Celebrate Thursday with BioShock 2 gamerpics and themes photo

Curse you, Cult of Rapture, for making me have to squint me eyes in order to see your newest BioShock 2-themed wares.

Besides a free PlayStation 3 theme, which can be downloaded by clicking here, 2K Games has put out a premium theme for Xbox 360 (240 Microsoft Points), as well as gamerpics (80 MS Points) too.

While I am not one to buy gamerpics -- except for the one time when I got my Mr. Destructoid/Bomberman LIVE picture -- I will say that this BioShock 2 picture pack is pretty swanky. And the paid theme? Not half bad, but freebies can't exactly be beaten.

Free PS3 theme and a premium Xbox 360 theme. Hmmm, I can only wonder which one I'll download and which one I won't.

It's ridiculous that MS still charges that much for a theme. I think the PS3 versions usually look better along with their custom icons, not to mention, FREE.

But I heard somewhere once that MS like making boatloads of money? Even from paying members of its Live service? Can someone confirm this?

Microsoft needs to learn that some things should be free

Yes! I love paying for ads! I just wasn't getting enough from movie theaters, XBL, and EA Sports, but now I can bask in the pleasure of paying $3 for a wallpaper that will make sure I buy Bioshock 2.

Ah yes, that entitlement complex. The one that you have clearly never given in to. I can't think of a single time where you've bitched about anything.

Not only are most of the best PS3 themes free, you can actually just make your own or use the ones that others have created.

Too much money for ME to be paying to advertise THEIR game. Sorry, not gonna happen. Especially after Microsoft has already decided once in this console's lifespan to make your existing themes unusable.

People have the right to bitch about paying for themes. It fucking CHANGES THE WAY THINGS LOOK. Why pay actual money for that?
