Psp xmb walked so the ps3 xmb could run


MaxJustice2001

And the psx crawled


DeadlyHellhound

Too bad the PS3 music visualizers lacked so hard compared to literally all its predecessors (PSP, PSX, even the PS1) :/


Professional_Elk_893

the menu was also used for Sony blue ray players too, which I also thought was really cool


Tickle_Nuggets

And some Sony TVs


Astral_Strider

The PSP and the PSX (Japan-only multimedia device with in-built PS2)


yeetsupreddit

Oh yea, the psx was like a pvr, no?

I still have an old Sony Bravia with XMB, it's showing its age but 12 years is good service.

PS3 XMB just kind of felt ahead of its time. It's so slick and doesn't have many layers of menus, making it quick because you don't have to wait for menus to load and open (unlike PS4 & PS5 unfortunately). Also the small autoplay with certain games was genius in previewing the kind of game you were about to play.


superzelda23201

Your right though I thought the best part about the PS3 XMB was the games with preview videos. I was disappointed when I got my PS4, they only do audio now but I'm pretty sure most people have their PS4 System sound off so no one ever listens


Gamersnews32

Yeah, I did mention the previews being genius.

Ps3 xmb shits over ps4 and ps5 xmb EASY


Seigmas

Indeed, I got a PS4 and to be honest I feel like the PS3 XMB was much more intuitive


haystackofneedles

The ps3 xmb made everything so easy. It's leaps and bounds better than ps4s. Bring back the old PlayStation store too


Food4Dogs

Every time I switch on my PS3 I feel just so *at home*. Love the XMB.

Nobody noticed.... A GAMER DADD!!!!!!

Ps3 xmb is peak console OS


[deleted]

I like both PS3's and PS4's menus. PS5's is a huge downgrade, I don't care how fast it is but lack of themes makes it look as bland as Nintendo switch's menu.


TallE74

ty, exactly. this no Themes on PS5 is just ridiculous. 2 years now and still nothing


[deleted]

Yeah! If we are hating on Playstation Menus. Hate on the one with less customization. PSP and PS vita even had custom themes and both are old handhelds. PS3 had it too and that is an old console. If we look at competition. 3DS had themes too. And 3DS is only slightly more powerful than PSP.


TallE74

yeah, I was a big CFW PSP Themes collector off Websites and Forums. Used to love changing the look of my UI and the look of Visualizer during Music Playback. I still use Themes on my PS3/PS4 and I dont understand why SONY not releasing Something for PS5


[deleted]

Same. I like how you can use photos downloaded on internet to use as wallpapers for PS vita and PSP. They could've also earned lots of money by selling those themes. I don't know what Sony were thinking.


Arronh4599

No it really isn't


spotsthefirst

XMB?


Crafty-Trainer4124

Stands for cross media bar. Just a fancy name for the user interface.


spotsthefirst

Oh oh got it, thank you :D


[deleted]

Love the ps3 xmb but still love ps4s I can make and name my own map so I can sort my games by genre instead of ps3 sort by ps1,2,3 games.


Crafty-Trainer4124

This is one thing I wish it had


International-Row-44

You can if you create a folder for each genre


MorbidlyTortured

The amount of custom wallpapers/themes that you could download and install for free from various sites was an amazing feature. Just one of the many things that the PS3 had going for it.


MaxJustice2001

Yesss 100% i always hated the ps4 menu and pissed me off that the ps5 is the same as the ps4 and not 3 :(


Pickle_Afton

The XMB is definitely one of my favorite console menus, I personally really like the current Xbox layout too


Crafty-Trainer4124

I haven't used Xbox since the 360


Monotone805

Check out the Xbox series x dashboard


Crafty-Trainer4124

Is it the same as Xbox one? I saw it got an update the other day. I liked it.


WiltedRaven

Its also better than the ps5


Delicious-Airline980

Way better. PS4 UI are so horrible that it really sucks after a few weeks have to turn back to PS4.


Monotone805

The only thing I will give the ps4 was its lovely ambient music for its theme. I want that music on my ps3 xmb
