I'm buying a PS3 soon, but I'm not a big fan of the menu. Anyone feel the same?

It looks to much like the PSP's menu. I'm afraid it won't have as much capabilities as the XBOX 360's menu. Please tell me that I'm wrong and overreacting.

I love the ps3's menu much more then the 360's.

Its more organized.

Look who's openminded! I didn't like the menu at first but it deffinately grew on me as I used it more and more but I do perfer the 360's menu because of how colorful and cool it looks.

Agreed, lots of room for updates and just works well for what it is.

Ps3s menu I like cause its more interactive alot more things to do and when home launches and psn store is updated it will be even better then it is now. Remotely accessing the ps3 through the psp is some sick genius too.

360 menu is too laggy. Thats my only complaint. But the ps3 is organized and looks great and doesnt lag.

I liked it but I think it could use a bit more "sub groups". Like settings has 30 (or so it feels like) "buttons" (display, system, audio, system update, and the list goes on). and I feel like movies, music and games should be put in the same category called "Media" or "Entertainment" or something like that. Just feels like there's too much buttons in one place.

though i bet you won't spend so much time on the menu in the long run. if you think you will though, u'll easily get used to it. I've never tried 360's but PS3's was easy to use and gets easier the more you use it. Have you tried the psp's menu?

OH GOD i hate the xmb. There is absolutely NO organization. I really wish it was menus. and all my games just layin there make it look cluttered. Plus When they add stuff, instead of it being nice and organized it get thrown in there like that stupid folding@home thing it makes it look like crap. Then the friends thing... there just something about it that i dont like, you know after you use a 360's friends thing then go to the ps3's, i seems like a HUGE downgrade for me. And i guess this has nothing to do with the xmb but when u press the PS button and it brings up this bland black screen with white text, its just pitiful, i mean come on you can do better than that crap.

So basically i want MENUS or BETTER ORGANIZATION and a MORE XBOX360 LIKE FRIENDS THING and a COOLER LOOKING POP UP MENU

Ignore this, the PS3 XMB great and only getting better. Theres alot of organization, everything is easy to find and is very functional. Dailed.

sell your ps3 and stick with your x360?

I didnt like it at first, but I love it now, and even looking sweeter with the wallpaper...... and I used to think 360's menu was better too.

- I love my PS3 and my wife and kids.....

Originally I did not like it at all, but now I appreciate it's subtle, organized and clean look. I actually prefer it to the Xbox 360's dashboard.nyc05

I agree, all the utilities without having to resort to flashy nonsense.

To be honest, I was sure either, at first. But after looking at 360's menu, I like it a lot better. All of your stuff is right there. You don't have to page through page after page to get to something.

I find it easy to use and very friendly.

yeah I actually really like the ps3's menu. I think its a bit easier to get to your media with it. YOu just click left or right a few times and your in you photos, music, videos etc. Pretty easy if you asked me. Sometimes in the 360 menu, stuff is buried in obscure menus (especially your themes and gamer pics)

Also you can make your own theme backgrounds... for free. My only complaint is that I wish you could make folders and a organize photos, videos etc how you liked. Right now it only has limited organizing functions like by name or creation date. But that sounds like something that could easily be fixed with an update....

You're wrong and you're overreacting.

I agree. The XMB works wonderfully.
