The first animated theme is now available for purchase. It is a LittleBigPlanet theme, and it will cost you $2.99, which is a dollar more than regular premium themes. it's a shame Sony didn't offer a free animated theme for people to try out, but the LBP theme is definitely something to check out if you don't mind spending the money.

    Agreed, I'll never buy them at that price, espeically without an indicator of what quality they are.

    Here I was hoping they would release this thing free, since they demoed it, only to find out when I update the firmware, that it is $3 >_<

    @Balefire - THe LBP theme is good, the demo of it was cool. I'm a cheapskate, and I don't want to pay for themes >_>

      It is animated then? If so, I'll have to remember to check when I log in to the PSN next.

          Yep, it is actually pretty good considering it is free.

          For those that want it, after getting on the JP store, look for a fairly recent icon (on the first page I would think), that has a Zebra with a yellow circle with a + shape in it, that's it. About 5MB.

          It's basically Zebras grazing with moving clouds in the background.

    'Sif you'd buy what essentially is slighty fancier window dressing.

    No thanks.

    I would've considered it if I actually liked the theme.

    Looks good, but an animated Flower theme would have been awesome.

    If free.

      That's be awesome. Though you can sort of get that if you just let FlOwer sit there for a bit, so it'd be a bit redundant.
