Still sucks how the only free themes and gamerpics EU customers get is the Halo 1, 2, and 3 themes, and the Halo: Combat Evolved pics.

Christian Walters @ Oct 16th 2008 8:29AM

Yes but LIVE is also 50 times better than the PS3s online service.

Devin @ Oct 17th 2008 11:10AM

Care to elaborate on that one Christian?

Momer @ Oct 15th 2008 5:09PM

The only thing there that interests me is the Dead Space suit, but I haven't even bought that yet so....

Tony @ Oct 15th 2008 5:11PM

I would get the suit but apparently it's Gold only now... oh well.

Aeikozz @ Oct 15th 2008 5:57PM

it amazes me how people still won't pay for live.

Foodie_Monster @ Oct 15th 2008 6:26PM

Not everybody plays online, ya know? I don't pay for Live and I've never really wanted to. I get plenty out of my single player games.

Tony @ Oct 15th 2008 6:34PM

I've paid for it in the past, but considering how rarely I use it it's not really something I'm tripping over myself to pay for.

Particularly when this is DLC for a single player game.

party killa @ Oct 16th 2008 12:43AM

yo, it's only 4 dollars a month. free themes, music and video footage .i think the live (gold) service is a preety good deal.

Martin Greenberg @ Oct 16th 2008 3:47AM

On my PS3, I pay half the cost of Live (it comes with free online play anyway) for exclusive content and behind-the-scenes stuff. I also have a 360, and I like the graphics and games better, so don't label me a fanboy please. I just hate having to pay 50 dollars a year for something I get free on another system.

Bobluling @ Oct 15th 2008 5:17PM

Done done and done!

Ghen @ Oct 16th 2008 7:33AM

yay free stuff ;) I just wish games like too human would release free stuff for advertising !

yolarrydabomb @ Oct 15th 2008 5:19PM

wow I love free stuff but I hate my 20GB HD

time for 120gb upgrade.

BIGFAT @ Oct 16th 2008 12:36AM

you should wait, with the holiday season coming up and the price drops on the other 360hd theres bound to be some type of movement on the higher priced hds.

im waiting anyway.

DBoyFlex @ Oct 16th 2008 10:44AM

Good thinking, but it seems as though they recently dropped the price of the 120 already to 150. I guess it is possible it will drop a bit more, but I doubt it. I think the 60 gig pack will be 100 bucks for it and some other stuff, but that is only rumor. If you want it just get it, it is so nice to have the extra space. I no longer have to worry about deleting each demo right after play in order to DL another one. Plus, with HDD instals, I am gonna take advantage of that on some of the more graphically intense games, ie GTA, gears, Fallout, etc. You get the idea: just do it.

ThePharoah @ Oct 15th 2008 6:23PM

I can wait to see whether any of that will be usable in a month. I'm not seeing any talks of what will happen to old themes with the new firmware and panels. Will they still be usable, or will MS reimburse us? What, I tell you! What?

alx @ Oct 15th 2008 7:53PM

yes theyve said numerous times that you can still use your old themes and gamerpics. no more blades though

Tony @ Oct 15th 2008 6:35PM

The theme backgrounds apparently get applied to the background of the new design.

ZombiesRPplsToo @ Oct 15th 2008 6:51PM

Too bad this stuff all sucks

offday @ Oct 15th 2008 6:56PM

Ahh stop with Saws. They just suck now.

AoE @ Oct 15th 2008 9:01PM

now? Try starting with the first one. As truly an uninspired horror franchise as ever existed.

Tom @ Oct 15th 2008 9:33PM

The 1st Saw was a decent enough horror movie, but yeah......Saw V. Wow. Hitting a new low.

offday @ Oct 15th 2008 10:45PM

Really? I thought the first one was awesome. Espicially the ending. It was one of those WTF NO WAY! moments for sure.

dunnypop @ Oct 16th 2008 12:07PM

I think the first 2 Saws were pretty good. Everything else was garbage. I'm sure this is just as bad.

Anticrawl @ Oct 15th 2008 7:47PM

Guess I'll download the Star Ocean theme when I'm done Shadowrunning.

FriskyFlorist @ Oct 15th 2008 8:32PM

Don't bother, it's one picture four times. Waste of space.

Barron @ Oct 15th 2008 8:52PM

Do you think it's possible to download the dead space suit now, and use it when i purchase the game much later?

AoE @ Oct 15th 2008 9:01PM

I don't see why not. I've preemptively downloaded content before, and It's always worked fine :)

Christian @ Oct 15th 2008 9:53PM

That's exactly what I'm thinking of doing.

Flakundenga @ Oct 15th 2008 10:02PM

same question here

birdshake @ Oct 15th 2008 11:59PM

Of course you can. After all it's on your hard drive.
Same goes with all games and DLC.

Bennyishere @ Oct 16th 2008 12:00AM

Of course you can. A Dead Space folder will be created under My Games with that skin, and when you buy the game the save file uses the same directory and the game recognizes it.

Hafk @ Oct 15th 2008 10:44PM

Nice, but none of them look good enough to replace my free Dream Theater theme.

Although, this is just the Dream Theater fanboy inside of me talking. (However, it does look sweet)
