This thread should be stickied....

has anyone tried the new themes for the XMB.... I like the new one it comes with, can't remember name... the ones downloadable of the PSN are average, the nature, pink, and pixel ones.... but the airlight one or whatever it's called is pretty cool... especially with one of the cod4 backgrounds.... I'm glad they allowed brightness adjustments because any picture you put up and even the PSN ones were always so bright and it was hard to see the icons... its pretty cool how they have it now... i'll upload a pic soon

Loved the new Uncharted demo. Adding it on my wishlist...

Haven't gotten any of the new themes yet, but that's likely to change in the near future.

the airbrush one is good as long as you don't keep the background it comes with...

I see what you mean. It definitely looks a bit too bright in relation to the actual interface. That's why I kind of like some of the darker themes.

You can adjust the brightness of the background though...

The brightness adjuster is rather helpful. I had kept the default background just because most of the time you couldn't see th icons on the bright background. They'll hopefully keep releasing different themes in the store. Probably should be some game based one's eventually.

I really don't mind what my background looks like, because I only see it when I'm about to install an update.

Anyone else pick up Ratatouille on Blu-ray? This is by far the most eye-popping HD experience I've ever seen. Yum!!!

Looks really good.

Looks like Bioshock should be coming in Spring, if this story is valid.

Let's wait for confirmation from TakeTwo or Irrational before passing judgment. These sorts of rumors have surfaced before, and while this one is somewhat stronger than the others, it's still just a rumor.
