NOTICE: This article is getting pretty old and no longer own a PS3 anymore, I'm now a strictly PC gamer. This may or may not be relevant anymore but feel free to use it for your reference.
Tired of that old boring Playstation theme? It's easy to spice it up with something new and exciting. Don't be fooled into buying the snazzy premium themes in the Playstation Store, you can get just as good (if not better) themes on the web for free.
What you'll need:
- Playstation 3
- Computer with internet
- Removable media that is compatible with your Playstation such as a flash drive or a portable hard drive (an iPod could work).

Step 1: Load up your trusty (or not so trusty) web browser
If you're looking to change your theme you'll first have to find a theme to replace it with! Keep in mind that some themes are of much better quality then others. If you just so happen to get a broken theme try to look for another one that's working.
Good websites to find new themes include:
http://www.bestps3themes.com/
http://www.ps3-themes.com/
http://www.psu.com/themes.php
http://www.ps3vault.com/ps3-themes
http://ps3themes.de/ (Deutsch)
When you find some themes you like create a folder inside your removable media named PS33 (without the quotes) and make a subfolder named THEME within that folder. Now drag and drop the theme you downloaded (it should be .p3t) into the THEME subfolder.

Step 2: Copy your theme to your Playstation 3
Plug your removable media into the Playstation. On the Main Menu go to Settings > Theme Settings > [Theme] > select [Install]. Now select the theme that was saved on your removable media and it will be installed and can now be selected to become your current Playstation theme.
Step 3: Extra Tips
- If you do not own any sort of removable media, have no fear! You can download themes directly to the Playstation HDD by downloading themes using the built in web browser. Once the theme has been downloaded it will automatically show up on your theme list, is that convenient or what?
- A Playstation "theme" is composed of mainly two things, a background and icons. If you dislike the background on a theme but you enjoy the icons you can easily change the background to any image you'd like.
- If a background is very bright and you have problems seeing the text try changing the brightness in the theme menu.
Enjoy your new themes!
