I've seen the ps4's UI in videos and for the most part it looks pretty barebones, so have any of you been able to customizes it so it's nicer to look at

No customization at all. It looks just like the videos. I hope it eventually gets updated to be able to personalize it a bit.

I like it personally, not sure what the complaints are about. I understand if you want to customize it and make it look more unique but I like how it's nice, simple and straight to the point.

Yeah, that's the one think I'm not looking forward to when I do get mines b/c I'm such a customization whore, lol. I mean, I'm sure they're working to fix that or implement it in w/ future updates....I just hope it doesn't take forever.

Btw, (for those that own one now) can you not even change the background image either?? I would think that's something easy that can be done....:(

U can't customize anything afaik. I like it so far it's so much better than ps3 and x1 currently. I liked the 360s ui which makes me sad the x1 seems a step backward while the ps4 took a huge step forward. Then again I hated the ps3s ui so it had lots of room.

Aww, that's a pity. I mean, but it is pretty nice looking so I guess that's cool, too. But knowing me, if it's not fixed by the time I get one (the coming couple of weeks), it'll probably work my nerves if I look at it enough, lol. But thankfully at least it's not hideous.

You don't even own a PS4 and you're already asking for the UI to be changed? The PS4 UI, while lacking customization, is NOT ugly and it's, more importantly, simple and clean. The only thing I like to see added is main tiles i.e. games, media, sharing. If you have enough games on your hard drive the tile "row" can get a bit long to scroll across to find a game you haven't played in a while.

All in all it's much better than the XB1's UI especially now that they're ditching Kinect. I'd hate to have to navigate that busy mess without voice controls.

I hope it gets updated. It isn't bad, but I don't like going down a single line to find what I'm looking for.

Well for one, where exactly did you even see me say that I was ASKING for it to be changed?? I said I'm sure that it will something that would be implemented in future. Secondly, I don't know why you'd bring up the comment about 'is not ugly and it's, more importantly, simple and clean', as if to imply I mentioned something about it being ugly.....because I didn't.

Read someone's comments more carefully before making assumptions on what you thought they said. <_<

Although, I will admit I agree w/ you about them adding things like more media options and sharing. I was actually surprised when someone mentioned it doesn't even support (at least not yet) most of audio/video formats that the PS3 does being a bit of an audiophile that's a bit of downer.

I dig it, but being able to customize would go a long ways. That and being able to sort what displays on the main row would be huge.

If you love the colour blue you will love it.

If you don't like themes you will love it.
