I strongly dissagree. PSN I find very cluttered.

Example...Why the F*** do they list downloadable games based on year? I want to find MK2...not try to figure out what year it was released on.

Why aren't new downloads broken out by type? You have PS3, PSP, Movies, images...etc all under same listing when you look at the "new" section.

I've yet to play a PS3, but judging from the few videos I've seen it doesn't look all that bad. I've heard a lot of varying opinions on it, though.

 the new section is ordered from newest content to oldest content. If you look at the PSN every week you wouldnt need to go into ANY sub categories.  Since all the new content is right there. but hey if a long ass cluttered list of games is easier for no more power to ya.

But even 360 execs said their marketplace was way too cluttered.

You know, if it's not their WiiTooMote as they say it's not, I don't see it being the dashboard thing. How "fantastic" can a damn new dashboard be? Hopefully it's some game.

No!!! Don't hype this up... you're just setting yourself to be let down...

Look at all the previous "fantastic" announcement from MS from these types of events.. Zune?? Resident Evil??

The safest thing to do is to pretend that they will announce nothing!! Actually pretend that they will announce negative things... like console cost increases, and new & improved console updates that will brick consoles, etc!

^i still think its the x-mote even though they say its not,usually companys say tis not then it is,like last year when sony said that they wouldnt drop the price then 5 days later they announced a price drop

That's different... When you say "I'm doing an announcement and it's not X", and then you announce X, you'll look like an ass. It's not the same thing as denying a price cut.

I believe he said that there are too many games in the Xbox live arcade section. Thats completely different from "cluttered". Too much choice perhaps...
