no its quite simple. and if it took you 10 minutes to set up bluetooth, that is your fault. it shouldnt take anybody more than a minute. 

and if navigating a Cross is dificult for you, there's perhaps something wrong with you. either that, or your lying. because the xmb just may be the easiest thing to navigate, since there arent many layers/folders, its layed out in a Cross shape. scroll up/down, left/right.

also its extremely easy to go into standby mode, the PS4 just gives you options on what you want it to do in standby mode. like activate USB ports, stay connected to the internet, being able to remotely turn it on from the internet. if you dont want some of those features on, you can turn it off. 

its extremely simple.

I'm a computer graphics major and the XMB is a piece of trash. I would be embarrased if It was in my portfolio. It is not intuitive in any way. Thankfully the PS4 UI looks much improved.

its not fancy or flashy, but its extremely easy to navigate.

Yes it is easy to navigate and that is the only thing easy about it. Too many items hidden away in menus. It is not intuitive at all. Unless you know exactly where to look it takes a long time for certain things to get set up.


Stop complaining. The fact is I let my mum use my PS3 and she knew what to do without me even telling her.

If i gave her other consoles she would probabaly give up after just looking at the cluttered screen. The XMB is award winning. Why do you think that is?

Because the people handing out awards are stupid? Please link me to these awards

I would be EXTREMELY upset if it took me 30 minutes to install a game like it takes XboxOne to install Ryse! This is extremely unacceptable in the 8th generation.


Still using discs is extremely unacceptable in the year 2013 almost 2014.

It seems like only yesterday, when 360 fans were making fun of SONY fans for mandatory installs and updates before each game could be played.


Indeed, and only yesteday that sony fans said it didnt matter.

Both wrong obviously

My thoughts exactly.

These are next gen consoles.  Shouldn't they improve on the problems of the past, instead of making them worse?

That might be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.

So popping Assassin's Creed IV into my PS4 and playing it 30 seconds later is extremely unacceptable but going onto PSN and waiting hours just to download it is acceptable?

All i can say is "wow!"



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Kinect voice controls proves nothing. That is like saying discs are obsolete because I can hit the PS button, hit right on the d-pad and jump to another game.

 

That doesn't make discs obsolete. That is just a perk of an all digital library. However, an all digital library also has it's cons. Like if you buy it and don't like it, tough shit. No resales, no returns, no ownership.

I'll stick with my obsolete disc. Ownership rights are never obsolete.

Shouldn't be using discs in the first place. Physical media is archaic. Going digital the rest of this gen. So it takes me 1 second to switch to another game while you have to get up, open case, grab disc, eject previous disc, insert new disc, put other disc away. Thanks but no thanks physical media needs to die right with Gamestop.

The vast majority of gamers disagree with you.

They will come around. Once you go digital you can't go back. Would you go back to CDs after MP3s? Same thing.

There are these cool things called reviews, demos, and renting. Hopefully digital renting becomes an option.
