I'm really excited to see the new changes, especially the ambient music!

So basically you want the current Xbox interface on the PS5. It does all of that except for a list view.

No, I want the features, not the UI (it still looks like the Windows 10 start menu, right?).
I just find it baffling that the PS4 UI doesn't support simple things that have been the standard on PC for over a decade. I also hope that they let us sort the start menu by categories. The "Last Played/Opened" sorting it uses now is annoying. I would love to sort by alphabet, while I set up favorites which are always at the top (or the left) for example.
Like, they let us sort the folders, why not the start menu? I just don't understand this.

It hasn’t looked like a Windows start menu for years.

I’d love for it to just be a simple up/down to navigate between Menus (Favourites, Games, Apps, Media, Settings)
And left/right to move between the above selected menu.

Console Warrior Mode, ACTIVATED!!!
I'd assume 2 GB. It's not just for OS, but also media app reserves and the such as well.

That's what the patents show. Something very much like XMB but with added features.
XMB really was an amazing OS.
Also a new OS is what i hoped for with Series X but looks like MS is going for an OS that's familiar across devices. No harm in that but was hoping for something new and a bit different.

It is possible for one thing to be great without another thing needing to be shit. It is possible for both consoles to be great.

As long as I don't have to endlessly scroll to the right to find a game I haven't played in a few days It'll be fine for me.

Create Folders mate. I have folders setup like 'Exclusives, Sports, 1st Person Shooters, Arcade etc.
It will shorten the amount of side scrolling you will need to do.
I have over 100 games. Imagine me having to find one by scrolling sideways lol

Yes, there are folders NOW. I'm talking about how it was before there were.

it’s pretty easy.
Settings > Account Management > Security
Select 2-step verification and setup.

Hope for a good UI this gen. While the PS4's UI works, it feels like a toys interface compared to the Xbox UI at this point. IMO

The current Xbox UI, especially for library organization, is the best for any console.

all interfaces are snappy on release day
but after enough stability fixes, you're ready to pay for the next console

Not a fan of either the PS3 or PS4 UI for many of the reasons mentioned earlier (navigability, discoverability, slowness, etc.)
I'm hoping for a customizable Netflix-like grid with sorting/filtering options and groups. Also allow me to delete useless Sony apps without having to hide them in some kind of "Crapple" group.

how much of the RAM will the OS footprint take? I am assuming 3GB as well?

Personally, I wish Sony would keep the UI and dashboard the same as PS4. Simple, easy, crisp, clean, no clutter and folders so I can minimize all the stuff I don't use.

Definitely think they should implement a grid or go back to the PS3 up and down instead of having us to do the organization with folders to prevent the side scrolling 15 tiles over.

Of course. They're never the same. New console, new design.

It’s a console UI, not a story twist.

Going in fresh seeing a console for the first time with your own eyes is pretty nice.
It could spoil the experience, hence spoilers. Doesn't have to be a story beat to be a spoiler.

You should try the fucking xbox one x
Holy shit UI was shit this gen.
Someone had the bright idea to make it all dynamic and based on remote data with some questionable caching and using essentially a web browser to render more and more of its components...
I don't understand how or why they went backwards from the 360's UI
Xbox One created 'with advertising in mind'
Xbox Live advertising division staff say the Xbox One was built with ads in mind; advertisers to get limited access to Kinect features.
www.gamespot.com
“On Xbox, the ad is part of the actual experience, it’s not something that is outside. The only difference is that the advertisement we have is quite small and not disruptive, so people are not aware of clicking on the banners because they know this is a part of the whole experience on the dash,”
It's the whole reason we lost the blades too. It's almost like the whole thing is some slow webpage. Sometimes when xbox live had problems the fucking UI became almost unusable.

I think a few people have confused what Microsoft is doing with the UI, no one ever said the Series X wouldn't be using a new UI; merely that the Series X and Xbox One would be updated in unison.
So whatever the Series X launches with would be updated to reflect that on the Xbox One, not that the Series X would be using the Xbox One dashboard.

I will always prefer the feature set of the XMB albeit going back to it from PS4’s UI takes some retraining. That was a multimedia monster... just needs a bit more RAM and faster CPU when active. It could shine with PS5 taking it to new heights.
It just does not handle game promotions and ads as well though, which is mostly what the marketing teams and some UX will ask you to add as soon as they see a cm2 of free screen real estate...

Xbox or Microsoft, just keep it light and don't call data on the home page from API's or services to lag the entire thing down (e..g What's new, friends feed etc). Or let me turn it off completely. I'd prefer to trigger refreshes if I want them, not because you think it's all about convenience etc.
