Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has said that the slow loading times for graphics experienced on the region’s PlayStation Store yesterday were a result of increased traffic.
Speaking in a post on the official PS3 Forums, the company stated, "We are aware that many of you have experienced delays whilst the PS Store’s thumbnail icons are being downloaded.”
"This is a temporary consequence of a new system implementation and high global traffic levels, and will be resolved within the next few days."
The revamped PlayStation Store launched yesterday and requires users to download the recently released Firmware 2.30 to access it.
Unfortunately, Sony Europe has opted for a questionable menu system for the store, which can be detailed in our earlier story here.
