However, being a PS3 nut, I am a bit jealous of the XBL extra features such as last.fm.. I dont understand why Sony doesn't incorporate it. Plus XBL does have game-mp3 support---but Sony will fix that with a patch
XMB may be nice for just standard things like getting to the PS store or popping in a disc and playing it... (or auto-start FTW) but for media playing, I really hate it's design. I prefer the NXE's design when I stream my music so that gives it the edge IMO. 3.0 does nothing but add adspace to the design (which probably could end up like the Ad space on NXEs)
There's too much crap on the screen for NXE, makes the point of having a background seem redundant. Not to mention Telus ads as far as my bro's 360 is concerned.
NXE has too much stuff that I don't even use, and it's full of ads, some not even for games! XMB all the way.

Seriously, the ads in NXE = :evil:
What ads are you talking about? The ones that show you what new demos were put up and what new features were added? Yes, Darn those ads. Darn them all!

How are people getting lost on NXE? Seems to me like there's a lot of people that have only used a 360 once, or not at all. XMB is blah...boring...whatever. NXE has a nice graphical interface, and offers more info on what you're clicking on.
NXE. It gives me more useful information. Inside Xbox, IGN Strategize, Community spotlight, New Marketplace content, Community events... all easily accessible without having to launch into a separate app.
There should be a poll. I like the XMB better because it gives people a chance to customize their own ps3 XMB through a software program.Also the XMB to me is easier touse. The XMB 3.0 update themes just change up the whole feel and look of the XMB, but themes on the 360 don't really do so IMO.
Why are people so focused on the animated backgrounds? They're adding some cool things like Friends and Mail notices in the upper right hand ticker. And a What's New section. Granted, these are things that the NXE had since it launched, but they're still a step in the right direction.
XMB looks classier and is alot easier to move between music and vidoes. however NXE is better for online content. So i will go with NXE for online and XMB for everything else
Totally disagree with this. Intuitive =/= a list of 7 menus each with a line of panels and boxes that dig into other menus. The XMB is alot more straightforward and to the point. Sometimes I forget where to go for a specific thing in NXE. I Personally preferred the blades dashboard...all this other stuff is fluff
[QUOTE="Wings_008"]the NXE is much more intuitive Uptown

Not really in NXE has more items and more choices so of course you its going to be more complex. It does include things you buy unlike XMB that you have to launch into the PlayStation store.

If by more "choices" you mean more clutter. Then Yes. Its a terrible layout and I dont understand why anyone would take it over the XMB. The only great thing the NXE has over the XMB is the party system really. It seriously is cluttered.
