11) Customising your PS3
Try Googling 'PS3 .p3t theme' to find downloadable examplesof PS3's new Themes - the alternative desktops, menus and fonts for your PS3 that have been enabled since the recent 2.0 firmware update. Read on through this article for our tips on how to transfer them to your PS3. You can even make your ownThemes. All you'll need is Sony's PC-only design software, which is available for free here.

R u sure ? I have tried hundreds of themes none changed the font . If it is possible please tell me how.

When you import a music CD your PS3 automatically pulls down the album art and stores it with the tracks.

Isn't this part wrong? I know you can add album artwork to files (and it will use artwork stored in mp3 files copied to the system), but the PS3 NEVER downloads album artwork for imported CD's as far I'm aware (though it can find the track info). If it can automatically retrieve artwork, could someone please tell me how to activate this feature? Since this is a UK article, is this something that UK PS3's can do that is disabled in U.S. systems?

XMB > Settings > Themes > Font

There's only three typefaces to choose from. I like the default typeface the best.

It can't, you have to find it on Google or something.

Dude...isn't gaming supposed to be FUN? What kind of lazy morans cheat themselves out of fun???

I can see this for playing "unlockables" such as characters in fighting games, or outfits for Lara Croft in Tomb Raider for example.

To me it's not fun to have to beat some extremely convoluted time trial to see optional characters or outfits.

lol...I love the part about doing your updates at work!

How am I suppose to fit that in while surfing, playing games and listening to music....oh...and of course working

There are many games that have no trophy that require you to beat the game with specific characters that generally share very similar to exactly the same missions, which some people want the goodies without putting the effort to get them, either they can not bare to beat th game again or some other reason...

There are people who don't care for trophys what does a trohpy do?

Can you exchange them for cash? no but can you exchange time for cash?

You will find older people generally dislike or not interested in trophys at all, ive noticed the older the person the less likely they will find any additional gameplay with trophys...

When you really think about you realize that rophys are very shallow they will decade they will vanish, and most mean nothing what did you do to get them... does anyone really care how many trophys you earned and why... they have even less value on the fact that most of them are usually handouts, or require you to hurt the team you play on...

Trophy Hunters can kill multiplayer games as tey hunt for trophies usually leading his or her team to falure as they attempt to obtain the trophys and not the play th game...

Well anyway life goes on...

Thanks for the info. It's great for the kids when they have friends over since they can all join in ... instead of some sitting on their hands watching if there was only support for 4 controllers. Sports games are ideal since there is no need to split-screen like an FPS .. where a maximum of four makes sense.
