    PS3 Themes

    -

    We all know the PS3 allows us to change the themes on the XMB (XrossMediaBar, PS3 user interface) and customize it however we want. This is a feature that was introduced on PS3 firmware update 2.00. Later on, with PS3 firmware update 3.0, Sony improved the theme feature by introducing dynamic themes, which are themes with an animated background.

    Unfortunately, most dynamic themes are too costly on the PlayStation Store, they are not free. If you want to download even better and free static or dynamic PS3 themes, the best thing to do is to download them from the internet. Here are a few you can obtain with a few clicks…
