downloaded a demo on 360 had no idea where it went after the download. took a long time to find it.

took about 10min to figure out how to add a friend to my friends list.

theres about 10 menu's that you can scroll up. then about 15 more options that your can scroll too the right

360 has a horrible clunky interface

It certainly isn't the most intuitive for certain aspects. Still, it looks good, and is still relatively easy to navigate.

PS3's has it beat in simplicity though.

you mean when the demo finished downloading, and the pop up appeared saying so, and you hit the guide button it was confusing as to where the demo was when it gives you a big play now text?

I have no problem finding my games...since...they are under my games....

Wow the PS3 dashboard is stupid and confusing compared to 360.

It took me 10 minutes just to figure out how to download a demo.

Then I tried to cross-game chat and realized I couldn't on PS3.

see what i did there...

I fail to see how cross-game chat and confusing have to do with each other... you are trying to hard and failing to the TC, if you can't navigate 360, how often do you get lost in your own house?

It has its ups and downs. I do agree that on an intuitive level its easier to find a download on the PS3 than on the 360 (it simply takes less sorting). On the flip side if you sat till the end of the download as another member mentioned than all of this is really moot.

Lol. The big pop up saying DEMO DOWNLOADED, which can immediately be jumped to by tapping the guide button, was confusing?

Bwuhahaha!!! Clever. I have to agree though, PS3's XMB may not be the most innovative or cool UI, but it's simple and straight to the point.

That's only a single prompt. If it's missed, then it can be a little more confusing. Not much though :P

Demos and videos can be hard to find after you've downloaded them if you're not paying attention when the popup is on screen. Friends can be easily added by viewing either the Friends list on the dashboard or the Friends tab on the guide button; there's an Add Friend option in both and it's pretty easy to find if you've got no friends since it's one of your only options. As far as the number of menus that can be scrolled, the PS3 has exactly the same interface, it's just sideways. ITT: the TC demonstrates his inability to learn new technologies.

yeah i guess when a dl takes 45 mins then an additional 15 mins to install it gives you plenty of time to learn the psn layout.

I agree with that. The new one looks great, and it's relatively easy to find things like Live marketplace and such. The blades made it much easier to find demos, music and videos though.

I find the XMB simpler and snappier than the NXE. However, once in a game the XMB's snappiness goes away.

the old one is still there in it's entirety.

it's the one that you pull up using the guide button. from there you can back out to the new one or just stay and navigate the blades.

Yup, I know that. It's what I use to navigate to my demos and active downloads and such.

Still, overall I just preferred the old one for it's downright simplicity (not that the new one is hard in any way).

I think the 360 dashboard is a little "too simplistic". I wish they would organize it a little better. The more folders the better!
