In addition to its gaming abilities, the PlayStation 3 (PS3) is a multimedia device that supports audio, video and photos. When multiple people are using a single PS3, the ability to create additional profiles (referred to as Users by the PS3) allows everyone to have their own theme, in-game settings, control preferences and PlayStation Network account linked to that user. User accounts cannot be password protected.

Press the "X" button and use the on-screen keyboard to enter a name for the user. Select "OK" to save the profile.
