Sony has released high resolution screens (or mock-ups) of the PS4’s user interface show at the PlayStation Meeting last week. The new interface looks similar to the XMB used in newer Sony televisions and also the updated PlayStation Store, with larger icons and a horizontal layout. The new screenshots also show what the user profile and PlayStation Network will look when viewed on other compatible devices, including mobiles and tablets.
The XMB has become a common interface for Sony’s devices, first appearing on the PSX (in Japan) before becoming the standard OS on the PSP and PS3. Sony’s 2013 range of TV sets boast a new, revised version of the same interface.
The US PlayStation Website was updated over the weekend sporting a new look. Among the changes, some interesting information was added to the list of features for the PlayStation 3: Cross-Game Voice Chat. Reading up on the In-Game XMB features, the Friends section states “Talking with friends or other players in the middle of a game is easy. Chat by text or use your headset to voice chat.”

Homebrew game made for firmware 1.5 usually causes corrupted icons to appear under the Games Menu. The corrupted icons can be hidden by simply renaming the folders. This can be done by prefixing __SCE__ and %__SCE__ to the two folders. %__SCE__ should only be used for the game folder containing the % sign. Here is an example: We have two folders, iRShell and iRShell%, these should be renamed to __SCE__iRShell and %__SCE__iRShell, respectively.
To remove your custom wallpaper and return to the default XMB background, simply go to [Settings] > [Theme Settings] > [Wallpaper] and select [Original]. This option will remove your custom wallpaper. If you would like to replace your wallpaper, rather than remove, simply find a photo you want as your wallpaper and press 
to bring the on-screen menu. From the menu, select [Set as Wallpaper].
If you like to restore your original wallpaper, you can simply select [Wallpaper] from the [Theme Settings] menu and your previously stored wallpaper will be used. There is no way to delete the wallpaper from the system, you can only replace it or choose not to use it.
