For those gamers that want to check out the Playstation 3 interface, a video featuring a direct feed has been placed online. IGN got permission from Sony to delve into the video, and featured it on their weekly podcast. The interface clearly owes a lot to the PSP in terms of the look at feel, and at the current time could best be described as “minimalist.” From the video and audio options, it looks like full HDMI support is in place, and the 1080p resolution is a selectable video option. Online friend management is also sparse and it is unclear how much this will change before the console release. In-game, the dashboard acts very similarly to the Xbox 360; pressing the Playstation 3 button brings up the console, which is transparent rather than a side overlay like in the Xbox 360.
