In case anyone wants to customize their PS4 further.

LittleBigPlanet 3 theme is 2.99
The Order is 1.99

Both are dynamic. The Order's music is very awesome but the theme itself is a bit boring for a dynamic one. The LBP3 sadly has no music (just some background sound effects) but otherwise it's great, the background is a mock up level and the characters run/swoop around.

EDIT: These are in the US store. Don't know what EU has

MercuryLS · Nov 19, 2014

Is there a way to preview these before buying?

Sadly no, which is odd because on PS3 most themes could be previewed or at least had screenshots. I've attached some to help

Americanmushroom · Nov 19, 2014

Gonna buy the LBP one. Had one on the ps3 and i had a big smile when I turned on my PS3 everytime cause a sackboy was smiling at me.

Jotamide · Nov 19, 2014

Vita has like 3 themes. -_-

darkwing · Nov 19, 2014

yup, going for the lbp one

joe2187 · Nov 19, 2014

Thanks for taking pics at least, I'm digging The Order one. Will probably buy it tomorrow.

5 in US, 8 in Japan.

I have to pay for THAT? Come on... make it worth paying for?!

Muchi Muchi Pink · Nov 19, 2014

US or EU?

Edit: US only.

GnawtyDog · Nov 19, 2014

The themes add so much life to the dashboard.... waiting for an uncharted one.

FeiRR · Nov 19, 2014

There's also a Playroom theme (free) I didn't know about. Bought the Order theme as I had some change left. I'd like the LBP (loved it on PS3) but I'd have to get a $10 card for that.

HORRORSHØW · Nov 19, 2014

eh...not impressed with either. let me know when they get a bloodborne theme up there.

Radec · Nov 19, 2014

pretty meh..

So.. are these paid themes the reason they can't enable us to use custom wallpapers on the PS4?

goddamit Sony.

Mike Works · Nov 19, 2014

I think these themes should be free if you buy their respective game. Not that Sony really needs another reason, but it would be added incentive to purchase mutliplatform games for their system.

thisisalan · Nov 19, 2014

Oof, that The Order theme looks super flat. I'll stick with Best Theme.

RedAssedApe · Nov 19, 2014

ugh. these things should be at most like 99 cents a piece. i blame ya'll for buying them lol

flipswitch · Nov 19, 2014

Not available in the AUS PSN store. Maybe they'll show up tomorrow.

Drayco21 · Nov 19, 2014

I still think that these promotional themes should be free. Not being able to preview them either is a joke.

At least the LBP3 theme seems pretty charming.

we just have the three launch ones and the AR bots

are themes "region free" or locked to the account bought on like avatars?

bananafactory · Nov 19, 2014

The Order was worth it for me for the music alone, it's fucking amazing. But yeah it is flat, similar to the Destiny theme I guess. Still 2 or 3 bucks isn't much to me that's what I pay for a coffee

What music plays? I might go for it.

JayEH · Nov 19, 2014

I'm not going to be paying for themes. Why don't they let us use custom ones like the PS3? Custom and paid themes coexisted fine there.

Canis lupus · Nov 19, 2014

Give me the Toro one...

It's an orchestral piece, I presume from the games soundtrack but not sure. Very moody. If you wait someone might upload a youtube vid. I would if I wasn't in bed already haha

mercenar1e · Nov 19, 2014

Did they even try with the order? It doesn't look great.

You can use them on any account. At least free ones.

wapplew · Nov 19, 2014

Still waiting for Infamous SS theme.

Cyborg · Nov 19, 2014

The Order looks amazing!

SolidusDave · Nov 19, 2014

So currently it's like this?

Free:
Squares
Spirals
Paper
PlayRoom

Destiny (US)
CoD (US)

$$:
Toro (Japan)
LBP
The Order

I'm using the Squares one. Nice music and pleasant button sounds. The Spirals one is cool for having also the same color on settings screens etc. but the music is a bit too funky for a menu imo and I'm not a big fan of reds.

They should start to include them into CEs / Preorder-boni / PS+ freebies like on PS3
Or just make the game specific ones free as they are promotion material anyway. I'm still rocking the Hitman dynamic theme on PS3, pretty slick.

If you stream via the share button, can viewers see your wallpaper? That's the first reason that popped into my head, but if they can't see it then you're probably right.

they should tie these themes to pre-orders or getting trophies

CozMick · Nov 19, 2014

In Europe we have a rectangle, paper boat and a spinning flower...

No game themes though :/

Bloody scee.

thenexus6 · Nov 19, 2014

Wish you could preview, at the least the sound.

MomoPufflet · Nov 19, 2014

I understand why they do it, but I don't like when they put the game's title/logo in the theme like in The Order one. Would rather just a nice, clean, textless picture.

nbnt · Nov 19, 2014

No black borders no buy.

Breakfast at Noon · Nov 19, 2014

Just asked @yosp for uk release date for LBP theme, he just asked someone else if he has a idea.

i'm just chuffed shu replied to me

TP-DK · Nov 19, 2014

I find it really annoying that when you enter the notifications, messages etc. It shows the standard theme.

ThoughtsOfSpeaking · Nov 19, 2014

Id rather just be given the ability to set my own wallpaper and system music thanks.

Katana_Strikes · Nov 19, 2014

I find all these themes so far are horrid. I don't think they work well with the UI. I'm still rocking the original blue waves which is spot on and can't see that changing.

Thanks for the previews.

Order one sucks other than the music sounding nice.
LBP3 looks like I might grab it.

These look ok...

Breakfast at Noon · Nov 19, 2014

I wish they allowed me to put my on sound in for boot up

Dat PS2 sound.

reminder · Nov 19, 2014

Give me a nice RIME theme with beautiful music and/or the sound of the ocean and seagulls, and i'll gladly pay for it.
