How to Apply Themes to PS3 From the Computer

When you turn on your PS3 system, the first screen displayed is the XMB menu. PS3 themes are settings that change the overall look of the XMB menu. Themes can change the menu's background and the look of icons. They vary in design depending on your interest and come in different genres such as movies, music and sports. Upload and apply a new theme to your PS3 menu and give your gaming console a personalized look in minutes.
