PS3 XMB vs. X360 interface vs. Wii channels

Which is your favourite?

PS3

X360

Wii

I'm sorry..but I have NO idea what the X360 interface is called...

I voted for XMB, btw.

If we can put custom theme in the PS3 XMB(Like on the psp), then that's my favorite.

If we can't then the 360 wins it for me.

Wow the XMB looks so confusing

1st: X360

2nd: salad

3rd: XMB, Wii Channels

Edit: now that i look the Wii's,its as confusing as the XMB or more

Yes you can.

Xbox 360 = Blades and it is far better then the PS3. It goes Xbox 360 Blades >>>> Wii Chanals >>>>>>> PS3DXGreat1_HGL

ummm actually its called the dashboard. When you press the guide button on the controler the Guide "Blade" will show up. Thats a blade, the dashboard is the main UI.

If you think the Wii channels look confusing you should be shot.

It's like the most simply laid out system ever with massive pictures showing what each channel is, how can that be confusing, I always find the Xbox to be most confusing, what's with the weird sideways writing up the sides and it's not the most attractive. I like my XMB on my PSP so I'd say that is second, it has like everything mapped to one icon so it's easy to find things.

imo i hate the wii channels. xbox 360 looks very nice. im going to have to go with xmb since im so used to it with the psp and ps3 and i really like the style of it. also full custom themes = instant winArjdagr8

That's why I like the XMB so much, full custom theme.

Its so awesome.

The wii channel looks freakin ugly.

The Ps3 xmb looks more mature and you could customize however you want.

The Dashboard looks simple and easy, but the design isnt the strong point.

Wii chanlles are the easiset seeing as its big bright letters and all you gotta do is point and click

the XMB can be confusing at times seeing alot of the options are spread out through the bar.

How does XMB look confusing to you? It's by far the simplest interface I've used.

yeah. you gotta get the new GTA4 theme. the character at the back keeps changing (i.e. when you turn it on, when you exit a game etc.) its an amazing theme.

The PS3 XMB is simple, clean and OK. Like that you can download themes with different icons, sounds, backgrounds. But in terms of style, the 360 Dasboard looks, feels and it awesome. The Wii is really simple, very clean and really easy to use.

1. 360 Dasboard

2. Tie between Wii and XMB

Just noticed, alot of people are saying the 'XMB looks confusing'

Should've specified that you should've used them, but the XMB is a really clean and simple but flexible interface. At least imo :|

i agree with the xmb and the dashboard but the wii channel isnt that ugly. try getting that cursor to the rite spot if the icons were as small as the others. but yea, xmb all the way because its well laid out.

Exactly not only does it have the type for the main headings like Videos Pictures Music Games, but it shows pictures of it. And everythign is neatly lined down so it is easy to navigate.

I mean you really appreciate the XMB when using a Sony TV. So much easier to navigate the menu with the XMB on a Bravia as opposed to other Tvs.

im gonna have to agree with the first post. i really think the wii channel is horrendously ugly compared to the other two

The XMB menu should of stayed on the PSP. It just seems more of a portable-type interface rather than something you put on consoles. But the strongpoint of the XMB menu on the PS3 is that you can customize your XMB - icons, sounds, and wallpaper -on it and download themes from the internet via PS3 or USB.

The Dashboard is very simple to use but the organization in the settings menu is fustrating to use. Other than that, it's probably the ideal interface for any console other than the lack of customization equal to the PS3's. You can still have wallpaper though.

As for the Wii channels, I can't say much. I've only used it a couple of times but it is easy to navigate through and overall, fairly easy. Again, the Wii channels lack any sort of customization.

For me, all the interfaces are easy to use with no major hassles. The 360's interface design is superb and the Wii's interface is simple, unlike the complex XMB or dashboard menus. The XMB menu is more of a PSP or portable-type menu, which is one feature I like so much about the PSP. Although the same thing (except more icons and features), it just doesn't seem right using the XMB on a PS3 or a console in general. It's still a great interface but not as good as the dashboard or the channels.

I remember my dad getting frustrated to the point of anger with the PS interface.

So my vote goes to wii for being the easist to use. It cuts through the crap and lays out everything in a click and point icon system.

I dig the XMB on the PSP so PS3 should not be different. However the Wii channels are simple and easy to use. For some reason I think the 360 dashboard looks cluttered.

1. Wii

2. PS3

3. 360 (Its not bad, just not as good, IMO)

It's basically the PS3 menu, just that you navigate the settings on your tv. Like this:

oh right, sweet

I like the XMB the best. Its the easiest to use.

360

its so simple and easy to use

the X360 dashboard is the best, but i like the XMB okay too.

XMB is the best in my opnion. It's not confuzing at all. Full themes, customization (folders and stuffz) The Wii channels look spastic and lack any organization

XMB is the best. It has way more features and you cant beat custom themes with custom sounds:)

This shows all the custom made icons for this theme.This theme even has a custom web browser pointer!:)
