Browsing the Hong Kong PSN store, a member of PSbeyond.com noticed Sony are charging for themes.

Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
The developers can charge for em if they want...
but since people can make their own themes I would bet within hours if not minutes someone will clone it and make a free version.
(am not sure they can do the changing background thing and sound effects yet with the theme creator though)
If you can still make your own, charging is almost irrelevant.
Sucks for Hong Kong.
this could just be a mistake in the store, or the developers are charging for this theme.
But you can get 1000's of other theme online for free, and I don't think people will pay for it, if a similar version for free is release online
One thing thats kinda nit picky for me with the 360 is Themes!!! Why make users pay 6.25 for a theme pack?
