"This is by no means an official announcement from Sony or anything to that nature. But it doesn't mean that it isn't one hell of an idea from a friend of mine that has been working on this idea for quite some time. His name is Azuske, and the idea is relatively simple. We already can fully customize how our icons look within the themes that we implement, but what about a fully customizable user interface? Give the user complete control over what they want as an interface. This would not only create more customization available to the user, but it would give PS3 owners more of a sense of ownership. The full discussion and pics follow:"

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
Basically he wants the XMB to have full appearance mods. Like changing the theme to 3D, rearrange stuff the way you want them, mod the looks.
Not a bad idea. I like that 3D psp look.
its really cool but knowing sonw i think they will never do that
Instead of being forced into a new interface but I doubt it'll happen.
Sony just needs to give us more in-game xmb features, let us use our custom xmb while in-game, and make our gamer cards load faster. They load way too slow. It would also be nice if they added something like this.

Looks a lot cleaner.
This even looks better.

But I don't think people with SDTVs would be able to read that.
should let us do it, the first and second concept looks great.
And a pretty cool idea.
