    Custom Themes

    I've downloaded some custom themes for my PS3. Its got the latest update on it (2.01), so should be fine,

    I put the .p3t file onto my USB stick in the the PS3/THEME directory I created. I then plug it into the PS3 and ?????

    The theme section of the settings menu doesn't have any option for loading custom themes.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Re: Custom Themes

    Thanks for the link, I was looking at that one last night. It simply says create the PS3/THEME folders and then says "Now take the memory stick to your PS3 and plug it in. Navigate to the theme setting and you will have an option to install".

    Thats all fine, but I dont have the option to install themes!!

    The readme in the Offical PS3 compiler says:

    1. Place the theme file in the /PS3/THEME/ directory of a Memory Stick
    or USB storage, and connect it to PLAYSTATION(R)3.

    2. Select "Settings" > "Theme Settings" > "Theme" in the system software
    and install a theme file from the recording media.

    3. Select "Settings" > "Theme Settings" > "Theme" in the system
    software again. A list of theme files will be shown in the option menu.

    4. Select a theme file and "Apply". This theme will be applied to the
    screen.

    Again, I don't have the option to install as per step 2.

    Anyone used a custom theme?

    Problem solved. That video you posted showed the exact place to find the installer on the PS3 menu
