Very pretty... but awkward when you get to the deeper layers. The new PSN store is good though. The Wii interface is functional, but slow and ugly.

I'm pretty much used to using the analog stick for everything on the PS3 and 360 now so I don't really notice that the dpad is shonky other than if I'm forced to use it in a game. That said... not sure where the dashboard comes into all of this. ;) Yeah, that’s fair enough.

But every now and again I like to send a message off, just to say when I'm available to play, for example. And it's a frustrating experience. @kasai Which dpad are they comparing it to? ANY, really. Nothing beats the PlayStation dpad for navigating menu's, although it's not as good as the Nintendo dpad for diagonals. The 360's dpad is utterly useless, it's easily the weakest area of an otherwise excellent controller. @Psycho

It does the job but its only good for menu's and weapon changes. See I don’t see what people moan about when it comes to D-Pad what the heck godly D-pad are they comparing it too.

Well, except on the 360, where the dpad is so shit, you have to use the analog stick. Trying to write a message to someone using the 360's on-screen keyboard is an absolute pain in the arse, regardless of whether you use the dpad or stick. I wish it was as responsive as the PS3's XMB.
