"Free PS3 Dynamic Themes, it's not a big list, but here it is anyway.
You'll need a UK PSN account to access two them."

[Blaze929]

they all should be free period. i want the heavy rain theme so bad...but not $3 bad for something only I can see. Why cant we just make custom ones.

[Megaton]

I think it was said that you need a dev kit to make dynamic themes.

[-Alpha]

yeah, dynamic themes are pretty cool but it's such a nickel and dime scheme.

I'm waiting for community dynamic themes if it's at all possible. I'm pleasantly surprised that custom themes are attainable but dynamic themes are so awesome.

[DarkTower805]

Xiphos is correct, you need a PS3 dev kit to make dynamic themes.

[SilentNegotiator]

I agree that $3 is a bit much, but I disagree that we're "entitled", or whatever, to have them for "free"

[TheDudeAbides]

im not paying for no theme. period.

i doubt there is a necessary need for a dev kit, they simply know there will be tons of premium quality free themes, so they don't allow it

edit// themes, home gear, etc. should be unlockable in example after getting platinum

[Noob]

But developers have stated that they don't profit off of these themes at all.

[DarkTower805]

The devs haven't made any money on dynamic themes because so far the majority have sucked ass fumes. If they started to time dynamic themes and avatars with the release of the games much profit can be made off of hype alone. I would have spent alot of money on Uncharted dynamic themes and avatars had they been available, but sadly they weren't.

Come on now, it's only a slightly animated background and icons. How much work would it require an expert animator/designer to do for that? I don't think much.

[A Cupcake for Gabe]

Hope to see a site where there are user created dynamic themes, like you can get themes from the PSN Browser on various ps3 theme sites.

When I saw the Afrika dynamic theme for $2.99 on the US store, the exact same Afrika theme which I got for free on my JPN account. I love the dynamic themes and they look great, just wished they were cheaper.

$1 would be a perfect price and I'd buy at least 2-3 immediately

[Persistantthug]

Oh well. :(

[Pillage05]

It'd be cool if you would get a free dynamic theme with every game purchase...like you buy heavy rain so you get the heavy rain dynamic theme. Or an idea could be you get the dynamic theme free when you platinum a game. That would be cool.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

I just don't understand why people always think everything Sony should be free. Microsoft charges for themes and had an upgrade of the look with the old paid themes being obsolete (with no users complaining). Companies have to make money somehow?

[ravinash]

They should charge to the value of the product they are selling.
£3 is a bit much for an animated wall paper.

If it were £1, then I probably would have brough 3 times as many. at this cost I'm sure they are turning more people away than what they are making at the higher cost.
I would pay £3 for a good theme, but the problem is you don't get to see it before you buy it and sometimes the theme isn't as good as you hoped.
If this is the case then I think a lower cost will mean you haven't lost much so your willing to come back and try another one.

[garos82]

no idea why you are getting disagrees but you hit the nail with that comment.

getting platinum in games that only gives "the honour" of getting a platinum is pointless to me. reward me with some home items/wallpapers/dynamic themes and im pretty sure id attempt many more platinums than the fat zero i currently have :)
agree 100% + bubbles

[Godmars290]

So all I have to do to get the GOW3 theme is buy a Slurpee?

[SnuggleBandit]

six slurpees i think

[plstcsldgr]

2 large slurpees which is all of 3 bucks. but you get slurpees.

[Gothdom]

I live in Quebec Canada, we don't have 7-11's... :(

if anyone has an extra code could you PM it to me

[pimpmaster]

oh noes, you live in canada and theres no 7-11s what ever will you do?? how bout pay 3$ for the theme cheapskate.

[Gothdom]

Unlike you, if there was a local promotion and someone from elsewhere in the world would like to benefit from it, I'd be helping him, like I did so many times.

Not everyone is selfish like you.

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

The dynamic theme for GoW3 is worth 6 points. I bought a medium slurpee. It's 3 points each medium cup and I believe 4 points for a large.

By the way, I suggest you guys to double your slurpee cups. That's what I did, so I got 6 points all together for the price of 1, :P

[Cyb3r]

Website wont load for me :(

[peeps]

had the wipeout 1 for ages (just cus it's free lol)

i really like the heavy rain theme but cba paying for it, but recently realised the HMV are offering the limited edition for the same price as regular, which includes the theme amongst other stuff

[Raoh]

i bought the heavy rain dynamic theme. i love it. its a silly purchase sure, but its looks so cool with the dark environment and the rain falling across the screen.

this will probably be the only dynamic theme i ever buy though..

[Higaneer]

N4G really should be checking the website and see if it works before posting.

[evilmonkey501]

QUIT working is because after n4g post it, it gets flooded by peeps like you and I. Their server simply cannot handle the amount of traffic it gets from us.

[monkey602]

I want the South Park theme but I'm not comfortable with spending 3euro on one.

I've had the Afrika theme on ever since it went free on the JP Store

[ikral]

Wipeout and Motorstorm AE are available for ages, if yuo have Japan acc yuo get Africa free.

[terrorofdeath]

This website seems odd...ps3dynamicthemes.co.uk
Sounds a bit like a scam...?

[xg-ei8ht]

Truthfully i want a 720/1080p Fishtank with the option of having whatever type fish you want swimming around, with custom tanks etc.

Screensaver.

[Parapraxis]

That would be pretty cool.

Also...a yule log of the holidays LOL.

[evilmonkey501]

Its not a theme though...its a pseye game and it responds to you feeding the fish, etc.

http://www.makeyougohmm.com...

[legendkilla]

check out Auqatopia its for the PSEye & PS3, its a fish tank with a few cool fish but you cant add more or customize it at all :(

[washingmachine]

dynamic themes could be so much more than wot they are,but they just dont seem to put alot of thought into them. ive seen more interesting gifs lol

[dazbobaby]

Sorry everyone, looks like the webserver has completely crashed. I'm not sure why, I dont think it's trafffic volume.

@terrorofdeath, there's nothing strange about it, the entire website is based on dynamic themes and nothing else.
There are images of themes in development (gravity crash) and an interview with KnightManProductions - an artist for Disruptive Publishers, they make static themes but are experimenting with dynamic themes.
Also, is a list of every dynamic theme available with video's.
Another thing to watch out for, BluRay movies, some will have dynamic themes on them - Zombieland for one (unconfirmed).

[dazbobaby]

@evilmonkey501 is right, I've just been talking to the host, and the traffic brought the server to it's knees.
It was receiving over 1000 simultaneous hits constantly, the adaptive firewall just started banning everyone thinking it was a DDoS attack.
The database was also consuming over 500mb of ram - trust me, A VERY large amount of memory for a post thats only a few kilobytes.
Everything has now been cleared up though.
So once again, my apologies for the inconvenience.

[CobraKai]

These should be a given with collector edition games!!

[Darrius Cole]

Useful information.

I will have to remember where to find these.

[reaferfore20]

Agreed, if only 7-11's around here sold/rented videogames. They don't even have slurpees, just ICY drinks. So I'm guessing they don't have the GOW3 theme either.

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

Since when MAG had a collector's edition??

[kassatsu]

It does in the EU

[1800GETOWNED]

i had these already a long time ago (free). so for someone to post this as news is just dumb. this is old.

[likedamaster]

Yeah, they're pretty awesome.

[Drac]

Picked up the WipeoutHD one ages ago, as it free in NZ as well, will have see if any others are as well.

But this does seem a little old, must be slow month.

[unchartedgoty]

i walked today about a mile to 7 eleven and got a slushy and its called krato's fury...its cherry and lime. you get the code on the cup and go to slurpie.com and enter the code and put the code from slurpie.com and enter the code on psn...its funny, the kids were gettig out of school and there were like 7-10 kids getting krato's fury.

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

that Sony haven't produced two of their biggest AAA 2009 titles as dynamic themes - namely Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2.
A Nathan Drake action piece - especially in slow motion - would look sensational. As for Kz2, how about utilising ' Behind the Bullet'? I'd buy both in a heartbeat.

[RedSoakedSponge]

I didnt even know there was a collectors edition :( i would have bought it! Anyone know of any MAG theme codes they dont want? Ill love you long time.

[Sickr]

Nice. Can't beat free stuff : )

[SacredWizard]

Works fine for me (link).

$3 is nothing. I'll def get one.

[blakstarz]

well, I didn't know about this so thanks to the poster for this, so to the nerds whining about this is old....shut the hell up. Maybe some people didn't know this, not everyone is glued to the internet to catch everything....geez!

[The Hunter]

No problem, mate ;)
