There is more than that lacking. The messaging system is pretty cumbersome, the friends management is weird, etc. Just never cared for it and that's a huge reason I hardly play my PS3.

I also hope they fix the bluetooth chat or get rid of it for a proprietary system. It's horrible and not nearly as clear as say a VOIP like skype or even Xbox chat.

That doesn't mean it's not lacking.

I would think the word lacking would cover that. But yeah it was definitely bad.

The Bluetooth was just as bad.

I'm assuming Sony is smart enough to address all of this. Especially with the 8GB of RAM.

I'm not saying it's perfect or without flaw, but but to say that the interface is a primary reason to not use it. I just find it funny.

Tough guy to please.

ETA: I'm old fashioned though. I would still take the original Blades 360 interface over what we have now in a heartbeat.

I mean what are talking about here? I will talk the offline XMB over the ever changing dashboard of the 360, except when it comes to integration with their respective online service.

ETA. Not to mention the ads for the service you pay for.

I think there is too much content now for the blade layout. I like the tile look personally

I'm sure there is. I just have never use half the tabs. I use the game, community, apps, and settings tab. So, it would still fit in 4 blades that they originally had.

It is for me. I just don't like it. When I am on I am usually playing with someone. I am a multi player person mostly and like I said the PS3 interface just isn't as user friendly to party up, chat, message people, etc.

It has always been a deal breaker for me and I am being 100% serious here. No trolling.

I am having a legit discussion and here you go having to fanboi.

I prefer them to improve things instead of sitting on an outdated interface.

I never notice the ads. They are there but not intrusive.

Da fuq?

You are reaching here. I am sitting here discussing the failures of the PS3 and you somehow call me a fanboi for that comment?

And that's as you try and downplay the use of ads on an already paid service as well as call the dashboard a deal breaker.

They don't need to change it, they just need to make it smoother and quick.

Add a quick reply option like Android does for messaging.

Throw in voice chat across all games.

Keep the rest the same, everyone else likes it and it's won awards.

It's because you are getting defensive about some of what I said and again trying to corner me or something. Not sure why you try to do this lately.

You need to learn it's my opinion and it's OK not to agree with it. No need to get defensive about it.

Or just maybe I am not downplaying it at all. I never even notice the ads like I said. They are not intrusive nor does it anger me that they have ads on a service I pay $5 per month for.

Do you get mad when ads show up on a cable station? No? You should you pay for that service!

You have been trying to back me in a corner all day today and getting mad about my opinions. It's gotten stale fast.

Asking me the same question 12 times in that other thread didn't help to not irritate me some.

So did Hitler.

Agree to disagree because I think it needs a complete overhaul.

Holy shite. I literally just expressed my opinion of the dashboards and you called me a fanboy. Again after I was discussing the faults of the PS3.

Talk about getting defensive.

I had already explained what issues I had with it and here you were again asking me the same question I had just answered. All you did was just word it a little differently.

It's the same shite you pulled earlier.

You simply can't handle criticism of the MS console. Either way, it has nothing to do with you calling me a fanboy in this thread for expressing my opinion.

I seriously just said I preferred the XMB over the ever changing 360 dashboard.. That apparently didn't sit well with you.
