The more I see of this UI, the more uninspired it looks. Big blue cubes for Internet, and other features. They clash with the game related blocks. Also, the time it takes for that data to load in is a bit much.
I like how it remembers what other app you were last on when you suspend the game, unlike Vita - will make it a lot easier to flick between game and - say - a guide or a neogaf thread

They just ripped it out of their newer Bravia TV's and put it into the PS4. And this is a good thing, because navigating through those TV's is incredibly easy and fast.
Yup same here.A good look at some of the deeper menus, but we really need a more comprehensive video.
It looks incredibly slick and responsive though.
It looks so basic next to Xbox One, but maybe that will be interesting in a year's time, when many here have both.
Good UI, I prefer the less-is-more approach.
I love the PS4 but that UI is so, so basic and bland.
Not gonna lie, this looks cack compared to xbox one....Just have to live with it I guess.
What are the advantages of Xbox One UI other than Snap, TV Guide and Voice Commands.
Your question is basically "what are the advantages aside from the advantages?"

The Xbox One does have a more interesting looking UI compared to the PS4 by quite a margin. As long as the PS4's is fast and functional, I'll be happy. But after that Xbox One video, this looks super basic.

Looks nice, very fast compared with XMB. Looks like game "activity" data is still sluggish though.
The PS4 is such a sleek and sexy looking console. So what happened to the UI, it looks terrible.
Sure you can say less is more, but it doesn't hurt to be beautiful too.
Quite surprised by the negativity in here. I think functionally it looks really good. I love the idea of having that top bar which gets you access to all your community aspects, and the bottom bar having your games. I agree that the Knack Live Area takes a few seconds too long to load, but that may be an Internet connection issue. We won't know until the system's in the wild.
My only real concern is how it's going to look when you have lots of games. I have over 100 titles on my PS3 hard drive right now, and intend to do a similar amount of gaming on my PS4. Hopefully there's an easy way to categorise them on the next-gen machine.
EDIT: Also, I think it's pretty impressive how quickly it jumps back into Knack. It's instantaneous.
Yup. I'm all for fast and simple.
The problem is that this is fast, simple, and kinda ugly. The big blue icons next to the game icons just looks like amateur design.
The fact that the entire background is bright blue and you're given no option to change that, makes it even worse.
who said you can't change the background?
