    yes...the fury menu and animation system is far superior to the HD one... i like them both but the fury interface REALLY reflects what its all about.

    The menu's colors and backgrounds are amazing.

    I really liked the new music when I first heard it, I don't know if I'll get sick of it or not though.

    I think the Fury theme fits perfectly, it's dark and sinister The music from the old menu had me so fed up towards the end that I usually put my tv on "mute" while I was looking for races to join. I still think a custom menu music option would be very nice in the future Or the ability to turn it off

    I like the Fury layout as well, and it's just generally nice to see something new.

    Only, my TV doesn't like the Fury menu. Because of the wide, black borders it thinks it's recieveing a 4:3 image and after 20 seconds activates the screen protection. So I get nice, grey curtains on both sides that only go away once the race starts

    Cheers

    It is a Pioneer 5090 connected to the PS via HDMI. The TV is set to automagically detect the incoming signal and in case of a 4:3 signal activate the side-protection to prevent uneven wear.

    As far as I can tell the menu is sized so it will fit inside a 4:3 picture. The loading screen is slightly wider, but it isn't enough for the TV to detect. As soon as I get inside the race, the screen detects it correctly and the whole picture is shown.

    It isn't a major problem though. I can force the TV to show a 16:9 picture, whatever the input, and with a programmable remote it's really just adding an extra command to the "Play Playstation" button

    I love the Fury menus, and I like the background music too, but I really like the fact that you can revert to the HD-style menu too.

    That sounds odd - many HDTVs when connected to something via HDMI which is pumping out an HD res (like 720p. 1080i or 1080p) will force 16:9 aspect and won't let you alter it (my Hitachi certainly does) - sounds like yours is one of the few that allows control...

    Oh, it's showing a 1080p picture in 16:9 as such, but since there's only colour/movement within the 4:3 frame it activates the screenprotection. It may be caused by a bit over-agressive screenprotection, but I can only turn it on or off.

    It was blanket turned it on, since about half the TV channels I watch still broadcast in 4:3. Now, when I switch to the PS, it is forced in 16:9 (programmable remotes FTW!)

    I love the new menus and sounds, loved the old one too.

    I think the new one is more reminiscent of an aggressive sport as WipEout undoubtedly is.
