If you fancy something a little bit different from your usual trick or treating fare, PSN has the perfect solution to bring a little more fun to your Halloween. For a hauntingly suitable start, how about giving your PlayStation 3 a chilling new style with a variety of wallpapers and themes that can change the background, icons and colours of the Home Menu?
