The American Eagle is BY FAR my favorite example of just how hilariously atrocious the themes are. It is so bad it is actually genius.
It is really funny the OP started this thread, as I just stumbled across the themes myself last night and was totally thinking the same.
Does anyone know of any resources that detail how one makes a theme for the PS4 and submits it? I might as well put that art school degree to good use and save the world from this awful atrocities. I am serious as well. If anyone could share any tutorials, file specifications, etc., I am definitely going to look into it.

I'm interested as well! Let's start our own studio and make themes for it! Also serious.

I don't know how but I 100% support it. If that company can get approved, it can't be that hard.
The Brooklyn Bridge one is cool but it's way out of date with the skyline. Other than that the only themes I've used were the Day of the Dead theme on Ps3 (cool but laggy) and the PlayStation anniversary one on the PS4. Everything else has seemed really silly and ugly even with a free download.
That's corny as shit!

themes just dont do anything for me. never seen a good looking one on ps3 and yet to see one for ps4.
even if there was a good one i wouldn't pay any amount of money for it.

I have the boat dynamic theme.
It's pretty great and the music is nice.

That Virtual Burger company putting those themes are FUCKING GARBAGE.
Seriously... this is pure shit... like, the person who tried drawing these has no clue how to draw. Its like someone asked the stoner kid in 8th grade to draw his favorite binder doodle for a PS4 Theme.
LOOT AT THISFUCKING THING! That Hand... that armor? rectangle shirt?
Here they didnt even bother making even windows in those buildings... lets just throw a bunch of different squares together!
What the fuck is this?
THESE ALL COST THREE U.S. DOLLARS!!!!
Im a freelance artist (slash stay at home dad) and was just talking to my friends about this. How in the fuck does someone like THAT get to put up themes on PSN?
How would I go about getting licensed by sony to upload themes under my own company?

Noobish question here, but how do you do custom sound effects? I would love to incorporate the Final Fantasy 8 button-pressing sound effects into my PS4 UI.

yea those dont look too good
Would get sued in no time since all of gafs themes would just be animated gifs using licensed properties.

What is that Final Fantasy XIII game icon of?
It's an avatar from Dissidia Duocidem 012, IIRC. 49 cents on the NA PSN store.
Those are all by a company called Virtual Burger. Can't believe Sony let them on the store.
The FFXIV one is beautiful, though. As are some other official themes.
Just downloaded this I don't think I'll ever change it!

Huh, I didn't realise avatars from the PSN Store made icons on the XMB.

I'm trying to make a UK account to download it but the webstore is asking me for a residential address. What do I have to do here?
Whoops, I thought he was talking about the avatar. Didn't see the FF13 icon cut off on the right. My bad!

The EU store has more shit, shovelware themes and avatars on it than anything else. You go into the 'New This Week' tab and you have to browse through pages and pages of that shit just to find anything of relevance. It's horrible.
You really should be able to set default sort options.

The 20th anniversary theme is the classiest ever conceived, so I'm good.
For most of my PS3's life I used the Wipeout Dynamic theme...

...it was a good one.

I love Pokken!
The Nebula Theme is good. The way it rotates feels like you're falling towards it. No music, though.
This + Mass Effect Illusive Man Theme would be sooooooooooooo good

Yeah, some of the themes are... Interesting.
I was using 20th anniversary, but currently using Grim Fandango. They're both good, but I'm loving the Toro theme. If it wasn't a bit of a hassle to get one, I'd totally buy it.
