Videos: More Dynamic Themes for PlayStation 3 Showcased

if they make a good GT5 one I'll for sure buy it!

I want a MW2, GoW3, and a... hell even a MGS4 one maybe with the final fighting scene?

I'd buy a few of these Sony just needs to get smart and make them for every blockbuster title.

The Motorstorm is really stylish and the menu icons match in perfectly with the background.

But do you have to not move around on the menu in order for the animation in the background to keep going?

I totally agree mate.. You took the words right out my mouth... :tup:

with the wipe out one the animation continues in the back ground as you move about, it even has an opening animation of the ship coming up, which is spoilt a bit since sony decided to send you to "whats new" section on boot up (which ofcourse has a blue background)

grab the wipeout one its free (on the uk psn any way)

ah man a Mech Warrior one would be fantastic (but why 2? aint it up to 4 or 5 now?)

I think "MW2" refers to Modern Warfare 2. Which would be awesome to see.

i like the wipeout theme, its pretty kool.

Since some of the themes are avalible to download on this forum... How do you get it on the PS3 since it's a pkg file?

You can't at the moment... hopefully there will be a way in the future, but right now the ones available here are just for archival purposes sadly. :wonky:

Ok, I will keep in the Archives then... And, thank you for the prompt response.

I feel they should have came out with a popular game theme like FF7 or Halo first.

ah ...i feel a bit dumb now lol though MW will always mean Mech Warrior to me and COD will always be call of duty modern warfare but i think thats just me showing my age, why is there no real decent mech games on the ps3 :( (offtopic i know but while on subject of missing genres, why oh why is there no light gun games) since thats offtopic then answers only on the back of a postcard or in a pm lol!

i like the look, color, and overall concept for the videos. It shows a lot of potential..

I also would like to see some themes from manufacturers. IE Honda, Ferrari, Yamaha etc. And also maybe some movie themed animations. I know they would only be sony movies though.

Hi All,

Well since reading this post and checking out the others, I have tried everything from using PS3 ProxyServer, to whatever... Nothing worked.

But I did find a way to install them... Of course it will be a bit long, but for those of you who want to try out the free ones then just try the following:

1) When in your PS3, just create a new user (e.g. UK or Japan)
2) Once created login to the new user account (in this case we will use the UK a/c), and access your PSN menu.
3) You will find that you need to create a new account.
4) Do so but select the country as UK and of course you will need to have a separate User id and a different email address, or you will be rejected and requested to supply a different one.
5) the address can be bogus, as I used.
6) Once created just login and download/install the free Wipeout theme.
7) Once installed, you do not need to keep the new PS3 user a/c, you may deleted if you wish, or keep it till the next freebie comes around.

For AFRIKA and the Japan account be careful as when you create an account the steps will be mostly in Japanese text. If you remember the UK steps, you can go around this, and again a bogus addy is fine.

I have installed both, and they both look good.

Cheers,
thb3x.

I agree, that theme is pretty sick!!

Very nice dynamic themes, i like ps3 so much <3

I guess it's just personal taste.. I'd find those animated backgrounds distracting and much prefer the classic look even to the default twinkly stars in 3.0.

I'm damn gutted! I only saw last night the dynamic theme for Afrika, went to go and download it, and the bloody ting isnt free anymore. :(

Ive got the PKG file but no way of installing it, tried using the proxy server and using a game demo to install it but wouldn't work. It looks so slick man! :p
