The PS3 user interface that is. I thought it's very minimalist and easy to use. It's all there for you in a simple package and doesn't have a lot of clutter. I'm actually rather disappointed that the PS4 isn't going with something similar.
Any other fans? If you're not a fan you must be some kind of hipster.

Only complaint I have is that the XMB is slow as molasses in January. Opening it up in some games runs the risk of freezing the system. I've heard the PSP doesn't have this problem, and I'd imagine with the resources dedicated to the OS of the PS4 the PS4 won't have this problem.

XMB isn't the most intuitive menu (as a 12yo. I couldn't figure out how to play games on Walmart's PS3), but it's very logical. Everything fits into where you would expect it to be, and most things don't require you to go through several menus to get what you want.
To play Skyrim on 360 you would have to go to 'Games', scroll through the laggy menu and select it. For XMB the directories are very similar, but it flows. You don't jump from menu to menu, you just scroll around one neatly packaged one.
But yeah, it gets really bogged down when you're doing anything other than sitting at the menu.

Yeah the Wii was probably the easiest to use out of all three current gen systems. But I'd agree that the XMB was really good and straight forward but kind of slow because of limited hardware. Like Jabber said though, it's very logical. I never understood why Xbros thought it was so difficult. I guess I shouldn't judge them too much if they do need big colorful pictures and avatars all over to understand anything.  Again, sad that the PS4 is going to use a similar menu system.

Oh it's going to be like the 360 dash? That's unfortunate.

I love the PS3 menu. I think it just makes sense. I remember when I first got PS3 my TV was crap... I could barely make out what anything said, haha. So, in short, it was great because even in my near-blind state, I still managed to work it because of its simplicity.

I probably should have PM'd her about it. Yeah a key component was missing and I teased her about it a bit. I just remembered that she wasn't too happy about me doing that though so I'll just leave it there.

>$ Is that a reference to the ads that are notorious on the Xbox dash? Oh I reaaaally hope they don't do this on PS4. I'm pretty fed up with ads being all over the place these days. If I'm going to be paying for PSN (which is bad in the first place) I don't want to see a single ad selling me whatever. Maybe a game ad is fine like they currently do but I don't want it taking up 2/3 of the screen.
