Tbh I was kinda expecting something a bit more flashy, something more impressive, but hey, lets hope you can set up your own personal background like on the PSP ^^

Running an interface like this on Cell is like asking a Truck driver to deliver a letter for you. Changing backgrounds... etc would be trivial to achieve, but its not worth making it too complicated.

The Console is primarily aimed at people who want to use it as a home entertainment system and so the interface has to be kept simple. Id imagine hardcore users would have an option to boot into Linux Mode and do a lot more with the System.
 
The Cell is indeed very powerful but it’s a real Pain in the A@# to program. Microsoft make it very easy for developers with great high level tools to program the Xbox so it’s a lot easier system to develop on. The Cell is more powerful but the Programmer has to do a lot more work to make the Game multi-threaded. The programmer has to decide what tasks to allocate to each of the 7 SPUs including complex Physics. Some Programmers get a buzz out of the challenge and others complain that its too much hassle.

If anyone wants an insight on Cell development have a look at Warhawk ‘Behind the Scenes’ at : http://www.us.playstation.com/Content/OGS/GMID-004/Site/default.aspx


BTW someone has already registered a domain called ps3backgrounds.com!

There are lot of PS3 interface Videos floating around on the Net you would probably find one which would show the Background menu option.
