Another Video of PS3 XMB |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: Blu-ray, playstation 3 updates, Sony, XMB
Ó
In this video, we were again introduced to the user compatibility settings, options, user photo (personalization), music and movie features, and of course, Blu-ray function. Early in the demo, you'd see how images can be viewed in several different ways. You can scroll up or down, or flip them until you get the desired orientation. I believe these weren't shown in the previous video. Also, it touched on the Sony in-house browser, which was quite slow but only because it's still under development. What's interesting about this browser is that it can support 6 to 8 windows. And with that much windows open, it's just a great idea for Sony to come up with easy-to-use menus.
Keep your ears open as some features are further explained in the demo.

I like the PSP UIs funcionality. The layout is simple and very easy to use. For the browser you obviously need a keyboard for easy typing, but the other functions are designed to be used effectively with the PS controller.
Looks very sleek indeed.

The text is too small to read on a SDTV, not only on the XMB home screen, but also on the web browser. And did anybody else notice that the menu during the web browser would be cut-off on a non widescreen TV. Either that or black lines will be forced at the top an bottom of the screen, making that visible area even smaller.
Plus the controls looked confusing and unresponsive, but I have no doubt Sony will have fixed that by launch time (if not future firmware/software revisions).
All in all, a very slick design which will look marvellous to those with the equipment to view it. For those without such abundant monetary funds, Nintendo Wii's gesture plus pointing based Opera browser seems to be the ticket - I've heard the DS's Opera browser is extremely proficient.

My only problems are with how easy it will be to organise (there damn well better be more than 1 folder deep organisation), hidden folders (for my questionable content), and passwords, ect, for different usernames, aswell as user specific content, so not all my content is available to other users. Hopefully this will be clarified soon.

Few comments:
1. "PS3 becoming too much like a computer", I say hey isn't everything in your Home becoming a computer. This includes TVs, microwaves, dishwashers, fridge... you name it.
2. Computer graphics will always beat out consoles. Wrong, this was a thing of the past. Although computers can be upgraded regularly, their problem is of architecture. Since PCs are built to be multipurpose machines and the lower prices on electronics that have close the price gaps, future consoles will dominate graphics in games. Look for this generation to finally turn the tables.
3. I really don't see why they had to create their own web browser. With so many great free choices out there. They could have even licensed to use the mozilla source for their browser. I'm just afraid since they are building their own, it will be crap.
4. for DS Opera you have to pay. I say screw that! I never paid for a browser and never will. Plus with my DSes limited memory and crap screen, I doubt it can be worth anything more than free.

I love the 360 interface but XMB is pretty tight. Very easy to find whats what.
And looking at the TV i would say its like 36inch dont think its quite a 40incher.

I suppose I'll have to find some more money to buy a bigger tv, HD if possible! because scrolling webpages on a 20" won't be that good... And without HD I suppose the net will look like crap :'(
anyway, this news is really cool, full of cool features! =D

Internet is vital for the next gen gaming (as the X360 proved), and movies are a big player in this system, but knicknacks like pictures and music? I'd honestly rather have my PC, and my PS3 as seperate entities.
I guess it could be a cheap computer, though, which (if I didn't already have a $2000 machine) would be nice. But the PS3 is losing its primary focus, I think.
Now answer me this:
CAN THE PS3 RUN 'MAME' and other emulators????? (crossing fingers)

A)That's true, its does cost money.
B)You say you own a DS, but I don't believe you.
C)OperaDS comes with a memory expansion which sits in the GBA slot.
D)Crap Screen? Sounds like you need to update to a DSlite, it's beautiful.
Anyway back on topic,
Sony, please make this completely customisable for those without HDTV. There are still several PS3 games I want to play, but not really concerned if they aren't in 1080P.

to #26: man you are sooooo out of it! PC's graphics card will beat the graphics card of the ps3, yes, but the ps3 will be more powerfull anyway because it uses all of it's processing power on games, sorry but loading a "next gen pc game" on windows vista crap will be like this: 1g of RAM to run vista and around 5% of your processing power ( if you have a good PC ), now try playing a next gen ps3 game on it! what should be done with PC gaming would be to play the games WITHOUT the OS, I mean the game play like an OS, or more like console play games, so windows is not running in the background, like that the pc would be the best, but the next gen ps3 will beat the crap out of PC graphics!
But anyway for now the one and only tactic we can try to know the truth is... wait&see
ps: 21 is right on everything he said( and the psp browser is crap so I really hope they try harder this time... or put mozilla firefox =D )

My monitors resolution is 1280x1040
1 331 200 pixels
So i guess thats HD and my xbox 360 looks great running in that resolution. infact maybe a bitter better than my friends HDTV.
All the talk is about the HDMI connections at the moment though...

No one with older analog TVs should worry. Sony should know that not every single person buying their console has got a HDTV yet.
