PS3 GUI Takes Page From PSP Book

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-you'll-be-using-for-the-next-ten-years dept.

sdmonroe writes "As the PS3 launch approaches, the first glimpses of the console's new interface have started to hit the web. The interface borrows many features from the PSP GUI which got such broad acclaim, and includes simple drop down menus for accessing important settings like video resolution, audio output, and management of your virtual friends. Customizability and configurability are also some of the features gamers can expect."

    Its sad when Sony implementing a half-decent menu design is news.

    Dont get me wrong, the gui seems very clean and usable, but theres nothing in there you wouldn't expect.

    I do have one question though; will it be able play games automatically without going through the GUI? Because tapping "Animal Crossing DS" is one thing, but scrolling through a bunch of menus seems like it would throw up a mental barrier to play.
