Kobe Bryant PS3 Theme [Update]

Update: This post was originally written on August 15, 2010 and was relocated to exist here in the GallantTeddy blog.

Hey everyone, welcome to a special edition post of “ERC.” I call this a special edition post because I tried out something new the other day and I was hoping that I could share it with you all. As you can see from the title, I decided to make a PlayStation 3 theme based on my favorite sports star Kobe Bryant.

I have always enjoyed changing up the style of my PlayStation 3 because I feel as though not that many people are aware of its full capabilities so I figure a theme is a nice way of showing a little piece of what the PS3 is capable of. Since I change my PS3 theme quite often, I visit BestPS3themes.com regularly because they have a nice collection of various different themes. However, many of those themes I also didn’t care for much, not necessarily because they were bad but just simply because they didn’t appeal to me. 

Also, as far as I know I still have not seen a Kobe Bryant PS3 Theme anywhere out there so options were also limited. Anyways, to not make this any longer I decided to follow the tutorial that BestPS3themes.com has to offer, which might I add is fairly simple to use. In all honesty, this is my very first theme that I have created and it required a lot of work and a lot of my own personal time. However, I can’t help but feel a little proud of my efforts and I hope you enjoy the theme.

Please comment and let me know what you think about the theme.

Thank you guys for some really great backgrounds and I am sorry for removing your names from the images. I just felt as though they remove the attention off the images. But please let me know if more acknowledgement is needed.
