1 - Wait thats odd!?!? How could IGN get to the store? kotaku said it was broken and nothing worked?
and that it was the end of the world.
Look how some people deal with things:
"The screens that took forever to load seemed to get their act together once they were on the screen. When we left the alphabetized breakdown and came back in, the logos were there and there was nothing to load. That was the case for most of the screens we had to wait for, but after awhile, the loads started happening again. It's probably just a day one jitter -- and even if it isn't, we're talking seconds here and not minutes -- but it definitely warrants a mention."
and well.. you know how others deal with it.

Kotaku are idiots. Content is still been uploaded and the store will be finslized by 8pm EST today. They were messing with the store whiles it was been updated and then came back to make that post.
If you really want some decent impressions, you should check the japan store which further upp than the others.

1.3 - Yeah everyone just needs to chill
It wasn't suppose to be up until the 17th anyway right? They probably released it early so everyone could download the firmware first so its not even more clogged on Thursday when all the new content hits.

2 - This part:
"It's a huge improvement over Xbox Live's marketplace," said IGN Xbox 360 Associate Editor Ryan Geddes while watching us fool around with the Store.
Then, he saw the blank tiles and load time.
"Erase my quote," he said.
I lol'd.

i really like the new store.
it loads in a split second.
the circle button is now the "back" button
and the layout is way better.
even that little special effect when you click on something to open a new "window"
i have yet to encounter the missing images or loading times. *shrug*
a great improvement... for me at least. the lag was what sort of bothered me with the old store but now that issue is gone.

4 - its ok now, with everyone looking at it im sure the servers where overloaded a bit
but wait until this weeks update,
GTp released in america and MGO beta worldwide, 3 weeks of rockband/GH songs and any other demos and people still confused from the new look
I see a crash in the stores future

5.2 - I feel your pain
Gotta pay the bills though. Gotta make the fundage to buy things from this new store too.
Damn you "the man" damn you ...
On a positive note, the fortune cookie gave me my lucky numbers and I'm off to win million in the lotto.

Yeah what's on the new add-on for Super Stardust? I think it's called "Solo" or something...I bought the Stardust add-on last night with, PixelJunk Monsters, and Bowling, but didn't get a chance to play any of them...I just played Everyday Shooter until I fell asleep. I just remember reading the description and it saying something about new levels and bigger explosions so...that was a sell for me hehe.

7 - They'll improve the speed
The question is when? Anyways, whats more important is the other much wanted request like in-game XMB so I'm not complaining until they have that and Home down.

8 - Now that it's improved
Time to start complaining about it! =]
Everything about it is perfect...except the loading of the tiles. I almost wish they were background-installed on the Hard Drive so that everything could be even faster. Actually, i noticed the store did get a bit faster between last night and earlier this morning, so maybe there's hope?
