Hi everyone, it’s Rusty Buchert from SCEA’s Santa Monica Studios again. I just wanted check in and let you know that .detuned will be available for download from the PlayStation Network beginning tomorrow for $2.99! For those of you that aren’t familiar with .detuned, it is another experiment with the demoscene and was made by .theprodukkt. (yes, there is supposed to be a period at the beginning of the name), who are located in Germany and have been a very influential group in the scene for over a decade.
So what the heck is .detuned? It isn’t exactly a game or an art piece like Linger in Shadows. It is a user-driven music visualizer that allows you to create your own visual performance to accompany your favorite music tracks on the XMB, simply by using the SIXAXIS controller to manipulate and interact with objects within a scene. It also has its own music and a performance you can watch, too!
So, for those of you wanting a different experience on the PS3, get your creative juices flowing now. I highly recommend downloading this tomorrow to have some fun.
Good pricing. It has the same price as a dynamic theme, but is surely a better value.
I got Linger in Shadows and it was actually really worth it. Very thought-provoking and interesting if you put down the (incredibly enjoyable, I might add) FPS mindset of “KILL IT ALL!” and take a moment to study it as art. Will definitely pick this up.
WAY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!!!

i had no idea you could digitally distribute acid… where do i download?
This is exactly the kind of content that PSN is so great at uniquely providing. My only complaint is that releases like this are too few and far between. More, please! :)
Just so you know on projects like this these are after hours projects for the teams. They have day jobs and things like this are literally a hobby. They do some amazaing things, but in turn projects like these can take a long while to make.
Glad you are looking forward to it.
Cheers
Rusty
