It's not really hard to navigate, but the PS3's XMB definitely has it beat in terms of simplicity.

I had just as much trouble getting accustomed to PS3 and 360 menus, they are both good though.

I wouldn't say confusing but reassigning the controllers ticks me off the most.

...Probabaly the best UI console to date.

Agree, NXE is good once you get used to it. What the Wii has is just bad.

You just gotta know where it puts it. But i agree that it's not as intuative as the Cross Media Bar (PS3). It hides some stuff, and it has lots of bars that aint needed (seriously, why do you need a seperat game, video and music marketplace bar, a my community bar and etc, but shove my games, my videos and my music into one bar?)

Yeah, it really doesnt make any sense that if you go into Quick launch and go to recent downloads that the game will be there. Or that if you go to my xbox and then my games that it would be there. It really should be in the music menu.

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

sillaris

It took you ten minutes to go to the my friends tab and then go to add friend, even if you are unfamiliar with the dashbord its not that hardeven my mrs who isn't a big gamer was navigating the dash bored perfectly fine within a few minutes.

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...

Mystic-G

And I tried to play online for free on the 360 and realized I could not...

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.

if its not the most intuitive than how is it simple and straight to the point? Its just as easy to find things buuuuuuuuut setting up games with friends was anything but simple, surprisling without group chat getting into a game is annoying as hell,

Wow, I would call you something right now but I would get mod'd for trolling (starts with a S, ends with a D ;) ) 1) Press Guide button (BIG, glowing X on controller), scroll down to Quick Launch and everything's there 2) Same thing as above then head to the 3rd option where everything is included (any parties/invite to party,friends list, msgs, recently played ppl) You people are just grasping at straws now to troll 360 :lol:

i absolutely disagree, the 360 dashboard is way easier to navigate than the XMB. in my opinion of course.

It saddens me that in 2010 we have to beat around the bush to insult someone's obvious stupidity in fear of being modded on a gaming forum. The dashboard might be confusing if you're 4 years old but my 5 year old cousin has no problem navigating it.

xmb is definately more simplified

coltgames

no its not, they are identicle literally, you have the main options you scroll left to right on xmb, you select them by going up and down on the 360

you want games, go to my xbox, then scroll right to game library.... everything on your xbox is in "my xbox" including all the options and gamertag info, than you have game marketplace... video marketplace... music marketplace... my friends... spotlight... my community... inside xbox....

if this is difficult to navigate I'd highly recommend playing those 3rd grade reading comprehension titles

edit: dam gamespot and its dam wankerrific next lines

really...i've never had problems with XMB or the PS3 interfaces.

Same here, i used it before the ps3 was out but after playing ps3 i realised just how terrible the xbox UI is but still not worth creating a topic about..

I Like the PS3's interface more, but that's probably just because I had a PSP before 360 or PS3 and I was already used to the menu layout, usually I like whatever I'm used to first, but 360's menu is still pretty easy for the most part, especially when you get a message or a download completes and you just have to press the Guide button and it automatically brings it up for you. That's a really shweet feature

It took you that long to press the big button in the middle scroll to the far left and go all the way down.

I guess I could see how it would be confusing for someone who hasn't used an Xbox 360 before. Then again, all you have to do is hit the guild button when it says demo downloaded and you could play....

Well it took me even longer to know why i could not play online out of the box with my 360,since on PS3 is like that,i also had a hard time finding youtube upload option on games,and the internet broser,but what i am still trying to figure out is what do you have to do so that Blu-Ray movies will play,that one really has me mad.

Funny. When I bought the PS3 last year, I thought the dashboard was crappy and cluttered compared to 360. But then you get familliar with it, and the problems go away. Don't hate on something that you are JUST getting used to...

Can't compare it to the PS3, but I absolutely hate the NXE dashboard compared to the original one. It added so much unnecessary clutter to the interface. The original just looks cleaner and was easier to navigate.

Confusing? It's alright but I agree that the PS3 Dashboard is more organized but the 360's Dashboard isn't confusing. just not as organized as the PS3's.

wow. 10 minutes man? how long does it take you to find something on the XMB? 9? goog God both are pretty fast. Im boggled that you didn't press the big button wit a green X on it and flip to "MY GAME LIBRARY" :lol: um what was the game demo? and you do realize that once a demo downloads it pops up in the bottom of the screen. if you hit the big green x then it would pop up to the downloader with a pretty big play now near he bottom. hopefully you put it in the back ground because the downloader itself says play now in gray until the demo downloads in which it Play now turns white meaning that the demo is ready to play. heck if you were on the dashboard and scrilled down to MY XBOX it has MY GAMES really clear. how did you manage to spend 10 minutes? if Reading is really hard I'm hate to have to put you through the ordeal of decoding the meaning of Icons on the XMB, how long did that take? oh that's right only the 360 is hard. my appologies.

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....

It is poorly designed, even my xbox fanboy friends think so. It looks like it is designed for children, there are too many ads, and no customization.

Ads on A DASHBOARD? That's pretty low. Ads on marketplace, fine...but ads on main menu etc.? The maybe unorganized dashboard shouldn't be the issue here, but the ads...I already am getting tired that sites like youtube, hotmail, msn and whatever are bombarding you with ads...but on even your own console? That's pretty low.

Both of them are streamlined and easy to use. Personally, I can't stand how many different settings there were on PS3's menu when I first got it.
