One of the nice features of the Playstation 3 is the XMB (Xross Media Bar) that you can work from to fully utilize the capabilities of your PS3. This new addition from the older PS2 browser allows you to access many new aspects made to the console. Whether it’s content you downloaded, access to the internet, talking with friends, all this is capable from the XMB. Like a desktop for the computer the XMB is considered a graphics user interface and is fully customizable in the settings. Most people who own a Playstation 3 actually know very little about the XMB.
One of the hidden perks about the XMB is that it allows for additional operating systems to be installed on the hard disk. While this generally isn’t a feature most users of the PS3 would acclaim, it’s an indicator to understanding that the PS3 is very similar to a computer. In fact, it is a computer! A computer, Blu-Ray player and PS3 all in one. Really making it worth the expensive price. But just like a computer your PS3 and its XMB are not immune to errors. If you are noticing errors with your XMB check here for help with Playstation 3 repairs.
One of the things that can affect the XMB of your Playstation is drop or fall damage. Keeping your PS3 in a safe location is more important than most people think.
