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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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).
