Those who have purchased all 5 Fallout 3 expansions should be getting emails soon notifying them that their new theme is available for download. I thought I would give you guys a preview of the new theme. Overall it is visually a nice theme and is currently replacing my Halo 3 theme (sorry Halo fans).
Yesterday the guys over at Bethesda threw up this screenshot and a little bit of knowledge. Bethsoft is dropping a premium theme for Fallout 3 thanks to a few artists throwing down a lot of effort. If you are a fan of the wasteland you can make your NXE look like a bomb dropped on it for a mere 240 MS buckaroos. If you are a REAL Fallout 3 fanboy and buy all the DLC / expansion packs (or whatever you kids are calling them these days) before 22-Sept, you can get this theme for FREE! Free is great, but it comes at the price of 5 more adventures in the wasteland which translates to many many many more hours of Fallout… almost too much for me to bear, but I’ll try anyway. Kudos to Bethesda for getting Microsoft to give something away for free! Sort of anyway.
Who doesn’t like free shit? Put your hands down, people. Everyone does. Sony is giving away a virtual cornucopia of Resistance content later today on the PlayStation Store, so get ready.
A couple of Resistance 2 premium themes with multiple wallpapers each are making their way to a PS3 near you, all for free. Also, every map pack for the original Resistance: Fall of Man will be made available at no charge. If you still have the original and never picked them up, why not grab them and go back in time. Finally, a new trailer for the game is coming out. Bryan Intihar, Insomniac’s Community Manager, says it’s the best one and his favorite for the game. I’ll make my own decision once I see it in HD on my TV later today.
So, PS3 gamers out there, it looks like today will shape up to be a pretty decent update on the PlayStation Store. We’ll have the full details for you later. Stay tuned.
Just when you thought it was safe, Sony drops a hammer. Starting tomorrow on the PlayStation Store, you’ll be able to get some “Premium Themes” that you get to spend money on. Haven’t we established that paying for themes and avatars is a just plain dumb?
The new Premium Themes will have previews so you know what you’re getting. But, seriously, who’s paying for this stuff? I’ll stick to the free themes or just roll my own wallpaper, thank you very much. See that premium theme pic up there? That’s what paying for this type of shit makes me want to do.
Are you going to buy any of these? Please tell me no. Please.
It’s been brought to my attention that the site that was hosting our PS3 theme went under. Pity. So now, I’m hosting it here for you. We’ve got a PS3 theme, two PS3 wallpapers two PSP wallpapers. There’s also two wallpapers for your computer (1680 x 1050). Hit the links to grab them and feel free to spread them around

Big thanks to Shawn over at PS3 Theme Designs for hooking us up with a killer PS Theme. You can see the preview above. The theme features some exclusive icons and two wallpapers which will be randomly selected whenever you load the XMB.
You can download the theme here.
Let me know if anyone’s interested and I’ll put up the the wallpapers for download in widescreen format.
Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 now offer users the ability to buy, download, or customize their Dashboard/XMB themes in some way. But whose implementation is better? We decided to analyze the ins and outs of customizing your theme on both systems and see who comes out on top.
Most themes on the Xbox 360 have to be purchased from the Xbox Live Marketplace for 150 Microsoft Points (almost $2). You can, however, use your own picture for the theme background. The caveat here is that only one picture can be used for every Blade in the Dashboard. Past that, you can customize the Blade Trim with 3 settings and also use the Xbox Live Vision Camera for a watermarked background of you playing your Xbox 360.
The PS3 introduced it’s themes system in firmware update v2.00. Before the themes, you had the ability to set a custom wallpaper. Theming takes this to the next level. You can now create your own custom icons, fonts and colors for pop-up indicators. Sony has provided tools and documentation for any user to create their own themes.
Coming Soon!
