I'm pretty sure that this has been posted somewhere, I'm just not that sure and I don't know where it is (can't search).

PlayStation 3 mimics PSP

Sony has just given us a quick glimpse at PS3’s menu interface, and it’s more than just a little familiar.

Power-up your PlayStation 3 and you’ll be greeted by a PSP-style start-up screen. All the icons are identical to those of its handheld counterpart, with movies (Hi-Def ones, of course), music and web options all available. But the PS3’s interface packs a couple of new additions.

First, is the ‘Users’ button which enables you to flick between profiles, suggesting that Sony is expecting each machine to be fought over by more than one member of the family. The other intriguing icon is a ‘Friends’ button. However, Sony wasn’t willing to give us any more info on how these systems will actually function at this early stage.

Another interesting snippet was confirmation that you’ll be able to use a keyboard and mouse with PS3, enabling you to easily browse the web on your telly.

I think that it looks rather sexy, I would like to see more in order to make a full opinion though.

EDIT : Okay, I just watched that video and I do think that it looks rather promising. It's both sexy and functional!

Yes, it looks like a good interface. Simple straight forward, easy to use, not cluttered with fluffy stuff.

I couldn't be happier with PS3's interface. The crossbar is something I love using.

Its becoming easy to understand why a reasonably large portion of mem has been reserved.

Isn't there also a dedicated SPE also just for the interface? Or where you reffering to that aswell?

I agree. The XMB Interface is really awesome. I have a feeling they will have updates like the PSP does.
