xmb is much 'cleaner' to me, dashboard feels kinda... jumbled and all over the place i guess, even if things are in their right places, it still feels very spread out.

I definitely prefer the minimalist XMB over the somewhat cluttered Dashboard.

They both follow the same general design elements (horizontal scrolling for categories and vertical scrolling for elements), but the XMB looks slicker. However, the 360's dashboard has better sorting capabilities, and it being usable ingame make it the clear winner for me.

I havn't used the XMB, but as people have said the dashboard does get very cluttered.

Luckily the Spring update should fix that.

xross media bar, its what the ps3 uses to let you find your videos, music, photos etc, its like the xbox dashboard, you get it when you turn your ps3 on.

I'd go with the XMB for reasons stated above. Though, in a future update I hope Sony will include the option for picture backgrounds (solid or transparent).

Well, it is a good design..and they wanted to streamline the aesthetics and technology between their platforms so using XMB for PS3 was a good choice.

its probably the overlapping design, its not actually cluttered it just gives the feeling of it being.
