Seriously. Everytime I see it in a screenshot. It hurts my eyes from the blandness. Pry open your wallets Sony and make some changes already. I know you're broke but you gotta spend money to make money. This is my advice.

The boring aspects of the UI symbolizes how the public view Sony products. Expensive boring bland. They need to hire some software engineers from apple or google or even MS.

I love my UI, custom made from head to toe, easy to navigate and best of all no streaming, intrusive ads.

Easy to use and navigate. I don't need it to change every 6 months and have huge icons that features multiple page changes as if I am using a tablet.

Noob Lemming. The PS interface is HIGHLY customizable. I have an awesome Heavy Rain theme with a dynamic backround of rain.

It looks sick. Sony doesn't need to change it noob, you can change it. This isn't Microsoft, you don't have to pay.

I like it's minimalism, not a big fan of PSN store though, woulda liked the theme to carry over there a bit more.

Agreed... its bland and archaic. Especially when compared to the competition. Ultimately though it works fine. I just think sony loses face with a public that expects evolution in their devices.... ps3 ui is a dinosaur in that respect.

Looks very nice to me and I love the alternative themes. I actually wish the XMB worked half as good as it looked.

The XMB is fine, its fast and simple. Plus there are tons of great themes to use.

360 use to have to best UI until they changed it 3 times...I wish they would bring back the Blades, or at least give you an option to use it again.

Don't worry, the Playstation 4 will have an enhanced version of LiveArea that is controlled using the tablet screen on the Dual Shock 4.

Its simple, user friendly, efficient and dynamic themes are nice to look at when browsing the options and menus. So, No. Its fine for this generation, it'll change on the next playstation. That was the case with the vita.

I love the Xross Media Bar, so easy and quick, with a feeling of snappiness that the 360 just doesn't have.

Pity they scrapped it for Vita.

I don't think anyone cares about the PSN UI. It serves the purpose and I've never encountered any great difficulties finding what I need to find. I don't suspect most gamers ask for much more. At least it doesn't look outright bad or anything.

The XMB has always been clean, fast and simple. On a design standpoint, it doesn't use the screen space effectively but other than that, nothings really wrong with it. Sony isn't going to put a new OS on the PS3 but we'll probably see a new OS on the PS4.

I hope they never spend needless money and change the XMB, as it works perfect. I navigate seemlessly. Sony is spending money where gamers should care about, Games. The competition can freely spend money doing annual changes to their interface, making the last year's model obsolete, but that's just a waste of money....spend that money on games.

I love my dynamic themes fyi.

Xbox Live is not UI lol where you guys get this ideas? Firmware creates UI whatever console netwrk service is, in fact Xbox UI got it's name (atleast the there 2-axis UI, little similar to XMB btw) New Xbox Experience (NXE), first one was called Dashboard as i remeber :p

You're nitpicking. I think it was pretty obvious he was referring to XBL's UI, even if he didn't say so directly.
