I don't know... I like it. It's simple and nice but I want to be completely wowed me if I want to give it a 10. Right now, I'm giving it a 8.0. Though at times, it can go lower due to restriction. If somehow Sony figures out how to develop a 3D talking person, a virtual person if you will, in the background I will give it a 10.

well i think it has way more of a wow factor then the 360/Wii. when its running on HD it looks really pretty and that smoke/wave thing catches peoples eye.

Yeah, I don't have an HDTV so maybe that's the problem. Though I have to agree it's better than 360 and Wii but I'm still hoping that virtual female in the background will arrive.

I'll give it a 9/10 it's easy to use, i can find what i want very quickly, i think it would be better if you could customise it more ie have your own wallpaper and icons etc.

http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html Check the reference image and then check on the browser, depending on how close the iamge is the better it is. Even Firefox doesnt get it quite right yet.

I would give it a 9. It would be a 10 if i could figure out how to stream my movies in the movie tab. They just sit there and dont move at all.

you need to set up the icon yourself if you download.. just start the trailer then press the triangle button a menu appears on screen one of the options is icon.. select that and it will do a 15 sec copy of the trailer and set it up as the icon.

Hi mate, you need to setup a thumbnail, I beleive they call it "icon", yeah? (running a danish ps3, so I'm not sure)..

Anyway, move to a "movie" thumbnail, which doesn't move, then triangle click, now you'll see an option similar to, create thumbnail - create icon, or something like that.. click that.. and now the movie will appear, now you have to setup the thumbnail.. from where you click, it will make a 15second thumbnail.. From now on.. Your that movie file will run everytime you're in the movie tap :) looping those 15 seconds!.. GL!

 

Myself, I'm gonna have to give it around 9.2 ~It's not perfect!  It's probably the most brilliant browsing system for a console I've seen in a long time, and I've owned pretty much any console :-P.. It's easy, it's stylish and it runs flawlessly (for me at least ;)).

I miss being able to zoom in pictures, being able to set up a background, and lastly the visualizer running in the background while listening to music... These are "small" things, hence why it hasn't drawn the score that much down.. =-)... and I like it's similar to the psp ~it's a fantastic idea to have co-op gadgets working together that easily

6/10... such a hassle when you have to go through tonnes of files and you're looking for a specific one. Wish there was a better sorting/searching system.

Current form - 7/10. It has room for some easy improvements in organization, friends system, and add more features..... needs better itegration to PS store. It's very fast and easy to use compared to 360 dashboard though.
