just to be clear for other people being confused with the fake mockups
these are the real new images
these are the real new images
the others like the calender and the trophy list are indeed fakes... which where pointed out by our fellow gaffers

Are you sure it's that configurable? I thought it was either or and not selectable by user?
I assume the last one is a mockup too, unless that guy somehow replied from a year ago.

nope since my original post had the playstation eu in its image url while the fakes did not
of course these exact pics from my current update post I got from pushsquare.com instead of copying my original image post....
why you ask? I'm not sure myself

Assuming these are a mix of real and mockup.... I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I can't honestly put my finger on it but it just 'feels' weird I guess is the only way I can put it. I'm curious how customizable it will be, like if they've kept folders/grouping/how editable the background and color schemes are. I think that type of thing would go a long way to making this a really 'special' for lack of a better word dashboard experience. Excited to see the 'real' end result though.

Really really excited about the jump in remote access feature.

I liked the XMB, I don't need to navigate large dialogue windows with giant graphics to launch a game, listen to music, chat a friend, or access Netflix.
In the minority here - I know, but I really enjoyed having the ability to pick my wallpaper image and icon style to an overall minimalist tone when navigating the PS3.

I got called out by a friend who said I was being a fanboy for saying the Blades were "fugly" and "crap". I should clarify. What I meant was that the Blades are, by comparison, fugly and crap compared to what we have today on Xbox 360, the Xbox One and the PS4. And yes, the PS4 UI is clearly inspired by the Microsoft Metro design. I'm glad. I like Metro a lot. I even liked the Blades back in the day. Today, however, I prefer the more modern, simple designs we're getting and going back to something like the Blades would be a step in the wrong direction.
That's my opinion. It is not fact.

Those people are so pretty. I wish I was pretty when I played video games. Instead I look more like this:

Not very realistic, though. It will look more like this on your screen starting November 15th:

ROFL!
Thank fuck, I've seen those and it's the only redeeming thing about the UI to me.
It's sad how convoluted and shit people want user interfaces. The XMB is fucking amazing to me. I hope the PS4 one with a blend of shitty flat metro and XMB somehow works out pretty good, I hope.
This is where I'm at as well.

Yes it is configurable, but to what degree is bit of a ?. If I Remember correctly you can at least: choose to connect/bring fb profile and/to psn profile, but do not have to. Choose If only friends see your real name/avatar or everyone. I expect more options, but remember that these were at least options.
Wouldn't be surprised if it is like the PS3 and that the colour changes depending on time and date, the wave is the same, the colour has just gone from purple to blue.
We can use our own pic for our avatar? Thank you, Sony, I've already got something in mind.
As far as I know, you have two, a typical avatar that is what everyone sees that is next to your username on the profile screen, and your real name that only friends can see that also gives you the option of uploading your own picture.

I love how it looks. I hope they update the Vita's UI to something similar.
Bubbles are bad enough on a regular Vita, but they'd be especially terrible for Vita TV.

I don't see anything in these shots that is really anything like Metro, at least that is unless anything that is box or rectangle with a bit of text is now considered "Metro", lol. Microsoft didn't invent interfaces made up of simplistic shapes, "Metro" relies on typography more than anything else, and Sony using graphical images and effects goes pretty much against the principles of Metro in the first place.
Metro is nice and all for certain things, but not everything under the sun is now Metro or copying Metro.

If you aren't going to inlude "I fucked your sister" and change the faces then you just aren't trying dude.
It just feels a bit 'crowded' to me. And that home screen with recent games across the top, more details spilling out below, and tons of icons across the top. I guess you have to use it to get a feel for it, just seems a bit overwhelming at the moment - especially compared to the relative simplicity of the XMB

Yes, it's been said on numerous occasions.
I know they are mock concepts but i really really hope there's a Calendar app planned for PS4. It would be extremely useful if it's synced with official release dates of upcoming content.

Nothing! I said nothing!
I like it, looks like the Xbox which isn't a bad thing.

That Sarah Greene chick looks like someone I would like to know. What's life without someone opposing you?
