Like the living watercolor feel of Valkyria Chronicles? Then Sega has a PlayStation 3 theme for you. Actually, make that a trio of PS3 themes. Right now you can download the Valkyria Chronicles custom theme (pictured), which was quietly released on the official site on April 1^st.

The Vakyria Chronicles custom theme (icon version) was just released to celebrate the game’s launch in Japan. Then on May 30^th Sega will release the third theme, Valkyria Chronicles custom theme (militia version). To get the second theme you need to have a Japanese PlayStation Network account. However, you can get the first theme without any hassle by heading to the official site clicking on download then custom thema.

Huh? I'm kind of a PS3 newbie here, so you can go to websites via the web browser and download themes?

@Cain - I don't know if a direct download would work, but if you follow the instructions you can download the Valkyria Chronicles theme file then copy it on to your PS3 with the help of a memory stick/SD card or other input device. Does that make more sense?

Ah okay, thanks, that sounds much easier anyway. ^_^

Yes, a direct download from the PS3's native browser will install themes in the proper place. It's the only way I've gone about putting themes on there, actually, because I don't have to even think about folder structure or anything but Download... However, it WILL NOT let you perform a theme download in the background.

Of course, this only applies if the downloaded file is in the proper format (.p3u or something similar to it, I forget off-hand), and not in some kind of zip or rar or such.

I tried going on the website http://valkyrie.jp w/ the PS3 browser, but the "download page" wouldn't load? When the page first loads up, it asks me do I want to install plug-in and I chose yes. Any settings I need to mess with?
