Today on the PlayStation Store, European games have a little surprise waiting for them. A WipEout HD dynamic XMB theme is available to download for free due to SCEE’s delay in releasing dynamic themes last week. You can also purchase the LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm dynamic themes from the PlayStation Store. Finally, everyone who’s updated to Firmware 3.00 can enjoy the dynamic theme for free.

PlayStation.Blog post:

“I’m pleased to say that this week we have available for you three new dynamic themes from the worlds of LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm and WipEout HD. The added bonus for you all is that the WipEout HD theme is absolutely free!

Whilst we’re on the subject of themes, I just wanted to clarify that we will be getting more dynamic themes (utilising the new animated features) in the future, as well as continuing to roll out the newly available premium themes. Premium themes are static themes, but have been created to a higher standard (and some will utilise additional sound files) and therefore are billable. However, we are not stopping the release of free themes, so please don’t worry that free themes will no longer be available, as this will not be the case.”
