Hi Guys and Girls

I should be getting a PS EYE very soon, so i was looking around youtube and review websites trying to find out all i could.

I came across a post on the Sony Blog with this Link.

The poster said why PS3 didn't look like this. What do you guys think? I think it looks more stylish & clear.

I hope the PS3 will look like this a couple fireware releases down the line. Hopfully we will have some more stuff to do with our (PS) EYES to.


(Heres the link if it doesn't work)

I didn't like it. Anyway there's a million and one PS3 themes out there at the moment you'd be hard pushed not to find one that you like.

me too, I keep the wave thing on too, a static picture just looks crap on a big telly, and if you have anything with detail in it then the xmb just get's lost.

True but there are themes that are very artistic and similar to that. I personaly hate game themes on my PS3 but I do like the arty ones. You probably know these 2 already but give them try you might find something in there not a million miles away

Looks good but doesn't bother me plus you can customize the XMB the way you want if you don't like the original one.

Frankly, I hate both of them... the picture and how it turned out. The setup works fine for the PSP, but I find the PS3's interface extremely clunky, and the way the downloadable games and such are managed in ridiculous. There isn't even an option to alphabetize anything... not to mention the fact that there's just way too many damned options. I understand that the thing is more than a console and, thus, would have to have more settings menus than the 360 or Wii, but they need to kinda tone down the menu IMO. Keep it simple, like it says in that commercial.

The XMB is simple, it's just 2 obvious flaws: 1.The Playstation Store is nowhere near as good as Marketplace, it's just a frigging website. CMon Sony, it would be way easier to somehow implement the Store into the XMB, not a Website. If you implement it into XMB it will be so cool, you could have like video previews streaming of each content, it could be fluttered with colourful adds be it first or third party and throw in some McDonald ads and get some money right? (Hey I'm sure you guys wouldnt mind to check out some of the pretty pics and ads while browsing a store right).

2. Organization and Customization is a must! Customization is lacked greatly only letting us choose 1 theme...why cant we take the icons from this theme, then the mouse pointer from this theme, the wallpaper from this theme, kinda like the 360. The 360 u can pick the background for each panel, the steel background...just tons of options, for that truly unique look. Organization is also lacked in the GAMES category...Videos, Music, Photos now all have these album features that are really nice and can be sorted various ways....why the hell cant i do this for games? I can put my games in albums, but even so, within these albums they are still all over the place lmao. SONY GET TO WORK GUYS! PUT OUT SOME MORE GAMES AND STEAL THE YEAR OF 08 all THE WAY TO 2020!!!!!!!!

themes cant make this. i like it the way you have the camera and other icons below the persons name. and that the people have custom icons as well as that little blue speech bubble for your comment.

the ps3 is very basic and plain right now the ps3 started great and had all the great features then everything (software) was stripped off and we were givin the basic piece of crap for $600. sony are slowly giving it back to us but i dont see point in doing this . the ps3 would have had a better year if the menu was better, xmb in game and a better ps store but they are taking everything away

Folks are way to picky and choosy, I like it the way it is. It will eventually see changes but I'm sure it will be not enough for those who want more.

I like the default theme, it's stylish and crisp. Each to their own I guess. I'm sure there are needs for updates, It's not like Sony isn't working on it. Patience is a virtue. ^_^

What colour? It's black and white apart from people's avatars. Oh and those random colored balls.

I like it. Maybe next update or something, Sony will redesign the XMB and make XMB in-game a feature. Let us pray lol.
