By now everybody knows one of the key features in the recent 3.0 firmware update is the ability to have ‘Dynamic Themes’ but unfortunately a combination of late submission, eight different languages and thirteen currencies meant that Sony’s European customers missed out on having any themes to download in last week’s launch.

But thanks to a comment on the EU Blog we know that this week we thankfully will be able to take advantage of the new feature:  “In the meantime”, says the reply, “I hope you guys will enjoy the Dynamic Themes that will be available from the Store later today. There’s one each for MotorStorm & LittleBigPlanet and by way of a small thank you for having to wait that little bit longer, a fantastic Wipeout HD Fury theme that will be available to you for FREE.”

So there we have it, three premium dynamic themes coming in the store update later and one of them free of charge, thanks to last week’s delays.

  1. kl. lets hope the wipeout theme dosen’t cause fits! lol. thats all we need


  2. Ok.. I’m still happy with the Zebra’s but.. I will check the Wipe theme Out..


    • I can imagine this theme will look fantastic.


      • Same here, I’m optimistic about it. But then again… WHY is it free? Does it suck so is given away?
        On the flip-side, it could be an ace theme that Sony are giving away free so more people download it so more people think ‘OMG dynamic themes are amazing, MUST BUY MORE!’
        A mystery indeed. ;)


      • its free because we had to wait an additional week for the premium downloads


  3. Cool!


  4. I’ve always liked the Wipeout themes, so looking forward to it!


  5. That’s cool, a decent means of saying thanks =).


  6. Awesome! Wipeout HD is probably my favourite game of all time. It’s hard, but it’s definately worth investing some time into it.


    • got the plat?


      • No, not quite. It’s the gold trophies I’m struggling with – Elite Campaign Legend, Zone Zeus & Arcade Perfect. Feel like I’ve spent an eternity trying to get to zone 75.


  7. Cool, I want some avatars mostly though


  8. Well, I’m a sucker for dynamic themes so I’ll be getting all 3!


    • same :D


      • got all 3 aswell :D


  9. I can imagine the wipeout dynamic theme being awesome. Will defo be downloading it


  10. Motion sickness here we come !!! ;)


  11. I don’t wish to sound like an ungrateful git, but all the themes should be feckin free.


    • +1 lol


    • Media Molecule take note!


    • It’s not as if Developers are already losing money making these dynamic themes, no way…
      cheapskate


  12. So if we get a free theme for waiting a week, what do we get when hte enevitable next console (or handheld) gets delayed by months, what do we get then?


  13. Yay firmware 3.0 and Yay delays! :-s


  14. WipeOut?
    Yaaaaawn.


    • Wipeout HD is the best thing on the Playstation Store. For the price you can’t fault it to be fair.


  15. Good news = one free Dynamic Theme from SOny because they are complete shits to us Europeans

    Bad News = They wont change the way they work towards European Gamers and plenty more titles/themes will always be later than everyone else


    • The EU store received a bunch of demos before the US recently – DiRT 2, WET, Call of Juarez. The game Battle Tanks also appeared in Europe first. The LBP dynamic theme also works out cheaper on the UK store compared to the US one (£1.59 vs $2.99).


      • Yeah, I was expecting £2.29 or something.


      • im pleased with the pricing :)
