I prefer Sonys dashboard over MS/Wii.

I find it to be a little more stylish and (in my opinion) easier to navigate, MS's dashboard seems cluttered and far too in your face colourful for my tastes.

I dont know where to start with the Wii dashboard.

PS3.

I would kill, or at least pay :P to have something like the Wii meny to sort the over 60 games I've bought on PSN though. It's an awful mess with just two (PS1, PSN) big piles of unorganized games. I know that I can download them all again in the order I want but that's not fun when you have over 60 games and I would have to do it all over again as soon as I buy a new one.

Please fix this Sony :evil:

XMB, there are great themes on the internet you can download and install on your PS3...for free, I've noticed the amount of free official themes have been going down, but there still is some, and I'm having trouble finding any free ones on XBL, plus it's faster, and easier to navigate. In game though, it runs slow as a mother.

uhm, you can press Square and it'll group into PS3/PS1 titles and demos, alphabetical order, year purchased, and anything else in between.

I will say that I'm happy Xbox Netflix now has the search function. It would be nicer if netflix was layed out even better over ALL the consoles.

Even though I dislike several things about this new 360 dashboard, it's still better than the XMB. Haven't played the wii so I can't comment on that one.

The Wii and PS3 are very simple and user friendly, especially the Wii because of the pointer.

Uhm, no you can't do that.

I can sort by:

*Creation Date last
*Creation Date first
*Format
*Recently played

Or group them by:
*Format
*Album
*All

Here's an example. Can I get Final Fantasy 7,9,8 to be 7,8,9 without downloading them all over again? No I can't.

wow...yeah after reading your further opinions on the dash I dont think Im trusting your opinion on the ps3 dash it seems to me you voted ps3 dash just because its ps3.

WilliamRLBaker

And judging by your other thread, You vote for the NXE 2.0 because it's Xbox.

Oh and is that a picture of you?

The 360's is a convoluted mess, but I haven't seen it's updated version yet. Didn't even know it got updated.

The PS3's is "ok". it's kinda overly complex too. It's big issue is that it take like 10 button clicks to do one thing. Its sub menu after sub menu after sub menu. My dad once tried to use it nad got pretty frustarted.

The wii one is the best. One or two click and you're done. Just like a PC or an iPhone.

I favor the PS3's. It's simple and well laid out IMO. I like the Wii's ok. I like the 360's ok too, but I miss the blades. I still think the new Mii knock offs they used is sooo freaking cheesy and lame.

Exactly! Simple and straight to the point. Not to mention they havent pulled the rug out from under you and completely revamped the XMB. Like how MS did with the blades. I really liked the blades. There should be a dang option. lol.

to be honest, I like the PS3's Dashboard better than the others.

Yeah it's simple to use and navigate but I also like the Wii because of the Wii Mote.:)

You guys are nuts, in regards to the new Xbox Dashboard. It looks much cleaner than the old one. It still isn't as good as XMB, but it isn't that bad. Though to be fair, the only thing i've done was updated and logged into Netflix. Are there any new customization options?

lol how come theres never any options anymore, we're paying good money for these consoles, we should be able to pick and choose what we want the XMB/DashBoard to look like.

Yeah my biggest gripe with the NXE is the bombardment of ads. XMB is much better. In-game, however, the old xbox dashboard works because it's fast and all the functions you need are right there.

The Wii's is the most simple, and stylish I think. I also like the PS3's, but I don't really like the 360's at all.

I like the XMB best. Simple and clean, and my LBP theme is nice. Not really digging the new 360 dashboard. The colors are ugly and the sounds are just... weird.

When do you have to go through ads to go to any marketplace? :? As soon as the console boots up, all three marketplaces are just 1-3 pushes of the d-pad away, it's the easiest dashboard in the entire world.

I like Xbox's, it feels more lively. Yeah, the advertisements suck, but they aren't a big deal when your trigger moves faster than your eyes.

the XMB (Sony's "dashboard") is so clean and virtually clutter-free. Not to mention you can fully customize it yourself, however you want. Want your favorite game characters as Icons? go for it. Want a bunch of NSFW images for your icons/background? thats all you! yeah.. XMB is by far and wide, the best, IMO.

[QUOTE="Zanoh"]

[QUOTE="hexashadow13"] How is 3.0 worse then before? You don't have to use the new styles if you don't want to. And it adds dynamic themes which are AWESOME. You still don't have to use them if you don't want to though. If you meant the new random icons in random sections then I guess I sort of agree somewhat. So yeah, what do you mean exactly?hexashadow13

The random icons in random sections, the removal of the classic black background, and the removal of the old startup and boot themes is the reasons. Other than that it's ok.

The classic black background isn't there? I could have sworn it was. -_-

Even though it says "Classic", trust me it isn't. the Black background is gone :(
