up with a weird amount like 160 points. What the hell am I going to get with 160 points, and why do they offer things in less than 100 point increments in the first place? I suppose I can finally find out, without spending all day looking at everything.

Most of the things under 160 points are avatar items, and gamer pictures and themes.

I'm telling my friends this, I know that they won't believe me, because they don't go on the internet at all and they didn't believe that there might be a subscription for Call of Duty, I'll laugh my ass off if there is, because they play it a lot.

 

[Jared]

Well, its about time...its need a revamp and faacelift for quite sometime. Looks pretty shinny

Yeah that is awesome!!!! I wish Sony would do the same thing.

 

[Susan Arendt]

While I'm pleased at the attempt at better organization, I really don't like the color scheme. It's off-putting.
