The actual download only took like a minute or two and the installation too a few minutes. In all it was a rather quick update.

I don't mind the visual changes though I'm not sure about the gray blocks on the friends list. They looked separated before, but now they seem clumped together.

The status bar at the top right of the screen looks nice and should make it easier to see messages, time, ect. I think they should have font size options for the XMB. I don't mind the larger font size, but I didn't have any problems seeing it on my TV. Also, rotating the right analog stick felt pointless during videos since it's much easier to either use square to skip forward by a certain time increment and it's even easier to just use the d-pad to fast forward or rewind.

I'm not liking how you have to pay $3 for the LBP theme. I'll be sad if users can't make their own animated custom themes because I'm not paying money for my themes.

or you could use r2 to fast forward
