Don't get me wrong. The PS4 is probably the best console on the market and the first one I'd recommend to anyone in the market for a new console but damn! I just want to watch WWE Network and fall asleep. I turn on my PS4 and I'm greeted to a mess of content tossed in every direction. I would LOVE it if Sony gives us the option to customize our menus in the near future. I mean, look at this!
No rhyme or reason! Video apps are all over the place. It's just a mess! The first screen/pic is a little convoluted but simple enough. The next screen? Lord, have mercy! We have
- The Playstation Store. Great if I'm in the mood to buy something. I'd rather a game be first but hey, I can live with that.
- What's new?: Cool if I'm curious about what my friends are doing. Nothing wrong with that. Not my first destination but again, their choice.
- The game I last played. Pretty much my first destination whenever I turn on my PS4.
- TV and Video: This is where all of my video apps are. Some of them, I didn't even dowload but it's okay. I have Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, WWE all in one convenient place!
- Next? A couple more games I've played recently. Okay.
- PSNow? I've never used that. I never want to use it. Why can't I get rid of it!?!
- Live From Playstation? What the heck is that? Never used it. Forced to have it on my main screen. Let me get rid of it!
- Playstation Vue? Isn't that a TV app? Why isn't this with the other video apps!?!? I don't even have it downloaded! It's taking up my screen! I don't use it. I don't want it!
- Okay. A couple more games. I'm cool with this.
- Spotify!?! Another feature I've never used once and I can't remove from my home screen. Useless clutter.
- Share Factory!?! ANOTHER feature I've never used once. No clue what it even is. I don't use it. I don't want it. Why is it forced upon me?
- Internet browser. Ain't nothing wrong with that!
- Playstation Video. Playstation. Video. What the actual FUCK? ANOTHER GODDAM VIDEO APP that I don't even use?!?! Why isn't this with the other video apps? Why is this taking up real estate?
- The Playroom: I don't have a PS4 Camera, yet. I couldn't use the Playroom if I wanted to (and I'm not 100% sure I want to...). Again, stuck on my home screen. Nothing I can do to get rid of it.
- My Library: A well organized (name, type, etc) library of EVERYTHING listed above and more. All of the games I own and can download, all in one place. Why isn't this the first thing on the menu?
