0.85 XMB

This is a sub-page of Proto:PlayStation 3.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: What is the single tab under ‘Game’ supposed to be? I can’t tell if it’s a game or a downloaded file.

This article has just been started and needs the article basics added. Help us out and add them.

The prototype XMB is updated from 0.83 and includes some differences.

Differences#

• This version adds three new tabs: Users, Game and Friends.
• There are new navigation sounds.
• The new icons are once again different from the final ones; they still have a mild gradient and feel.
• This version adds three new settings: System Update, System Settings and Date and Time Settings.
• Nothing is shown while on the Users tab; this is likely due to there being no system at the time.

Settings Differences#

• There is only one setting in System Settings > ◯ Button Behaviour. As the name suggests, it toggles between the Japanese and international behavior of the circle button. It was removed from the final XMB.
• Speaking of System Settings, the icon for it has a simplified PS3 console, which is drastically different from the final's simple block.
• Surprisingly, Date and Time settings seems pretty finalised; it's only missing Set Automatically.

Social Differences#

• Sign Up was in the Friends tab instead of having its own tab (PlayStation Network).
• Sign Up had an early icon, which was better suited to the minimalistic feel of the menu instead of it being mostly 3D-esque along with the rest of the PlayStation Network tab.
• Add a Friend and Message Box still show up even if you are not signed in.
• Add a Friend was different from the final icon, having a shadow of a tilted floating head.
