Oh? I really liked Xbox 360's "blades" dashboard UI. It was quite fast, and was quite simple. On every screen, there's a clear indication of what your controller buttons do, making it really quick to get around in. Some video of the dashboard in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P5gTvXct30

The blades UI was quick, but I remember so many slow loads when pressing the Xbox button and pulling up the system menu.

But I do agree, the blades UI design-wise was pretty good and achieved far more information density than the crossbar PlayStation UI. But when in-game I wouldn't describe any of the UI as speedy.

I dunno what UI the 360 had by the time I got one (maybe after the One was out? Or just a little before) but 90% of every screen is ads.

The 360 dashboard went through many variations and it generally got worse over time. The blades, which is what the console launched with, were excellent if not a bit simplistic.
