Popular Post Parker Posted December 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2014 Ouch, right in the nostalgia. Sony has released a new, free PS4 theme that invokes memories of the original PS1 console, even going so far as to change the console's start-up music. The new theme, which you can see below (thanks, Reddit), adds a grey background to the console and changes a number of the icons you can expect to see. The most exciting change for those among us with a weakness for nostalgia, however, is the fact that when you turn on the console you'll now hear those familiar chimes that greeted us 20 long years ago. As it currently stands, the theme is available on the EU PSN store, though we expect it'll arrive in North America later today. You can also get it for PS3 and PS Vita. In case you missed it earlier, Sony has announced an extremely limited edition PlayStation Anniversary PS4 console that's also set to channel the original piece of hardware. Source: IGN And a video showing off the awesomeness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkLPtcpSBDY Currently this is theme is only available in the EU but as soon as it is available in the NA region I'll be downloading it and using it for sure.

Razza Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 There is also a retro style theme available on PS3 from the PSN store for free, but it doesn't include the awesome start up music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowGandalf Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm in the EU store now but I can't find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm in the EU store now but I can't find it If it is like the other themes, you have to go to the theme section in your PS4 options (from the main menu) and select a theme that way. For some reason themes aren't in the store, at least in the NA region. Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Leal Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I like this theme, it's really quite epic! I think the new themes on PS4 are very cool. 20th Anniversary Theme is so awesome, love that 'PS1 start up sound' when the theme loads, kicks me right in the nostalgia.

Spark-N Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Ohhhh I like this, thanks for sharing, will be using that for the rest of my ps4 lifespan lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Also if you turn off "Key Tone" in the PS4's sound settings, you'll only get the PS1 start-up music when you boot up your PS4, rather than have both the theme music and original PS4 start-up tune mixing together at the same time.
