Making waves: PlayStation XMB headed to new Sony Vaio laptops |
Ó
Considering that the XMB won an Emmy award (get ready for a mouthful: "The Emmy Award for Outstanding Innovation and Achievement in Advanced Media Technology for the Best Use of Personal Media Display and Presentation Technology"), you can't deny the fact that the graphical user interface of the PS3 and PSP is indeed making waves... LOL, did I just make a pun there?
Now, Sony's announced that they'll be incorporating the XrossMediaBar up, down, left, and right into their latest line of Vaio mobile laptops, the Vaio FW series. This line of notebooks will have the new Media+ software that uses the XMB interface.
To further sweeten the pot, you can hook up your PS3 or PSP to the Vaio FW, via DNLA server. Now how's that for interconnectivity? Throw in that Bravia too - its V4500 HDTV series also has the XMB, y'know.

graphical user interface of the PSP and PSP is indeed making waves... LOL, did I just make a pun there?
No, you put a typo there. XD
you, i had that copied and all to say the exact same thing
anyway FFS drop the XMB it is the most depressing UI ever, its just, just
nothing, nothing special at all, i hate it
good one alistar.... thats intersting... i never thought that woud happen... is this like gonna replace windows, or is it just gonna be an extra thing, like windows media center?
Hopefully replace Windows.
Please stop using internet acronyms like LOL in articles, it makes QJ sound very unprofessional.
You do know that you access the internet to post here. So, internet acronyms are appropriate, yes?
the xmb is the best interface ever. it just plain works. simple, to the point, fast, good looking and fully functional and expandable. i dont see how its depressing?
this is a blog. not a chat room or an IM or a forum. and i have to agree, when im reading news i dont want lol's and rofl's. its annoying and gets in the way of reading a well punctuated article.
get a life and stop complaining
lol, llf, wdc, rofl ......
heh. thats cool. so i wonder if it's gonna be like a media center type thing (but much better).
This is the internet, if you dont like it write your own blog about bull***** and make it sound professional.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OLOLOLOLOLOLOLO L OLOLOLOLOLOLOLO L OLOLOL
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OLOLOLOLOLOLOLO L OLOLOLOLOLOLOLO L OLOLOL
HOW YOU LIKE MY LOLS B!TCH?
hopefully somebody hack it to make it so you can do to all computers.
that would be freaking sweet.
it will not replace windows. it will be like a media center type app im sure. sony would not drop going with windows, you lose 95% of your market by doing that and thats a big cash cow to give up.
im guessing its going to be like hp's quickplay where (on older laptops) you can play dvd's and other media even without booting into windows... make sense right? saves time from booting vista.
I have to agree with GW2, the XMB is such a simplistic idea and it just works so well.
It doesn't matter to me, but I think they should sound more proffesional. I mean they do have a large following and they should want to sound somewhat smart. But what ya gonna do ;]
is there anything better on other consoles?
before you mention 360 dashboard, they're actually scrapping it with an update. Therefore, it is OFFICIALLY a crap UI.
The new 1? looks unclear an dull.
is l33t, so wtf b? bury me a G blood
sony makes a new bd player with an XMB interface. But otherwise, i will be tempted to buy the newly anounced europeon(confir med?) 80gb ps3 as my media player
The 360 dashboard is the same as the XMB, except for the fact that the interface looks nicer. Instead of centering on a single option, you can see a list of options.
While I love my PSP, I just don't like the XMB. Looking at the XMB options it centers whatever you're on, and you can see part of one above and part of one below.
360 example:
Option1
Option2
Option3
Option4
Option5
PS3/PSP example
Option1(half)
Option2
Option3(half)
-andrew- -kupomogli-
you can se 5-6 options at a time on the ps3/psp systems.
of all its emcp
second of all, i dont own a 360, so im not a fanboy and just ditching the xmb, if anything im a sony fanboy
also yes its good, i used to like it due to its simplicity but ive gotten to bored with it
and sony should at least give their consumer the ability to change the menu, just like CTF (CXMB)
it can still keep the simplicity but just modify it a bit, instead of just changing icons
thats my argument
and while their might not be a better interface else where it doesnt mean it should be left
second of all just because a UI gets updated doesnt mean the previous was crap
the xmb got updated with custom icons, does that make the original crap???
seriously thats something a retard would say, or a 2 yr old
but maybe it should walk my dog too and read my mind. oh the dissapointment
