And ads are conspicuously absent. Wonder how much of the screen real estate they plan on using to sell me useless shit. They seem to be keeping that aspect of the UI secret.

*which is shit, overly complex and inconsistent. Hopefully Sony will sort that out in a while too.

Just screams: "Hi there, I'm a giant Douche, please to meet you!"
I like the sleek new look for the most part, but hate the avatars. I hope I can either not use one, or make one that doesn't have some hot, sexy, and sleek look.
I mean it would be pretty awesome if I could make mine look like a hobo... or a king.... maybe a king of hobos? Yeah that would be ok by me.

Yeah yeah I know GFW Live sucks but I am tired of the mish mash of PC apps. I want my PC games to use Steam (i.e. Steamworks if you want to get technical) or GFW Live.
I want voice, friends list, server list, achievements seamlessly integrated into the game. I am tired of having a plethora of IDs and Passwords to game on the PC: Steam, GFW Live, Gamespy, EA's service, Battle.net, Relic Online, Xfire, Teamspeak, Vent, etc.

If its responsive and smooth then I'm happy.
What happens to purchased themes for the current dash? I'd be annoyed if I had paid for one recently only for it to suddenly stop working when this drops.
