PS3 GUI Takes Page From PSP Book

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday August 22, 2006 @01:46AM 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."

Very...PSP... by the-stringbean · 2006-08-22 02:00 · Score: 5, Interesting

Well it's certainly like the PSP interface. Which is good and bad. It means that it's going to be pretty easy to use but it seems a bit underwelming considering the power of the PS3, especially if it's true that one of the Cell SPUs are dedicated to running the GUI...
The pop up menu during games seems a poor to me - white icons on a screen without a frame or background? I can see that being an issue with some games.
