was hoping for Sony to do something ala Microsoft, but it's fine I'll enjoy digging around the os on Friday.

This article reached 420 degrees with only 9 comments? lol how is that ?

yes, i loved the blades...

Aren't you always supporting Microsoft systems? Why would you say any differently if that's the case? Not trying to hound you or anything, but I've seen a lot of your comments and they're always leaning toward Microsoft. (Also not trying to say there's anything wrong with that, other than maybe a bit of bias. Which most people have anyway.)

I'm not saying which is better until I've had personal experience with both. As that's what should determine it, not which company you're more loyal towards. Unless you've messed with both, you cannot give a statement like that.

I'm always supporting my console of choice. Just like I did with my PS2 over Xbox. Sorry PS3 sucked for so long and the 360 was awesome.

Sorry that now that I've seen both UI's in action, the X1 UI crushes the PS4's boring one.

And now we have review scores coming out. Uh oh! Knack averaging a 59.. that's pretty sucky. Killzone at a 73... pretty boring. Have fun.

At the cost of game performance ,eh!sorry but no thanks.I have to admit it does look appealing to the eyes visually

not really i fucking hate having ads on my UI

It will be interesting to see them both at work. I feel like XBox's OS is pushing voice commands more so than the controller navigation, which has me a little skeptical that it will be much different from trying Windows 8 with a mouse.

I really did like the XMB (minus load times), especially before they started adding too many things. Maybe the touchpad could add some interesting integration too later on.

unless Microsoft does it than its not business right @frostypants

That idea might have been a good idea in the 90's when there was no internet and no social media.

Today we have Youtube, social media, etc so that developers can show us the games and judge for ourselves.

Also, what does giving journalist these awesome gifts and stuff has to do with passing along the information? I think is unfair that the consumer which pay for the product can't get those things and can't see the games, etc.

Although it seems that it won't ever change.

Sadly it wont ever change I believe. Its not just the gaming industry its everything. Celebrities get free clothes all the time, to show them off so that consumers want to buy them. People that make millions get free stuff. Its crazy.

i honestly think it's because the UI is not that impressive to show off. They could do a in-depth walkthrough of it's features but what would they show; how to boot up a game? 3 days before launch and no one knows really anything about the UI and features? thats interesting

Actually it's because Sony wants consumers to experience it first hand. Watch the in depth interview yushida just did. He said at soy they don't want any what's in the box or reveal videos because they want the gamers to experience it first hand

Why are people so damn negative all the time. It comes out in few days and we all get to play with it and experience and good and the bad but at least nothing won't be spoiled

This is not towards you Blaze:

In general I wish more people would actually stay calm till we actually get some of these products in our hand to really mess around and test for ourself

Sony has done everything right so far so I would imagine the UI won't be an issue

I think, Sony is going to toute their advantages, not their weakness.

So Sony will trump 1080p as they have, and MS will continue to tout their features, interface and community.

Each console has their strengths AND WEAKNESSES!

I don't get how Microsoft's focus would keep Sony from demoing their UI.

If it's less of a focus, and more striaght forward, n simple - fine. But SHOW IT!

So the answer is to ban him? The point is we have seen the PS4's OS though not final it looks great and runs fine. And I am just talking about the old builds.
