The best part about a brand new console is getting to grips with the user interface. With the PlayStation 4 still four weeks away, though, we figured that you'd appreciate this video of the folks from French website Gamekyo doing just that. The quality isn't the greatest, but the clip shows a trio of lucky journalists fiddling with the system's share button, perusing a user profile, and even booting up the platform's web browser.
Perhaps most impressive is how fast it runs – especially when you’re moving between the game and the dashboard. If you’re used to brewing up a cup of tea while navigating the XMB, then you may soon find yourself with a raging thirst, because the next generation console’s hub is faster than the Flash. Skip through the footage below to get a good look at the system in action, and don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments section.
Update: Looks like the Sony ninjas have put an end to our fun prematurely, as the video has promptly been pulled. We'll look for a mirror, but we're guessing that the platform holder doesn't want you to see any of this stuff until launch day. Boo!

Good lord, a whole hour? Let's do this.
The video is private, damn luck ._.
@WCamicase @ShogunRok Yeah, looks like it's been pulled already. I'll look for a mirror, but it seems like Sony wasn't too happy this getting out. That was fun for the five minutes it lasted.
Dumb move Sony - people are hyped to see!
I understand the anxiety, but somehow I miss the time when everyone got to discover this kind of thing by themselves. It's so much more fun to explore and get to know what a new system can offer than watch a video about it on You Tube. Nowadays everything is so hyperanalysed before you get your hands on it that some of the magic gets lost in the process, IMHO.
@fchinaski This!
Thats why I try to stay clear of most previews about whatever product/game Im planning to get!

Here ya go
@fchinaski I completely agree with you. That's one of the biggest problems with the internet, it just kills the magic. Things are so easy to come by nowadays it kills the sense of surprise. This was never a issue in the 90's because the internet wasn't as big as it is now. The Super Nintendo and Sega Genisis were two great consoles but could you imagine throwing the internet in the mix? People probably would've dogged them out and the end result would be less memorable.
wow, the UI looks crap to be honest.
@redd214 Great! Thanks for posting!
