the ugly grey friends boxes.

The jumbo sized font and icons.

but the worst thing is the fruity pink start up screen and user select screen with sparkles.

No, it cannot be changed. It used to be black at night time. Now it's always pink. (and changes every 15 days).

Are these guys on crack? PEOPLE LIKE FAMILIARITY. I don't need to be surprised with a new color every 15 days. Especially not pink!

They said the average PSN user is 28 years old and male. Why would they think we would want a pink start up screen with sparkles? Is that what they pay these geniuses to do at Sony?

Hey man, Let's run a kick ass game of KILLZONE 2 and blow off some Helghast heads!!!!

*turns on PS3 and sees the pink background*

What the....? Why the hell is my start up screen and user select screen PINK now? Ugh... that completely ruined the mood.  I'm gonna go play my Xbox 360 now.

Yup. Sorry. Pink completely ruins the mood.

So I shouldn't update until I need too?

Sorry, wrong forum!!

Mods, please move to the Sony section :)

the pink can be changed just put it on blue or something or just download a theme

Really? I do like the new look.

to make you go into
THE COLORS DUKE THE COLORS!
mode , everytime you startup the console.

Why is pink 'fruity' why do you care how it starts up or looks like. I use my PS3 to play games, and I don't care what it looks like when it starts up. Though I do miss the opening sound

You are defending the PS3? =o!!!!! cannot believe!

(or are you just stealth trolling and telling ps3 owners Its okay to be gay! )

I just don't like random complaining. It is the one thing that I hate more than my PS3 ()

No.

Did you read the OP? I am talking about the start up screen and user select screens. These CANNOT be changed!!!
