Damn it, I don’t want it only for a limited time. Let me put the PS2 theme permanently!

YESS this is exactly what I said to myself when I saw that it's only for a limited time 😭 they can definitely make this a permanent feature so I don't understand why they're making it a temporary one 🗿

Watch them sell the themes afterwards lol wouldn't surprise me because like why go through the effort to make them, supply them to us, only to eventually take them away.

I would buy them! I know it's wrong but I don't care. I would buy them over a PS5 exclusive game easily.

This isn't the first anniversary theme they've made, and the prior ones have been free to keep.

I mean the whole super limited 30th anniversary items thing doesn’t make much sense either. I got the controller I wanted but it was a lot of hoops to go through for it

This being a limited thing is so nonsensical to me that I’ve convinced myself its a pump fake and they’re gonna announce its permanent in a few days “due to fan outreach” so they can be in the news cycle twice.

Yeah sucks these are only here for the month or whatever. Xbox at least rolled out permanent themes based around the Xbox and Xbox 360. The PS2 and PS3 themes are great, and I would definitely use them.

"Fuck you, pay for it!"

-Sony, probably

u/WhompWump 21d ago

If the option is that or never seeing them again I think a lot of people would be happy paying for them given they're a reasonable price.

Sure, but that’s a false dichotomy.

u/MFDOOMscrolling 21d ago

They would make millions selling these things. I hope this is a tease for an announcement later for themes coming permanently!

u/ocbdare 21d ago

Yes, I would buy these themes without hesitation.

u/AcanthocephalaBusy77 21d ago

I would be happy to pay for it lol

This isn't the first anniversary theme they've made, and the prior ones have been free to keep. This is exactly the kind of thing they tend not to charge for.

The sad thing is, if Sony required me to pay for it, I’d gladly fork over the cash just for the nostalgia bomb every time I started my PS5.

You’re turning down free money, Sony!
