Don't get me wrong the XMB is cool, liked it ever since I first used it on the PSP. Is it "uninspired?" No....every design is inspired by something. I disagree with the customizing is garbage tho. Why shouldn't I be able to personalize my ecosystem to my liking? That's like you not being able to move apps you frequent to certain pages/screens on your phone. You text a lot but Apple/Android says oh wait you can't customize your own screen so its gonna be all the way over here 2 screens away. And that blue screen? Nope can't change that either, no matter how much you hate it (I don't my screen is actually the blue one now on my PS3
its not uninspired, it building off something that is inspired and theres still nothing like it, this talk of "uninspired" makes me think of people looking for unnecessary clutter, there's a reason xmb tested better response times than any console interface this gen, it doesnt need transitions, the whole thing is one seamless experience - its basically one big fluid transition
its not dated, its timeless, 10 years from now when when companies are trying to shove more crap in our faces, we'll be wishing for something as fluid and elegant as the xmb
that whole customizing thing is garbage, the only reason the Pin exists is because all the stuff youre looking for that isnt on the Home button is screens away (unintuitive) and even when you throw all that stuff on Pin, its still unintuitive, its just moving stuff around to your personal liking, a bunch of blocks thrown together, those images with like 30 pins are disgusting
