As of November 8th last year, Playstation 3 users are able to use custom themes for the PS3 interface. Many users on deviantART have already started creating their own themes for the PS3, and quite a bit is uploaded to the Application Interfaces section. And since there are a lot of great Playstation 3 themes - most of them will be pretty hard to find at the moment, since there is no specific PS3 section on deviantART - I thought I would feature some of them in this news article.

As a general desideratum to the deviantART crew, I think many users would be grateful if it were to be considered putting up a Playstation 3 Custom Interfaces category for those awesome new themes. If you would like to discuss the matter, there is a forum thread for it. Now over to the featured themes.

How do you install the themes? First of all, you need the 2.0 version of the firmware, only then can you use a custom theme. ~Cleesox gives a good explanation on how to install the themes:

to install the file on your ps3 you get yourself an usb-drive (or some other memory device usable by ps3) and create the folders PS3/THEME and add the file into the THEME folder.

then pop the memory device into your ps3 and go to theme settings and select install from the top and your device should show up.

Now go stir things up!
