Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring ... except Capcom, who snuck a Street Fighter IV Premium Theme onto Xbox LIVE!
The 250 MS Points theme was made available on December 24, just in time for the holidays. Now I want Street Fighter IV just as much as the next gamer; I've had quite enough of playing it at crowded industry events or stinky arcades ... bring it home already, Capcom!
But after reading about the Street Fighter IV theme's released on Tilted Screen, something possessed me to fire up my console and then spend 250 MS Points on it. I have never purchased a theme in my life, and have even publicly thrown stones at anyone who has. But there I was, spending $3.12, and for what?
Not much, actually -- there's some fancy Street Fighter-themed backgrounds when viewing your friends list, and there's some "wallpapers" that are mostly obscured by NXE menus. So is this thing worth three bucks? Nah, probably not. But are there really any premium themes worth the dough? Have you spend money on any themes and felt satisfied with your purchase?

I didn't notice if it changed the shit that's behind each one of my friends, though. Is that the difference between a regular theme and a premium one?
I never bought the old themes, but these I can dig.
>_>
...I bought the ATHF theme...
-__-;;
...at least it's the neighborhood, and it has Carl. Soooo...
all the premium avatars are are little scenes behind your friends. old themes are worthless now, as the image is skewed and blocked by the new nxe stuff.
which blows my fucking MIND seeing as microsoft is still scamming people the fuck out of their money by continuing to sell OLD THEMES THAT DONT WORK ANYMORE.
also i will buy the sf4 theme.
The only theme I'll ever pay money for is the Beautiful Katamari theme...who cares if Beautiful sucked....Katamari is awesome
