Looks sleek, looking forward to what dynamic themes we can use.

I like it. I just hope we can change the main color. I like darker colors more than bright ones.
If someone finds a non-private version of the video, please post it. Thanks from the rest of the masses who are desperate for UI news
Here you go

That video is a mess. Thanks for the link though!

well explain it. I would love to see how people have come to this conclusion.
It's kind of like calling the color red 'green' and pass that off as an opinion. Based on this video, you can objectively conclude that the GUI is fast, easily navigated, and with very little visual noise. The GUI is clearly designed for speed and ease of use and does this well.
So no. "it's terrible" is not an opinion. "I think it's terrible" is. A shitty one at that, but hey, like assholes, right ?

This is likely just the devkit ui. Sony please get that ui walkthrough up on the blog ASAP. Thanks

No, it's really not. Hopefully it's still customizable like the PS3 one with folders and such. Demos and DLC was great to split up into those when searching for stuff. The Xbox UI, if not for the ads, is pretty well done. It's just that they take up most of the space with "recommendations".

Looks a lot less cluttered than the Xbone's UI. It's simple, fast, and get's the job done easily. I like it.
The UI doesn't click with me. The PS4 console UI looks like PS3's PSN Store UI prior to the latest (godawful) version. It seems inconsistent to me.

I feel the exact same way i'm only getting Ps4 at launch but xbone UI and features seem more impressive to me as well

There was a marked difference between the xbox one dev box UI and the latest reveal, so I'm reserving judgement on this until Sony show us what the retail UI looks like.

Same.
I started digging the XMB a lot more when I got my hands on an Uncharted theme so hopefully that helps on PS4, but honestly it's still pretty boring to navigate on PS3 and it took me a while to discover little features on the console because it didn't feel like there was any incentive to explore it. It's basically just a tool rather than an additional experience that gives the console some character. I get that plenty of people are satisfied with it just being a navigation tool and that's fine, but when I'm being told that "Greatness Awaits" I'd kind of like to see a little more thought being put into the entire experience, not just the stunning games. I want to be blown away from start to finish. From what they've shown so far it's just kind of bland and makes me want to load up a game right away instead of checking things out.

So it's an updated XMB?

I'm going PS4 because of the specs and it will be my console and not the family one. And I'm sure the games will look better and run better so I'm cool. Buuuuut I really think that the impact of walking into a room saying "Xbox on" and it turns your tv dvr cable box on with the voice and motion navigation is going to be strong. It seems readily next gen as compared to games where they already look like movies and real sports on tv on current gen. I think the feature set of the xbone will be easier to market and catch on with a wider audience. That $500 price tag though is ugh. I really think MS figured if Apple could charge ridiculous amounts for ipads and iphones they could get away with a $500 dollar console. Focusing on the enemies that might be and left the door open for the enemy that is.
Provided it all works as advertised.
^^^ This. Especially after using the facelifted PSN - looks nice and professional but my God at that lag.

Saw this, too last night and got excited. After watching it a few times it seems as though it isn't what you think, unless I'm seeing incorrectly (Which could be possible given quality of video). A few seconds before it actually jumps into KNACK, the user opens up the menu from the KNACK icon. He must've pressed PLAY then because a little "loading circle" can be seen rotating on the bottom left of the KNACK icon square and then just happens to launch as he scrolls back over the KNACK icon.Simple and clean.
This is fast.
A little disappointed now... I almost jizzed when I thought it was a ridiculous fast game launch
To elaborate a little more I think everything looks more tucked away in menus which makes it look like it is not as feature rich as X1's OS. I like how in the X1's OS everything is just there any readily apparent.

Seems blazing quick and responsive. I likes.

Uncluttered and easy to use (at least it looks like it to me). That is exactly what I want from a console UI. Looking forward to trying it out in a month.
Wish the video was not so shitty - SONY get on it and post something extensive and official for folks to look at!

Internet explorer looks a bit jumpy.

I guess it could be a resume feature, and the system just picking up the game from memory.

Not blown away by PS4 UI video.
My single biggest gripe about the PS3 UI is how slow it is when you bring it up while in the middle of a game, and the lag when scrolling through game tiles on PSN. If the PS4 UI doesn't suffer on those fronts then I'm more than happy.

You are seeing the gif sequence in incorrect order.
PS4 playing Knack, he push the PS button twice and go to the dashboard.

OK, that was my bad, pesky gifs lol
So what's with the loading circle icon on the bottom-left of KNACK icon that's visible around the 3:00 minute mark?
Well it shouldn't suffer, as it wouldn't have the RAM issue. Vita is a example at how snappy it can be.

Reserving judgment until the official UI demo Sony promised us we'd get closer to launch.
This looks like a slightly neutered devkit, it's poor video quality (the repost), and in French. I think it's too early to be condemning it, especially while ms has been showing metro openly for a while now.
