I was impressed with how well the 360 was deisgned compared to the old one.
Currently the PS3 uses an entire Cell unit to power its dashboard, and developers have been told to take this into account when developing their games. Makes you wonder what exactly Sony are doing that they need something that resource hungry.
Probably something to make an impression on Antony, who seems to be their demographic with PS3. I'm really impressed with 360's Dash, the ammount of effort that went into the design is obvious the minute you start playing with it.
Designing the dashboard or desktop, Microsoft explored many iterations with an international staff to get the design right. They were only permitted 4 MBs in which to design the dashboard, which uses 450 total screens, compared to the Xbox's 45 (the first system also had 250 MBs to use, in comparison).
