This is the old user interface for the playstation3 -- the new one is similar just more sparkly and in effect makes the rest look a bit more colorful. This is a rather monochromatic example of the interface but no matter what colors used the functions are featured through icons. Simply identified you may notice the photos icon depicted by a camera, music by a musical note, movies by a film strip, games by the ps3 controller, web access through a grid ridden globe, friend access with two faces, settings with a toolbox and finally user selection with a face imprinted on a generic house shape. The functions with in the featured icons would spring up and downward for more specific tasks having to do with a particular icon making visual search almost a strict upward-downward search. With the concern in hierarchy, I think that the ps3 interface keeps everything similar meaning none should be more played with than any of the other features. The one icon you would select would become brighter and spew out the specific features which would glow depending on which you would like to select. I like how simple it is but it might be a bit too simple.image from: http://www.joystiq.com/tag/user-interface/
