PS Vita ver 3.30 firmware update adds themes and trophy rarity.

The new firmware update for Sony's handheld is available now and is quite a good one this time. As mentioned in the title, you can now adorn your mini machine with various themes and you can also see how rare or common all of your hard earned trophies are.

The themes allow you to customize the start and home screens and change some system icons and change background tunes. So finally, Sony have realized they can make some more wonga from selling themes! Keep up Sony!!

Various themes are already available on the Playstation Store, and there are a few free ones thankfully, for those of us who don't want to pay for such things. Here's an example:
