What do you got for background/ Theme/ Gamerpic these days?

So yeah, one of my favorite features of the 360 is the media stuff, and setting my own picture to the background is genius. I think the PS3 does this aswell (I know the PSP does), so I thought, what do people use? So I thought in this thread we could talk about and show our backgrounds for 360, PS3, PC, PSP, whatever the fuck you got. Also, Gamerpics (And the PS3 equivalent if there is one).
I bought a few themes of Marketplace, but none are really cool.
So I use this for my 360 Background:

This here is my PC background:

And right hur is my Zune background (STFU Zunes rule):

So, post away. Oh, and if you use an official theme from the Marketplace, links can be found on xbox.com if you want to post them here.

    This thread is doing so well.
    But yea, I looked up PS3 stuff, and you can change the background (Though the instructions sound rather hard compared to the 360's "Press X to apply as background").

    I think you'll get more love by going to the desktop thread, though I don't think they talk about gamerpics very much.

    On a whim I bought the Dead Rising wallpapers. I was annoyed that I'd spent points on some random screenshots of zombies, but didn't have the heart to change it. Now I love seeing hoardes and hoardes of zombies cluttering up my view and making even the simple task of choosing the right menu option a trial and a half.

    I'm not being sarcastic by the way, I loves my zombies.

    The only real advantage of purchased wallpapers is the multiple images per blade.
    When you use a custom one, it's the same on all blades.
    But the Dead Rising theme is...meh...
    I like The Darkness one though...

    there is that handy site that lets you preview all the themes and stuff, so you can get a look at what you're buying. As it is, i just use this picture

    but bigger. And no, it's not obscene.

    :(

    I was looking at the themes pre-loaded on the 360, and the Halo one is butt-ugly...

    It looks fantastic on my 42" plasma.
