shortblog!: Braid Premium Theme now available for NXE
Zombutler \| 11:10 AM on 01.11.2009	16 comments

For all of you who never pay for themes, this may sway you....

Straight from the braid blog:

"Unfortunately, we had to charge the standard Premium Theme price of 250 Microsoft Points (which is about $3.10 in American money). We want to make it free, but Microsoft doesn’t like giving things out for free. But if you do buy it, you can be secure in the knowledge that you own one of the few Premium Themes that is not an advertisement — there is no text in the Braid theme anywhere. (Seriously, Microsoft, what is with the Subway: Eat Fresh Theme?)"

PICS: (gotta right click, view image)

I bought that shit. You should too.

I wish they'd let you preview the themes before you downloaded them. i totally would not have purchased the SF4 Premium Theme if I could preview it

Qraze

you bought a theme? what does it do? does it have a function thats worth paying for it other than a picture? i'm really curious to find an answer you someone would pay for something that don't do anything. i would never buy a premium ps3 theme just because alot of great free ones are available.

Qraze

typo, add a "why" in there after answer instead of you.

I'm with Blehman

Not bad, not bad at all.

I buy themes because they make the dashboard look a lot better than the default, and they help support the developers....in this case Jon Blow and his artist.

Yeah I'm usually not into buying themes and pics either, but this has swayed me. I had the perfect Psychonauts background with Castle Crasher icons on the dashboard before NXE, but now half of Raz is cut off. I'm gonna have to give in and get this one. Thanks for the heads up Zombutler.

That's actually a really nice theme, but I don't see me buying a premium theme ever.

Pyroph

Sold.

Also, it looks like Blow is giving away 20 copies of the game if you can name 10 games that I've never seen.

Good Lord, I hate Microsoft. Just let the developers make stuff for free if they want to.

Pyroph

Yeah, he's got fucked a lot by them.
