PSP® system Features
Customize your PSP® system and keep it safe for kids
Parenting – even when you're not in the room
We added security settings to the PSP® system so you can control what your kids access, even if you’re not around. Limit what they play or watch through ratings systems – like the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating system for games, and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) ratings for movies – or use the PSP® system hardware security settings.
Parental controls
The PSP® system's parental controls let you restrict what games, video discs (UMD®) or downloaded content your kids can watch. Once the parental controls are set, the PSP® system will only allow game or video content with an appropriate rating to be played. Those settings can only be changed with the system password, which only you will have.
Internet Browser start control
Since the PSP® system has built-in Wi-Fi access, you can make sure your kids aren’t getting online by making Internet access password protected. We call it Internet Browser Start Control.
Trend Micro web security
Unlike Internet Browser Start Control, Trend Micro Web Security for the PSP® system lets your kids get online, but blocks harmful, fraudulent and malicious sites on the Internet, especially the ones that are inappropriate for children and families.
Fees may apply to use of Web filtering services. For more information about Trend Micro for PSP® system visit https://boxreg.trendmicro.com/tmws/psp.
Go ahead. Make it your own.
Personalize the XMB™ home menu on your PSP® system with custom themes, backgrounds and icons.
Background color
Manually change your PSP® system background color – blue when you’re feeling blue, orange when you’re feeling whatever an orange feels like. Or you can let the PSP® system work on its own and the background color of the XMB™ will automatically change monthly.
Wallpaper
Use your favorite photo or digital image as wallpaper. May we suggest the pic of catching that ridiculous wave? Or the first time you did an Ollie in an empty swimming pool.
Custom themes
Change the whole look – icons and background – with a custom theme. Choose your favorite theme from the PlayStation®Store or find one online.
Create your own theme
Forget designing websites, comics or fine art. If you have designs skills, use them for the most important artistic endeavor of our time: your custom PSP® theme. Use the Custom Theme Converter and a graphics application program to design custom XMB™ icons and a truly custom background image.
