|
 |
Has anyone updated their ps3's to 3.0 yet?
A combination of the huge fonts and ugly ugly grey borders around your friends listing has to make this TB's worst ever update on any console. I am sure people with 50"+ screens see an advantage but to increase the font size by so much yet deny the user a 'standard' option seems crazy!
I DO like the fact you can now use multi-audio inputs, allowing you to use both hmdi and optical, but the rest...awful..awful beyond words.

The larger fonts are an improvement IMO. The grey borders around friends names is a strange choice though and it doesn't seem to tie in with the rest of the look at all. Also, for me the whats new page is very slow to update when you select it.

I honestly think the guys responsible for these firmware updates have no taste whatsoever, it's as if they've been given the code for the UI and are slapping stuff on willy nilly. It really shouldn't have been released like that. It's fuck ugly. Aesthetics aren't everything but they have a nice UI to start with and are slowly eroding it.
There are some improvements though. I like the size increase for example, although I agree it should have been optional, the new PS3 logo too (but why is it right aligned?), the animated background and focal effects when going through menus are nice, and the ability to use the analogue stick in films to control the speed of playback is very cool... but those grey backgrounds, the clunky user account stuff at the top right of the screen and the incessant need to have the Playstation store in every menu selection...

Havent updated myself, but I sense no love for this thing. What they need to be working on is BC for the consoles that don't have it...

Yeah on 40" and above the font size increase probably doesn't detract from the experience but 32" and below..............jeeze.

I think you're obsessing a little bit too much over this, how much time do you actually spend in the XMB? Like 20 seconds if that? ;p

I spend at least 2 or 3 hours a day on the XMB. With no games to play what else is there to do?
...although it's hyperbole they have uglified it in a very amateurish way.

He probably doesn't play anything he has to pay for  That's why he only looks at XMB. |

I don't mean respond as in change, but respond with a statement. They aren't going to rush out another firmware update so soon, and I wouldn't want them to (take your time, and get it checked out by someone with functioning eyes) - but it'd be nice to see what their take on the negative opinions are (like with Blizzard and peoples response to the so called rainbow colours).
