An additional improvement in update 2.30 is the ability to access the revamped Playstation store. The PSN store has transitioned from being an online storefront into a natively residing application on the console. This allows users to have an easier time in locating and purchasing various items, download demos, game videos, Blu-ray trailers and other content.
