Went in here to post Persona 4, but looks like it's been posted twice. :lol
Persona 3 was also nice to look at, but was a bit laggy in comparison to its sequel , so it was a pain to use at times.
I also want to say, that Tales of Destiny remake and Tales of Graces (import only) has great menus too, much better than Symphonia/Abyss/Vesperia. Too bad I can't seem to find screenshots of it.

Thank you for saving me the trouble. R4 still has some of the most elegant, stylish menus I've ever seen. I don't even like racing games, but I love playing R4 just because it feels so refined.Rabbitwork said:its embarrassing that nobody has posted ridge racer type 4:
Dirt 2 has the best Ive ever seen

Metroid Prime 2 gets my vote as well.
Not just music, but actual menu design. Most memorable menus just have cool music and a nice layout, but is ultimately your basic lists of options. Prime 2 shot that idea to hell and let us play with a damn molecule like structure that sounds like a terrible idea on paper, but proper design made it outstanding.
Dead Space is cool too, regardless of what you think of the game itself.

inFamous
I guess this isn't really applicable, but the reason I love it is...well...you don't see it at all. When you hit the icon in your games tab on the ps3, it loads straight into the actual game. Its such a great feeling, and one of the things I enjoyed about inFamous so much. I wish more straight forward games gave you the option to do so, as 98% of the times, this is what you are going to do anyway.

excellent choice. Always liked it's speed of use.
Another vote for Riddick's rotating cube.
But people saying FFXII? By comparison, FFXIII's menu is sluggish, slow to navigate and otherwise a piece of garbage in more ways than one (granted, the narrative structure has a hand in this). How the hell is that the finest or most impressive menu you ever saw?
The God of War games and how you get from the menu in to the game with out any pause loading or anything. The first time i saw it i was totally blown away.

Orange Box was great. I liked how the background of the specific game would change after you loaded a save. Like if you were @ Ravenholm in Half Life 2 the background would show Ravenholm after you loaded the save. T'was pretty clever.
Heavy Rain's menu and pause screens were really cool looking with the rain drops.

Dead Space, the in-game menu is incredibly stylish and still very usable.

Yes. The menus in DIRT 1 were great. Didn't like the DIRT 2 menus.
